From Struggle to Secure Connection
Challenging behaviors, emotional outbursts, or constant testing of limits can leave you feeling drained and unsure what to do next.
Get practical, TBRI-informed support designed specifically for foster, adoptive, and kinship parents. We focus on connection first, then give you clear tools to respond to behaviors with more calm and confidence.
Does This Sound Like You?
You might be experiencing:
Frequent emotional outbursts or meltdowns that feel impossible to manage
Defiance, aggression, or withdrawal that drains your energy
Feeling like you’re “walking on eggshells” at home
Repeating the same behavior cycles day after day
Guilt that nothing you try seems to work
You’re not failing. You’re raising a child with a unique story — and you deserve support that truly understands that.
Imagine If You Went From…
These small shifts in understanding can make a noticeable difference!
Meet Your Guide
Hi, I’m Lea
I’m a wife, a mom, and someone who has spent over seven years walking alongside foster, adoptive, and kinship families. I know how heavy it feels when challenging behaviors show up again and again. The exhaustion, the guilt, the feeling that you’re doing everything you can and still falling short.
That’s why I created this support and workshop. It is TBRI-informed (Trust-Based Relational Intervention).I help you build connection first, then give you practical tools to respond to behaviors with more calm, clarity, and confidence.
I’m here because I genuinely care about helping parents like you feel stronger and more connected to your child.

Frequently asked questions
What is TBRI-informed support?
TBRI (Trust-Based Relational Intervention) is a research-based model that helps parents meet a child’s needs through connection. This is not a TBRI training course. It is practical, parent-focused support that teaches you how to build trust first and then address challenging behaviors through the lenses of TBRI, attachment and trauma.
Who is this support for?
The family support service is for foster, adoptive, and kinship parents (or those in the process) anywhere in the world who are struggling with challenging behaviors. The workshop is for any entity that cares for families with adoptive/foster/kinship children or directly works with children with difficult histories.
Where are the services available?
- Online Support for families anywhere in the world
- Foster, Adoption and Kinship workshop in-person/online in Indiana
- Foster, Adoption and Kinship workshop online outside Indiana
What are the fees for the workshop?
You can reach out to me on info@leadarido.com and we will address your need and based on the package chosen a fee will be decided.
What are the fees for the Family Support service?
All sessions are $100 for 45 minutes.
This is a significantly discounted rate because this work is deeply personal to me — it’s passion-driven and ministry-oriented. My goal is to make quality, TBRI-informed support accessible to as many foster, adoptive, and kinship families as possible.
Please note: Because of the limited number of spots I can take, this pricing is only available for a small number of families at a time.
Is Family Support therapy?
No. This is practical, insight-oriented support focused on building connection and responding to challenging behaviors. It is not therapy.
Explore More Ways I Can Support You
Individual
Therapy
If you’re carrying relational patterns or past wounds that quietly affect your life — whether it shows up as anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, difficulty in relationships, low self-worth, emotional numbness, or repeating patterns you don’t fully understand — individual therapy offers a safe, one-on-one space to explore and heal at your own pace.
Together, we develop new ways of responding to yourself and others that feel more secure, authentic, and freeing.
Couples
Therapy
If patterns from your past are showing up in your partnership — arguments that loop, emotional distance, or difficulty feeling truly safe and connected — couples therapy offers a gentle, structured space to rebuild trust and intimacy.
We explore attachment styles together, improve communication, and create new ways of relating that feel secure for both of you.
Family
Therapy
When family dynamics feel tense, stuck, or out of balance — whether it's parent-child conflicts, sibling issues, blended family challenges or more— family therapy helps everyone feel heard and understood.
Drawing on attachment and systems perspectives, we work to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and foster stronger, more supportive connections across the family.

Discover Your Attachment Style
Curious about how your attachment style shapes your relationships today? This focused, one-time session is a gentle interview-style exploration to identify your style (secure, anxious, avoidant, disorganized), understand its origins, and gain practical insights into patterns and growth opportunities. It's a great starting point or standalone tool for self-awareness.
