The AFFIRM Program 

with Nationally-Recognized Parenting Expert, Rachel Hulstein-Lowe

 

A 6-month transformational process to shift your parenting from anxious to empowered using tools that will support and ground you so that you can support your kid’s gender journey.

As the parent of a gender-diverse kid...

  • Are you worried about their safety at school, in public, and in the world?

  • Do you wonder if this is a phase, attention-seeking or a sign of mental illness?

  • Are you struggling to understand your child’s gender diversity and need unbiased support?

If this sounds like you,

YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE!

Hi, I’m Rachel!

 

I’m confident that you can transform your relationship with your kid and feel empowered and engaged in your parenting. Through empathy, validation and education, I can help you strengthen and support your gender-diverse kid as their authentic self.

​

As a sought-after podcast guest and clinician, as well as the proud parent of two kids, my eldest being nonbinary, I have helped moms and dads just like you to move from feeling overwhelmed to secure in their family relationships.​

My 6-Step A.F.F.I.R.M. Program™ is designed to empower you to build a trusting and loving relationship with your kid by providing expert socio-emotional guidance, tried-and-true parenting strategies, and judgment-free feedback. My method offers a safe environment for examining mindsets, enhancing child development and gender-diversity knowledge, as well as building skills through practice and reflection.

Why Work With Me

With over 20 years of experience as a licensed therapist, I have helped hundreds of parents move from anxiety to empowerment, as well as hundreds of kids find their most authentic, confident selves

​

I am a gender diversity expert, parent coach, writer, and speaker, who helps parents of trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive youth be their number one allies. I am also the parent of two kids, my eldest being nonbinary. I know what it’s like on both sides of the therapy couch.

​

​Join me for a 6-month transformational journey during which you will shift from anxious to empowered when parenting your kid. With tools for understanding gender and gender diversity, you’ll feel calmer communicating with your child, as well as more grounded in your parenting so that you and your family can thrive.

THE 6-MONTH JOURNEY

TO AFFIRM YOUR CHILD'S GENDER BEGINS HERE.

The A.F.F.I.R.M. Method

AWAKEN

By sharing your kid’s coming out story, as well as identifying where you are in your own journey, we will begin to identify the specific tools you need and tailor the program to meet them.

  • Participate in a 90-minute, 1:1 intake with Rachel during which you’ll share important parts of your family’s story, identify your goals for the program, and thereby determine the plan for your journey.

  • Process the impact and meaning of your kid’s gender journey within the safety of our sessions in order to optimize your personal outcome.

  • Join a meaningful community of fellow parents through private and secure online forums that will reduce feelings of isolation and encourage collaboration. 

  • Clarify healthy boundaries by distinguishing between your child’s gender journey from your own process, and in doing so establish understanding and deepen empathic communication.

Here's what you'll get inside the AFFIRM program:

(1) 90-minute deep-dive, individual intake meeting with Rachel during the first month.

(2) 60-minute sessions per month with Rachel for

6 months.

Unlimited voice texts (using Loom) for questions and feedback in between sessions.

Tailored tasks and activities each month.

Access to an online community of fellow moms and dads in a private, invitation-only Facebook group.

Opportunity to learn and receive support from Rachel, a fellow parent with a decade of clinical experience.

[BONUS] Planner and Guide for your 6-month transformational journey

[BONUS] Exclusive access to my 1:1 interviews with 2 experts in child development and/or gender identity

[BONUS] Exclusive access to three first-hand accounts of former clients’ transformation journeys, including: their initial challenges, their turning points, their steps to change, and where they are now. *Please note, no names, locations or other identifying information will be shared.

Two different pricing plans are available, including a New Year Special for the launch of my 6-Step A.F.F.I.R.M. Program.

If you're ready to be your best parent self, I hope you'll join me in the new year for a journey that promises growth, support and community.
