My Vision

A world where families thrive in truth, love, and authenticity.

My Mission

For all parents to fall in love with their parenting journey.


I believe in fitting my expertise into the family, rather than the family having to fit into my expertise.
— Lina Acosta Sandaal, Founder

Mission Statement

Stop Parenting Alone represents love, kindness, compassion, truth, and knowledge.  I am all about parenting and supporting families in listening to their inner voices and strengthening their ability to make good choices for their children. I use the information and research in attachment theory, interpersonal neuro-biology, Child-Parent Psychotherapy, and real life parenting experiences with the goal in mind that each family find their authenticity and become their truest selves. I am committed to enriching the lives of my clients by assisting in self-discovery, encouraging them to attain the change desired, and creating the space to explore their roles as individuals, partners, and parents.

My clients are diverse and multifaceted families, parents, and individuals that are attempting to be present and intentional in their daily interactions with one another and their communities.  The parents who find me seek out a community that wants to raise a well-rounded citizen of the world.  What sets me apart from other forms of parenting help is my belief that with the right information, parents and individuals always make the right choices for their children and themselves.  Most importantly, I don’t want parents to be out in the world feeling like they are not doing a good job at the one thing that is most important to them.  I empower parents to really find for themselves what fits.  And when I ask a parent &/or an individual, “What fits?  What works in your house?” they can always tell me. Each family is autonomous, and I respect that by fitting my expertise to the family, rather than the family having to fit into my expertise. 

 

Thank you...from the bottom of my heart. Words couldn’t completely articulate how grateful I am for your help.
