Dr. Tracy Hogan McMillan
CMHC, LPC — Clinical Parent Training
For parents in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
There was a time you could say, "Everything will work out" — and it did. But your child's world is different now. Their emotions swing from joy to despair. Their trials are real, and they are heavy. You want to "comfort them when they need it and help them bear their burdens" (Mosiah 18:8–9). This training shows you how.
This Training Is For Parents Who:
Can see their child is hurting — and feel helpless watching the discouragement, anxiety, or anger grow
Find that conversations with their child keep ending in conflict, shutdown, or rejection
Want simple, clinically proven tools they can actually use — starting today
Long to share a scripture that touches their child's heart, without it landing like a lecture

Become the Parent-Counselor Your Child Needs
Isaiah prophesied that Jesus Christ would be called "Wonderful Counselor." To follow Him is to become more like Him — especially when someone we love is suffering.
How do I become a better parent-counselor?
CALM
I've distilled 30 years of clinical counseling into four powerful steps any parent can learn. These skills prepare the mind of your child for a scripture.
Then, when you speak, the power of the Holy Ghost carries it into the heart of your child (2 Nephi 33:1). Your main goal is not to lecture and/or fix their problems — but to listen compassionately, and share facts that prepare them for the one scripture that helps them feel inspired to take just one small step for change. In this way, you are nurturing your child's emotional self-reliance — one conversation at a time.
