Welcome to TherapyWise!

Hi, I’m Kristy Kolev, a licensed mental health counselor, mom, and teen expert with more than a decade of experience helping families navigate the ups and downs of adolescence.

If you’re here, you might feel tired of the constant pushback, emotional outbursts, and walking on eggshells. You’ve read the articles, tried to stay calm, and yet it still feels like you’re stuck in a cycle of frustration and guilt.

You’re not alone, and you’re not failing. Parenting an emotionally sensitive teen simply requires a different kind of toolkit. One that blends mindfulness, validation, and structure.

That’s why I created The Wise Parent Method, a step-by-step program that helps you stay grounded, set healthy boundaries, and strengthen your connection with your teen even in the toughest moments.

Mindful parenting for real life. No perfection required.
