Building Child-Centered Care, One Block at a Time

Himlin Consulting is “Child-Centered.” Everything starts with understanding the kiddos to foster and develop long-standing relationships for parents, therapists and attorneys who are tangled in high-conflict custody disputes.

Children deserve to have a healthy relationship with both parents.

The parent-child relationship is special. We understand that personally and professionally, with 30 years of on-the-job training. What children want most is healthy relationships with both parents. No matter what the challenges or blocks are. And that's where we come in.

Our Purpose

When a parent hasn’t heard their child’s voice in years, it shatters them. Many are ready to give up—until they find us. With the right support and our Child-Centered Approach, reconnection begins. Bonds rebuild. Healing starts. This is why we exist. Because when families reunite, children thrive.

Our Founder

For over 30 years, founder, Cathy Himlin, LMFT, LPCC, has been driven to put children first—especially when the system doesn’t. Using a Child-Centered Approach, Cathy has helped parents rebuild lasting bonds, even in the most difficult cases. For rejected parents, therapists, and attorneys, this is the way forward.

Our methods at Himlin Consulting are designed for parents who long to reconnect with their children and rebuild trust, even after prolonged silence or resistance. Our services are also for therapists and attorneys who are committed to healing fractured family relationships. Himlin Consulting is about what is possible. With the right tools and guidance, reunification is possible. Which does wonders for a child’s well-being. Whether you're navigating emotional distance, court involvement, or high-conflict dynamics, we offer a compassionate, structured approach to bring families back together.

FOR PARENTS

Has your child rejected you? We help rejected parents like you reconnect with your kids. And build healthy, positive relationships that last.

+ Reconnecting with Your Child

Struggling with a child who avoids contact? Our private sessions and 8-hour online class offers practical, personalized tools to rebuild trust and strengthen your bond.

FOR THERAPISTS

As a dedicated therapist who values ethics, confidentiality, and client autonomy, you likely didn’t enter this field to testify in court—but the reality is, a subpoena can arise at any point in your career, and handling it improperly can carry serious consequences.

+ Testify with Confidence

Testifying in court can be overwhelming. Our courses and training gives you the confidence and clarity to navigate it ethically while protecting your practice and client relationships.

FOR ATTORNEYS

Custody and dependency cases are emotionally complex, and as an attorney, it can be challenging to navigate the dynamics while effectively advocating for your clients, and putting the children first. 

+ Training & Consultations

High-conflict cases need a thoughtful approach. Our one-on-one or group consultations help attorneys understand clients' emotions and guide child-focused strategies that reduce conflict and encourage cooperation.​
