"Your kid melts down and you don't know what to do."
↑ If that sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
Your kid isn't broken. They're just running a different operating system.
This isn't traditional therapy.
No waitlist. No 50-minute-once-a-month check-ins. No advice that only works in an office.
I come to your home. I sit in your IEP meetings. I answer your messages when things fall apart on a Tuesday night.
This is what actual support looks like.

"Your kid isn't broken. The system just wasn't built for them."
If you're nodding at any of these, you're exactly who AltHumanOS was built for. You're not failing — you just need a different kind of support.
You've been told your kid is 'too much' more times than you can count
You've tried every strategy and nothing seems to stick for more than a week
You're managing your kid's emotions while running on empty yourself
The meltdowns are getting worse and you don't know what's triggering them
You've been waiting months for a therapy opening that never comes
You love your kid fiercely — and you're exhausted by them at the same time
You're not imagining it. The research backs this up:
"Getting help for a child's ADHD can improve stress related to parenting — even if the treatment does not involve parents or directly target parenting stress."
Most parents come in thinking their kid is the problem.
They leave understanding their kid for the first time.
Start with a one-time intensive to solve a specific problem — or jump straight into ongoing clinical support. Both start with a free consult.
A focused half-day or full-day session. You come in with a specific problem. You leave with a written plan.
Three tiers of licensed clinical therapy. Real, ongoing support built around your family's life.

You're not looking for someone to tell you your kid is "fine." You're looking for someone who gets it — the exhaustion, the school emails, the meltdowns before dinner, the guilt that shows up after bedtime. I'm Alisha — Licensed Clinical Social Worker, mom, and the person parents call when they're done trying to make traditional approaches work.
I specialize in ADHD and neurodivergent kids, and here's what I know after years in this work: your child's behavior isn't the problem. It's information. When we figure out what their brain actually needs, and build the structures around that, things shift. Not overnight, but for real.
I built AltHumanOS because the traditional therapy model wasn't working for the families I care about most. A 50-minute session once a month isn't support — it's a check-in. You need a partner who's actually in it with you.
My dog is a regular presence in sessions. Research shows animal-assisted interactions reduce anxiety and help kids (and parents) feel safer opening up.
Every strategy is designed around how ADHD brains actually work — not how we wish they worked.
I come to your home, your school, your real life. Behavior in an office is not behavior at home.
You don't have to wait a month to ask a question. Messaging access means support when you need it.
When your kid's system works better, your family breathes easier. We work on both.

— Alisha Olson, LCSW
Here's exactly what happens from your first contact to the moment your clinical support begins. Four steps. No surprises.
No forms. No intake paperwork. Just a real conversation to figure out if we're a good fit. You tell me what's going on. I'll tell you honestly whether I think I can help and which tier makes sense for your family.
A full 50-minute clinical intake session. This is where we go deep — your family's history, your kid's patterns, what you've already tried, what's working, what isn't. This session is required before starting any tier.
Based on our intake conversation, I'll give you a clear recommendation for which tier fits your family's needs and goals. You're never locked in — you can adjust your tier as things change.
Your care tier activates. You get immediate access to everything included in your tier — workshops, clinical sessions, messaging, resources. We get to work.
No corporate-speak. No vague non-answers. Just straight talk about how this works and whether it's right for your family.
Book a free 20-minute consult and ask me directly.

Book a free 20-minute consult. We'll talk about your family, your kid, and whether AltHumanOS is the right fit. No commitment. No judgment. Just a real conversation.
