Brenda Martin-Tousignant

Dr. Martin-Tousignant is an expert parent coach, with over 15 years of experience working with children and their families in a variety of settings.  She is trained in Circle of Security Parenting, Child Parent Psychotherapy, Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up, Nurturing Families, and the Child First Framework.  Through her work with families, she has come to understand that parents need two key components in order to optimize their parenting and relationship with their child(ren): the ability to regulate their own reaction and emotions in response to their child(ren)’s behavior and dysregulation, and skills to manage difficult behaviors when they arise.  Dr. Martin-Tousignant will meet you wherever you are in your parenting journey with warmth, acceptance, compassion, understanding, skill building and reflection. She is trained to help you understand your reactions to your child and build skills to both regulate yourself and address your child’s difficult behaviors. Her goal is to increase support and offer research informed parenting guidance through parenting’s most challenging moments.
