Clarity. Compassion. Choice.
Empowering families and schools to create aligned, inclusive learning paths—where every child can thrive.

At Mindful Alignment Consulting, we provide integrated educational, mental health, and parenting consulting for families navigating complex school and developmental decisions. With over 30 years of combined experience across education and mental health, we offer interdisciplinary support that bridges learning, behavioral health, and family systems.

We partner with families, pediatricians, schools, and family law professionals to navigate complex educational decisions, support neurodiverse learners, and address social-emotional and behavioral needs with clarity and care. Our work is informed by both educational expertise and clinical insight, allowing us to offer thoughtful, trauma-informed guidance that considers the whole child—academically, emotionally, and relationally.

Whether you are selecting a school, navigating special education supports, building a parenting plan, or creating more inclusive and responsive learning environments, we walk alongside you with compassion, professionalism, and a deep commitment to alignment and long-term growth.

Why This Partnership Matters

At the intersection of mental health and education, our partnership brings the combined expertise of a licensed clinician and a licensed educator to help children, families, and schools thrive. By uniting two professional perspectives, we bridge the gap between mental health and education, ensuring that:

  • Students feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.

  • Families feel heard, not dismissed, and gain confidence navigating complex systems.

  • Educators have practical tools that reduce stress and improve outcomes.

Together, we help create school environments where every child can thrive.
