Dr. Threats is passionate and thorough about her work. She is very professional and respectful of the clients privacy. Her experience guides her to ask the right questions; and with participation from the client she is able to help them.
My ex and I were court ordered to Dr. Threats program. I was a willing participant but I was surprised to find myself looking forward to the class and excited to share with others what I heard or learned that day. The classes gave me fuel to go and grow during the week.Ive met with other mental wellness professionals who are very good but Dr. Threats by far is the best. Her presence is warm and welcoming. She is firm but kind, transparent in her delivery, and effectively usher parents to accountability. Because of her flexibility, I was able to continue with the program despite circumstances beyond my control that could have prevented me from continuing.I recommended Dr. Threats to a family member who recently had a child. I feel that a modified version of the program or one-on-one counseling would be excellent for parents before conflict arise. Knowledge gained in advance can prevent parents resorting to courts as the solution. It gives insight to the court system and the negative psychological impact on the child. The program is definitely an opportunity for a person to grow as an individual, parent, blended family, and respectful coparent. The tools obtained are useful in other aspects of my life. I appreciate Dr. Threats intervention and I know our child is better off because of it. I see a weight has been lifted from her as well.
I recently had the privilege of attending co-parenting class with Dr. Linda Threats. Dr. Threats is not only very knowledgeable but a great listener and teacher.Dr. Threats helped immeasurably during the single most tumultuous time in my life. I am eternally grateful for the tools and knowledge I received from Dr. Threats. I wish I had found her sooner... thank you Dr. Threats
Highly recommend! My wife and I recently attended co-parenting classes with Dr. Threats as a part of a divorce proceeding. When the classes began you could sense that most of the families there were in similar situations and, like me, were focused almost entirely on the other parent.The first significant moment for me came a week or two into the classes when we were talking about the psychology of divorce and parental conflict and its effect on children. Some of the information was expected but much of it wasnt. Dr. Threats would use examples of common everyday parental behaviors, much of what Id previously thought was harmless or even well intended, and explain how it could be hurtfully perceived and received by my children. I was surprised to learn just how much influence my behavior had or could have on my children and how it affected their development and even their future relationships. It was eye opening because the examples were often exact scenarios from my home.In her pleasant but direct way, Dr. Threats was able to help me to redirect my focus. She helped me understand that unless I provided a different example, my children would/could model my behavior and mistakes in their own lives. No parent wants this for their children.Enrolling in this class and meeting Dr. Threats has changed my outlook and has definitely helped me become a better parent and partner.
Nothing came out of mediation with my child’s father except Dr Threats program. As I was apprehensive at first, that quickly changed as each week came, and I found myself becoming more self aware, and learning and growing through what I thought I had already knew. Dr Threats will expect you to participate, she is direct but relatable, and her presence is warm and welcoming. I would definitely recommend Dr. Threats to anyone who shares co parenting responsibilities or wanting to grow and become more self aware as an individual. Dr Threats gives intuitive understanding of how parents behaviors and the court system both can cause measured effects on children. She educates and promotes parents to collaborate accordingly with each other on a plan opposed to giving the courts that responsibility. I have been able to take what I learned in her program and apply it to multiple areas of my life, and am extremely grateful I got the opportunity to be apart of her program to gain the necessary knowledge and understanding that will set our child up for success. Thank you Dr Threats!
Dr. Threats did wonders for my own peace of mind and well being. I’ve spend years in court and after lots of money spent had the same outcome. Continually stressed, chronic back pain.. you name it...I had it. I won’t lie and tell you I was not dreading having to go to this class cause I was. I won’t also lie and say it didn’t take me a good 6 or 7 classes in to understand what in the world I was truly learning from this but WOW.. when I finally took down that stubborn wall I had built up, it was a true blessing. I believe everything happens for a reason, and I thank God for this reason. Dr Threats teaches reflection of yourself.. the only one you can change. Her teachings help you grow within yourself to see how your own behaviors reflect on your children in such a negative way and will continue until you change yourself. The group setting allows you to be with others and hear some of what they feel, argue over, and to see problems from different households and the children in those homes going through what your own child goes through in your own homes. To see your hand play out the hurt reflected onto your own. I wish I had learn a lot sooner than now. I highly recommend this class to anyone going through a divorce, already divorced or better yet, not even divorced.Your children are worth it!!I will take everything Dr. Threats has taught me in this class moving forward in my relationship with my ex, my children and everyday communication with others as well. I take my child’s happiness with both parents love from two separate households to help her grow into a beautiful healthy happy adult knowing she’s loved by so many people in her life. That’s peace!!I will NEVER let anyone steal my peace!Thank you Dr Threats ❤️
I went into Dr. Threats co parenting class unsure how she was going to help my co parenting situation. What I learned over the 12 sessions has changed my life not only in how co parenting, but how I parent my children as well. I will go so far to say that is has change the way I communicate with everyone in my life and that in turn has had a dramatic effect on my happiness. I would highly recommend this class to any and every parent out there. Whether you are divorced or not her teaching apply to everyone.
Dr. Threats has been a wonderful person to our family. She has helped both me and my ex and I to come to a healthy and successful co-parenting relationship.We have seen her for parenting facilitator services and we, also, took her 12 week co-parenting class.The core of her class is based a magical statement: “What you think, what you feel and what you do, If you don’t change what you think, you won’t change what you feel and you don’t change what you do”.You are ready to make change to your life for better life and relief from what you suffer I strongly recommend to take this case.I have learned so much from her and I owe my peace of mind and our happy children to her guidance.
Dr Threat completely changed my life, and the trajectory of my family. Through her co-parenting class, i was able to address some deep rooted issues with my child’s mother. We worked through it and have already grown leaps and bounds! Highly recommend!
Dr. Threats has a mission in life. She is a steward of the children whose broken parents enter her existence. She is truly a compassionate, kind, transparent individual who feels and knows that children are the priority. What you think, is what you feel, is what you do. Let those words sink in and think of your child(ren) as you do. Thank you, Dr. Threats; my life has been blessed with your presence and knowledge. May you continue to bless others.
Im so grateful for Dr. Threats knowledge and how much I could take away from her classes and apply in my daily experience with my children. She is a wonderful person and a all round wonderful human being.
I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Threats. She is very professional, sound of mind, and an overall inspiration. She has helped my ex-husband and I come great strides to get to a healthy co-parent relationship. I am so grateful for all that she has done for my family and grateful to have her guidance for years to come.
Dr. Threats is obviously very smart, and I think she would be good if she needed to referee a fight. In my case she did not help at all and did not seem to be objective. Her manner was condescending, and seemed biased against me from the start (I am still reflecting on why). She started the session by belittling a comment of mine in the first 5 minutes, and although I thought the session was about co-parenting, she hardly spoke to my ex-wife at all. She could tell that I was not feeling safe, but made no adjustment in her style that I could tell.Honestly, it was probably the worst counseling/co-parenting session I have ever been a part of. She did not take the time to get to know me and did not put me at ease at any point. As a result no discernible progress was made. I left not only not wanting to see her again, but not wanting to go to counseling again.
I completed Dr. Threats Conflict Resolution- Parallel Parenting Group class this week. Dr. Threats is a great teacher, the information she shared with the class was informative and thought provoking. This class will help me be a better co-parent and to be all I can for my child. I really like that Dr. Threats is very straight forward person and she tell you things that you need to hear for the overall physical and mental stability of the child(ern) and the parent(s). Thanks, you Dr. Threats for the information that you shared to assisted me in being better co parent and how to resolve conflicts with the other parent.
She was hired to perform as a facilitator (umpire) for our parenting. Spent $600 (4 hrs) and she still would not ask spouse to provide dental card required by state of Texas for children under age of 18. wanted me to schedule another appointment?? Milking her court referred cases for as many visits as possible.
My ex-wife and I officially divorced four years ago. As divorces typically go, it was not amicable at all. In the beginning, my attorney predicted that the drama would subside eventually; however, the passing of time has had no positive effect on how we resolved the conflict that ultimately arises when raising children. During the years, we both spent an excessive amount of money on attorneys to no avail, money that could instead have benefited our child. Going back to court time and time again did not help us at all; the court system only pushed us further and further apart, and co-parenting was non-existent throughout this time. During yet another mediation in which I tried to get us to co-parent, I learned about the 12-week Conflict Resolution and Parallel Parenting Program offered by Dr. Linda Rollins-Threats. I pushed for us to enroll in this program but could not reach an agreement to enter into the program. Eventually, we went to court again, and I managed to ask the judge to order us to attend this program.We recently completed the program, and I am writing this review in the hopes that someone else sees this review early on in a divorce with children. If you sincerely care about your children, my suggestion would be that you do all you can to enter this program. Go into this program with an open mind and with confidence that you will come out on the other end as a different person. Dr. Threats cant change you or your ex, but she will help you with adopting the tools that, if implemented, could improve the situation for the better for your children and you. I highly recommend this program. Going to court to solve co-parenting issues does not work and is way more expensive. Dr. Threats is the only person I could find in all of DFW that could get me and my ex talking to each other again. I wholeheartedly recommend this program! Give it a shot; it is your best bet, and your children will benefit from this.By the way, Dr. Threats could also stay on as a Parenting Facilitator after this 12-week program to help with any remaining issues. I am about to embark on the Parenting Facilitation journey with Dr. Threats and my ex, and I can already tell that this will be way more productive than the other Parenting Facilitator we had.
I recently completed Dr. Threats co-parenting class. The class was full of useful information and good reminders of putting the childs needs above any issues the parents may have. Dr. Treats has a direct yet agreeable presentation style. Throughout the class she demonstrated her love what she does and a genuine desire to help you make the changes needed to benefit your child and your family.Take the class and put into practice what you learn, you will be glad you did.
Dr. Threats is an amazing therapist/doctor. If you are struggling to coparent this will definitely help you out. I honestly think it should be mandatory. And it’s worth every penny. She focuses on the kids well being but in reality, in my opinion, she’s actually working on changing your mindset so can be a better person. Because once your better person, you can improve on the way you raise your kids.
It took me a while to get it but the lessons finally sunk in. Dr. Threats knows her stuff, a lot of it you will probably already know but she has a unique way of conveying the message. Shes there to help, not assign blame.Highly recommend her. The wife and I plan to visit as maintenance.
The parenting / conflict resolution classes were the best thing I ever did, even though the other parent did not attend. If you are ready for a good honest look about what is happening and how it affects your child you will be in the right place. If you want to find a way to do the best you can for everyone involved you are in the right place. Highly Recommended
I came to Dr. Threats originally as part of a court order. Who knew I would end up realizing how lucky I was to have been part of her class. Dr. Threats truly cares for all of her participants and makes a tremendous effort to tend to every individuals unique needs in the class. I appreciate all her feedback and insights. Frankly, I contribute the positive turn in my relationship to her. Shes really helped us learn how to communicate and focus on what is important - our children. Thank you for all your help Dr!!!!
Parenting facilitation and co-parenting classes were amazing. Shes knowledgeable and insightful and can turn the most adverse situations around if you are willing to bring an open mind and heart to the table. If you are committed to moving past the discord and creating unity for your child(ren) she is an amazing therapist and can help everyone heal and move forward.
Dr. Threats is the best in her profession. She caring, honest,objective and she will tell you her honest and professional opinion. Dont try and fool her because shell make you transparent. Shes really good at her profession.
Dr. Linda Threats is one of the most amazing and gifted psychologist Ive ever met. She is an absolute game changer. I have referred several friends and family members to her over the past 20 years and we all say the same thing... She is Amazing!Dr. Threats is a blessing to my life and she can help you more than you can imagine.
I have been divorced for 6 years now and my ex and I have had issues with each other where it affected our son. We went through a mediation where it was recommended to attend a parenting facilitation class with Dr. Threats. Hence to say I was a little skeptical and felt there really wasn’t any hope. My ex and I both attended the class with Dr. Threats and the results were absolutely amazing. Dr. Threats cares so much about each individual participant in her class and takes extra time to make sure that things are the right way. My relationship with my ex is completely different now and I give all credit to Dr. Threats and would recommend her to anyone.
I really would like to thank Dr. Threats for her help. To me, she truly has cared enough to create a non-bias, parent platform for parents to take a look at self. If you are lucky to have to see her personally or by court order, I can tell you she knows what she is doing. Allowing ones-self to open up towards what she is teaching will only be a benefit towards you! Thanks Dr. Threats for what you have done for me!
Dr. Linda Rollins-Threats offers a 12 week group class for high-conflict parents titled, Conflict Resolution - Parallel Parenting Group. For some, this is a last resort for parents unable to effectively co-parent their children. High Conflict parents get caught up in their own hurt feelings, perceptions, issues and anger, that they are unable to see what its doing to the children. Dr. Threats brings a practical understanding to parents in such a way that she positively impacts how parents interact with one another. The end result in my own personal experience is a 10 year old son who no longer becomes nervous at the idea of his parents being in the same vicinity, being caught in the middle, trying to shoulder and fix problems that he didnt create; didnt ask for. Our son is happier and we are better co-parents for having attended Dr. Threats class. Its work, its not easy, but its all worth it. This class should not be a last-resort. Instead, it should be a mandatory PROACTIVE class for any divorcing parents to safeguard the family unit. A class like this would go a long way for parents before they get caught up in years of legal disputes, therapy, disdain, etc.; leaving in its wake, lost and damaged children. One thing not to be mistaken, Dr. Threats is very thorough, keenly aware of matters without having to know all of the details; she is spot-on and is truly the best in her field. Dr. Threats brought change to our family when so many had given up. Thank You Dr. Threats for helping us to focus on what is important and giving us the tools we will need as we continue our lifelong journey. You are truly an amazing lady!
Completing the Conflict resolution class by Dr Linda Threats, was very inspiring for my family. Dr Threats has a way to connect with you and your situation to make you feel comfortable.
This genuine and precious woman is filled with wisdom and knowledge. She truly cares about people...children and families.I learned about Love and Logic and took the class due to her recommendation. Consider reading the book, or LISD gives the class twice a year for free. It’s wonderful!I love to learn things to better myself as a person. I truly enjoyed listening to Dr. Threats share helpful stories and information that she has gathered for years.I loved her dearly and her assistant Kayla was also very helpful and genuine.I wish every parent could afford these very beneficial classes.
She is an amazingly gifted listener! She always puts the children first - which is wonderful. Dr. Threats tells it like it is, but with a sense of humanity that is sometimes lacking in this profession. Thank you for giving me tools to become a better human.
Dr. Threats is as real as it gets! I too was in her 12 week program for co-parents and she is phenomenal at what she does... She is not the typical drag it out, let me take this case for the money Dr. She applies herself on a deeper level and as a Professional she cannot personally gain relationships with her clients as that would be unethical... so please be honest when you write your reviews. Her job is to help you gain an understanding of your situation and help you gain the tools to co-parent better for your children. Her job is NOT to be our friend and tell us what we want to hear... trust me I shed many tears in her presence as she read me and told me what I NEEDED to hear. My marriage is solid because of her and although we are not perfect, we communicate better and we owe that to Dr. Threats. I understand feedback is hard to accept, especially when it is not what you want to hear but feedback is meant to help you grow not personally beat you down. Not to mention 90% of the folks in that class are mandated by court so please do not blame Dr. Threats for you being there... she did not make that ruling and she tells most of the clients from day one that she is not cheap so learn what you can to avoid coming back paying the fees. If you get over the fee and pay attention to what is being discussed you may actually realize the Dr. is not the problem, its you. Also I have NEVER seen her daughter write anything in reference to her moms profession nor has Dr. Threats ever had her in the class so lets please remain from slandering people out of anger. She is still human and the same way you wouldnt want anyone speaking negatively about your children, I am sure Dr. Threats would appreciate the same respect.Sometimes we have to step outside of ourselves and realize that we are our own worst enemies. No human being on the planet should ever be able to alter your emotions this much. God Bless and I Wish you all the best of luck.
Dr Threats gave me insight into the importance of birth order and my upbringing that years and years of counseling had never taught me. I was able to take a real look at family from early childhood, and deal with issues that have had such an impact on the woman I have become today. I learned through Dr. Threats that only I am responsible for my happiness and unhappiness. I was able to stop placing so much blame on my ex husband, freeing myself to be more happy. You must come with an open mind and a willingness to change. If youre there to blame your ex, its going to be a long 12 weeks! Shes very good at what she does, I strongly suggest you listen.
Dr. Threats is an amazing teacher and consider yourself lucky if you get the opportunity to take her co-parenting class. You can learn a lot from her if you open up and allow yourself to.
Dr. Linda Threats has been a tremendous help in my difficult situation. She has been patient, caring and resourceful! I would highly recommend Dr. Threats as she is truly a blessing:) Thank you Dr. Threats!
I have to admit, a 12week program is not what I was interested in at all in the beginning. However as time and class went by, I found out that this is exactly what my family need to go through to bring us closer. My wife and I really would and already have recommended this class to a lot of our friends, co-workers, as well associates. Dr Threats doesnt sugar coat anything at all and tells the truth all the time. I literally went into the class as a grown boy, and left a better man than when I entered. She understood the problems, and frustrations that I as person was dealing with. She reminded me that its not about me, my wife, nor my childs mother, but its all about the child. Sometimes we get mad at the truth especially when others see it and we deny it, but if you are really looking to prove your parenthood as an adult, I would definitely recommend without any doubt.
Dr. Threats tells it like it is. She challenges you to look at yourself and doesnt allow you to use the past as an excuse for present behaviors. Some people dont like her direct style but she leaves little room for misunderstandings (because she is direct and succinct). She is very focused and the only people who dont like her are the ones who are not willing to take an honest look at themselves and/or be willing to step up and discuss mistakes and how not to repeat past patterns.
Hello all,Dr.Threats is the best in this field. I just finished my last session with her on 8/27/13. I am currently not seeing my son again, but the lessons learned in her class has made me see that I still need to do the right thing and continue to parent every day. I encourage all of those ordered to see Dr. Threats to open your minds, think about your children. If you truly love them you will benefit from her teachings. She is goining to help you understand your disputes, court order and any other life issues, by showing you whats truly important. Please remember Im not even seeing my child. Its been a month due to missed exchanges on my co parents end, but when I see my son I will let him know I love him. I am also able to show him some that love. This is what Dr.Linda Threats does. Its not easy, but parenting never is.
Dr. Threats does a fantastic job of connecting with her students. She helped me and my family put our past behind us and move forward as co-parents.
This is a LONG ONE. However, my hope is to keep all parents informed and have the research to back if they ever need it. ***********DAINA BURKE (maiden name THREATS), appears to be THE DAUGHTER of LINDA THREATS, who wrote a belittling review CALLING PARENTS DEADBEATS. She also seems to have been the same Daina Burke on Facebook and Daina on yellow pages to have written positive business reviews about her mother (Linda Threats) practice. A family member writing a positive reviews for LINDA THREATS, is to me misleading and NOT a VALID business review. I hope one wouldnt be seeing their own mother for therapy sessions, and then be writing a review on here? - Seriously. To me, it is even more unprofessional, and ignorant to belittle or knock down parent reviews on here. - Just because you are taking all the negative reviews personal, being the daughter of Linda Threats. Writing reviews for her, doesnt look legitimate or to anyone else for her therapy practice.To DAINA BURKE THREATS: How could you be in my class as you implied, if you are the daughter of Linda Threats? That is blatantly a lie. You clearly were not. Does your mother Linda Threats share confidential case information with you on the parents that attend her classes or sessions? I would hope not. So how do you know about me as you are insinuating? Clearly that was another lie or a breech of confidential info? Which one is it? Because you were definitely not in my class, to know anyones opinions or what they can attest to. Also, why did you have to do research as you are claiming in your review on Linda Threats, when she is your mother? The other terrible reviews from parents dated all the way back to 2010 on yellow pages that I read, I guess are all incorrect in your eyes on Linda Threats too right? Do you feel better now for calling parents Trolls and Deadbeats on yellow pages and Google for your mom (Linda Threats) to defend her? Name calling is quite childish. Maybe you should consider attending therapy sessions, or is that also beneath you to do? As a grown adult, if you have not figured this out yet, then you have been raised wrong. However, I cant blame you for why you talk to people the way you do and name calling parents, who have had terrible experiences with your mother Linda Threats. Clearly, you have been raised that way, and think that its acceptable and normal. Its not. Its official: To me, both Linda and you need therapy sessions as well as applied behavioral therapy, to learn how to control your mouths and learn empathy. Also both of you, should consider a class in learning the value of honesty, with the shady review that you just posted. The very best thing that I did for our son is not listen to Linda, and all parents would agree with that. Its a blessing that I went with my gut, and I reccomend to all other parents that they do the same for their children. Go with your gut and stay strong for your kids. Settlements only work when safety is not a concern.
The worst ever. Lied in court while under oath. I believe she is against fathers that are trying to gain custody of sons. My son, who is a older teen wanted to come live with his father. She stood and said that it was not a good idea. Now who makes it hard for fathers that is trying see their kids. She makes appointments that you dont know about and expect you to pay for it. Stay away from here. Nothing wrong with sons wanting to live with their fathers. Its normal for son to asked that question. Expecially if the mother is about to marry the man she cheated with. Im not a criminal, dont do drugs never had, I have my own biz, plus I have a medical degree. Me and the mother are great parents. Son just decided he wants to hang with dad. Had a court order to call her for an appointment. Her voice mail stated she will call you in 24 hours. Never heard back.
