Five stories from the practice.

Example 01 / 05

Navigating transitions into therapeutic support

When a young person is struggling with mental health, neurodivergence, behavior, or school engagement, families are sometimes faced with difficult transitions — entering a therapeutic program, changing schools, or seeking a new level of support. I work alongside parents and young people to help these transitions unfold with greater care, clarity, and dignity. This often involves helping families navigate key decisions, offering guidance during moments of uncertainty, and supporting the inevitable pivots that arise along the way.

About

Portrait of Lian Zeitz, founder of Love Praxis.

I have lived through this in my own family, and spent my life walking alongside young people and those who love them.

I'm Lian Zeitz. I support families through youth mental health, neurodivergence, treatment decisions, and hard transitions. My work is grounded in what my own family lived through, my work as an education consultant supporting families across the USA, time as a chaplain on an adolescent psychiatric unit, and 10 years helping build youth mental health systems around the world.

The Love Praxis Approach

There is no single method, diagnosis, or roadmap that fully explains a young person or a family.

My role isn't to fit your family into a predetermined approach. I work with you to understand the whole picture and draw from what will actually be most supportive for your family.

Testimonials

"When we couldn't see a way through, Lian sat with us and helped us hold it. He didn't push us toward a program or an answer — he helped us hear ourselves, and we finally found the right path for our son."
