WHY NOW

}

STUCK GETS MORE EXPENSIVE EVERY YEAR

Staying stuck becomes a cycle: anxiety fuels avoidance, avoidance slows momentum, and every month without progress makes taking action feel even harder.

For parents, that means another year of:

  • Managing an adult child’s schedule, emotions, and daily life

  • Walking on eggshells to avoid “setting them off”

  • Watching their confidence shrink while your own hope wears thin

And the cost isn’t only emotional.

Another year can also mean:

  • More therapy, coaching, or tuition without real movement

  • Ongoing living expenses and financial support

  • Delaying your own goals, savings, and next chapter

In the workshop, we’ll show you how to interrupt this cycle and help your young adult start building momentum toward independence, before another year looks exactly like the last.

A diagnosis can explain the struggle. It doesn’t have to define their future.

THE PLAN

}

WHAT YOU’LL LEAVE WITH

One hour on Zoom with us, live. Bring your questions and your co-parent. You’ll leave with:

1

What’s actually keeping your kid stuck

why diagnosis alone doesn’t explain why they’re not moving forward

2

Why holding them accountable isn’t working, and what to do instead

how to stop being the one responsible for keeping them moving

3

How momentum gets built when nothing sticks

Why weekly therapy alone often isn’t enough to create change in daily life

WHO’S TEACHING

WE BUILT THIS BECAUSE WE LIVED IT

Not Therapy co-founders Colin MacDonald and Hayley Caddes standing together on a tiled staircase

We’re Colin and Hayley, the co-founders of Not Therapy. We both spent our teen years in psych wards, wilderness, and residential treatment. Everyone had a diagnosis for us. What actually got us moving was having someone slightly ahead of us in our corner, so that’s the thing we built.

Our team of 10 coaches has all been through their own version of what your kid is going through. We work with young adults in their actual daily lives: daily texts, regular calls, real-world visits. After 60+ families, nothing you’re going through would surprise us.

HEAR FROM OUR CLIENTS

Theo

“Ever since working with Not Therapy, it helped me come back to the reality of being back in society after wilderness.”

Cooper and Wynee (Mother)

“As a parent, you’re often completely aware of the potential in your kid, but when they don’t know it, it’s devastating. There’s a new level of awareness and acceptance I’ve never seen in Cooper before. This is the first time I’ve seen glimpses that he might end up being excited about his life.”

Addie

“The biggest change has been with my social life, how comfortable I am with myself, and how that projects onto meeting other people.”

Kingston

“Working with my Not Therapy coach gave me more of a real-world learning experience instead of just being boxed up in a room and talking all day. My relationship with my mom is the best I’ve seen it in five or six years.”

Debi & Charlie (Parents of Uli)

“As a parent, after three years of feeling like, can I even believe what he’s saying, it starts coming over you that I totally trust this kid now. He was out last night for a really long time and I don’t even have to think about it. I know he’s going to make good decisions.”

Tagore

“Before Not Therapy, I had given up on improving my mental health through therapy and medication. After Not Therapy, I regained a lot of confidence. I can take charge. I can trust other people to help me.”

WHAT PARENTS SAY

}

“Since we started with Not Therapy, even my blood pressure has come down. As a parent, you are often completely aware of the potential in your kid, but when they don’t know it, it is devastating, and watching their coach help him finally see it changed everything.”

WYNEE, CHICAGO IL, PARENT OF 20 YEAR OLD

“The coach’s personal experience as a self admitted troubled teen is what we believe, allowed him to connect with our son in a way no other therapist or program has been able to do.”

RENEE, RENO NV, PARENT OF 18 YEAR OLD

“I was desperate to get help for my 29-year-old son. It was the best thing that ever happened. He is the first person in 29 years that helped us!!”

LAURA, MARIN CA, PARENT OF 21 YEAR OLD

“We felt that Michael was ready to go to college after working with Not Therapy.”

CHRISTINE, SUMMIT NJ, PARENT OF 19 YEAR OLD

“The coach was relatable and presented more like a big brother than a therapist.”

LINDA, BETHESDA MD, PARENT OF 22 YEAR OLD

WHO THIS IS FOR

}

YOU’LL GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS IF

You’ve handled everything in your life except this

Your kid is 18 to 29, bright and capable, maybe with ADHD, autism, or another diagnosis, and can’t seem to turn any of it into everyday independence

There’s treatment history: therapy, meds, maybe even a program. You gained insight, but the change hasn’t happened yet.

You’re ready to invest in serious support, and you’re open to changing what you do at home too

You want your kid to start owning their own life: work, school, money, relationships, and what comes next

If that’s your house, save your seat and bring your co-parent.
