I’m Shanen Sadowski— 

I’m a licensed therapist, certified coach, and a fellow parent who’s lived the very things you might be facing right now.

I know what it’s like when your life no longer feels like your own. When every day revolves around your adult child — worrying about what they’re doing, wondering if they’re safe, or bracing yourself for the next crisis.

I know the heartbreak of watching your child refuse treatment, the fear that pushing too hard will cost you the relationship, and the grief of realizing that life doesn’t look anything like you imagined it would. I know what it’s like to walk on eggshells, unsure whether you’re helping or enabling, feeling torn between protecting your child and pushing them in order to protect their future.

These experiences changed my life & work. I’ve combined years of professional experience in trauma and relationship therapy, motivation enhancement, and techniques such as LEAP and CBTp, with lived experience to help parents navigate this rocky terrain that none of us were prepared for when we became parents.

If you’re exhausted from doing everything for your adult child & still feeling like it’s never enough — I want you to know there’s another way, and you don’t have to do it alone. I’d love to show you how.
