About Me

Navigating the complexities of childhood can present significant hurdles for families. Many parents find themselves grappling with children who exhibit intense temperamental outbursts or resist reasoning. Disrespectful and demanding behaviors can create further strain. Additionally, childhood anxiety can transform everyday occurrences, such as attending school or birthday parties, into sources of considerable stress. Challenges surrounding sleep, eating, and toileting are also frequently encountered, leading some children to avoid, refuse, or make excessive demands on their parents.

The journey of fostering essential life skills in children, encompassing self-control, respect, cooperation, independent sleep, and healthy eating habits, can leave parents feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about the most effective path forward. Recognizing this profound need, Beth Grosshans, a dedicated professional in the field, has made it her mission to equip these families with the insights and practical strategies necessary to overcome these developmental and behavioral obstacles.

Beth Grosshans laid her academic groundwork by earning a B.A. in Psychology from The University of Cincinnati. Her commitment to in-depth knowledge led her to Ohio State University, where she obtained both her Master’s degree and Ph.D. in Clinical Child Psychology.

Her transition into the professional realm began with an internship at the esteemed Boston Children’s Hospital and Judge Baker's Children’s Center psychiatric inpatient unit. This pivotal experience allowed her to apply her extensive academic learning in a real-world setting, benefiting from the mentorship of leading experts at Harvard Medical School.
