If You're Here, You've Already Tried Everything
The books. The blogs. The advice from everyone who doesn't live in your house. You don't need more opinions — you need parenting tools that actually work for your family. That's exactly what I do.
This Isn't About Being a Better Parent
You're already doing more than you realize. Together, we identify what's working, uncover the root causes beneath your family's challenges, and build clear, grounded strategies for your family as it is — not as others think it should be.
No Judgment. I Mean It.
I'm a parent too. Some days I nail it. Other days, not even close. I'm not here to tell you what you're doing wrong. I'm here to help you figure out what works when things feel impossible.
Programs That Are Proven — Adapted to You
Incredible Years and Triple P have decades of research. But I don't hand you a manual. We take what works from these programs and make it fit your kids, your home, your life.
From Parents and Colleagues
You're not alone in this.
I feel I have a new lease on life since working with you to improve my son's behavior. [...] I consider myself lucky to have had your help, Alexis.
TB, parent
It was a pleasure taking your class last night [...] your analogy of "how many of you strive to be perfect parents" and then "how many of you are" was spot on and left an impression.
JK, workshop attendee
I highly recommend Alexis Davis as a source of practical and tangible support whether tackling a child-rearing issue or another family-related challenge. Her training and experience, together with her innately dependable nature, make her a phenomenal thought partner and resource.

Questions parents ask first
Straight answers, before you spend a minute on a call.
- What is parenting consultation, and how is it different from therapy?
- Parenting consultation coaches the parent, not the child. Instead of putting your child in treatment, we work on what you do at home — the routines, responses, and language that shape behavior. It is practical and time-limited: you leave with strategies you can use that evening. It is not psychotherapy, and it is not a diagnosis.
- Who is Alexis Davis?
- Alexis Hinchey Davis is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW #113150, Massachusetts) with a Master of Social Work from Boston College. For over 15 years she guided pediatricians on children's emotional and behavioral challenges through the Massachusetts Child Psychiatry Access Project at Tufts Medical Center, where she was trained in the Incredible Years and Triple P programs that anchor her consulting practice.
- What approaches do you use?
- Two evidence-based parenting curricula with decades of research behind them: the Incredible Years and Triple P (Positive Parenting Program). Rather than handing you a manual, sessions adapt what works in those programs to your children, your household, and your constraints.
- How much does it cost, and is there a free option?
- The first step is a free 15-minute consultation with no cost and no obligation — tell me what's going on, and I'll tell you how I can help. Ongoing coaching is a paid service; rates are discussed on that first call.
- Do you work with families outside Massachusetts?
- Parenting consultation is coaching rather than clinical treatment, so it is available more broadly than licensed therapy, and sessions are held by video. Clinical services requiring a Massachusetts license are limited to Massachusetts. If you are unsure which you need, ask on the free call.
- My child is having tantrums and nothing works. Can this help?
- That is the most common reason parents call. Repeated tantrums, refusal, or defiance usually have a pattern underneath them — a trigger, a routine, or a response loop that is quietly reinforcing the behavior. Consultation identifies that pattern and replaces it with a specific plan you can run consistently, which is what actually changes behavior.The full answer: tantrums that nothing stops
- What ages do you work with?
- Families with young children through adolescence. The Incredible Years and Triple P frameworks both scale across ages; the strategies change with the developmental stage, but the underlying method — clear expectations, consistent responses, connection first — does not.
- How do I get started?
- Book the free 15-minute call. Tell me what's going on, and I'll tell you how I can help. The strategies come in the sessions, built for your family.
You Don't Have to Figure This Out Alone
