Parenting is a day-to-day opportunity to love, understand, and form a citizen of the world.
— Lina Acosta Sandaal, MA, LMFT

I am a psychotherapist, child and adolescent development expert, and parent.

Stop Parenting Alone was founded on the idea that with the right information, parents always make the right choices for their children.  I apply information and research in attachment theory, interpersonal neuro-biology, child-parent psychotherapy and real life parenting experiences towards the goal that each family find their authenticity and become their truest selves.  My mission is for all parents to fall in love with their parenting journey.


Lina has created a safe and nurturing little place where you feel warmth and comfort by the knowledge and empowerment you receive from the expert. Finding Lina was heaven sent for us.
