As a certified family coach and experienced consultant, Family Mindset Institute offers tailored strategies and compassionate support to help families and troubled teens navigate challenges and foster lasting change.
Welcome to the Family Mindset Institute, founded by Mary Lou Falovitch with a profound vision to address the growing challenges faced by parents with teens in turmoil. Since our inception in 2019, our institute has become a pivotal resource for families seeking effective and lasting solutions.
At the Family Mindset Institute, we recognize that traditional talk therapies may not meet the needs of every family. That’s why our approach centers around the Total Family RESET® program, a step-by-step, solution-based system designed to transform family dynamics. This program focuses on implementing strategic, evidence-based interventions that foster enduring positive change rather than providing temporary fixes.
Our unique method stands out because it equips families with the tools and strategies needed for self-reliance, reducing dependence on external interventions. Our online format ensures families can conveniently access our services from home, seamlessly fitting into their daily lives without disruptive scheduling.
The core of our mission at the Family Mindset Institute is to empower parents with everything they need to avoid the heart-wrenching decision of sending their children away for help. We are committed to providing a pathway that strengthens family ties right from where they are most comfortable—at home.
Join us at the Family Mindset Institute, where we don’t just talk about problems—we solve them. Let us guide you through a transformative journey that ensures your family has the support, tools, and confidence to thrive together.
Teens aren't broken—they're navigating a world shaped by emotions, experiences, and beliefs that can create turmoil. At the Family Mindset Institute, we help uncover and heal the root causes behind those beliefs, so your teen can thrive. Our work isn’t about “fixing” teens but guiding them toward healthier mindsets and better choices.
Teens need leadership, not control. A strong, aligned parental partnership offers teens the guidance and consistency they need to feel secure and empowered. We work with parents to build a unified foundation so they can lead with purpose, creating a home where everyone feels valued and respected.
True transformation happens when families heal together. When parents and teens work through challenges side-by-side, relationships strengthen, trust is rebuilt, and unity emerges. Our program focuses on fostering connection and creating a cohesive family dynamic where each member grows and thrives together.
Real change comes when families follow the right steps. Healing personal pain first, aligning parents in leadership, and then building family skills together—this specific sequence is essential. The Family Mindset Institute provides a step-by-step roadmap to ensure your family doesn’t just survive challenges but thrives through them.
Hello, I'm Mary Lou Falovitch. Let me share a bit about my personal and professional journey, which is deeply intertwined with the mission I carry out today. Over two decades ago, I was just like many of the parents I now help—struggling with significant family challenges. My own experiences led me to seek solutions that create lasting change, not only within my family but for others facing similar difficulties.
I am a Certified Family Coach and Certified Relationship Coach, credentials I earned after being guided by experts who helped my family during our most challenging times. Further deepening my expertise, I hold advanced certifications as a Board Designated Trainer of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Time Line Therapy®, and Hypnosis. I am also a Certified Rapid Transformational Therapy Practitioner. These qualifications are more than just titles; they represent effective tools and strategies I have mastered, which have been proven to foster measurable and enduring change.
Driven by a passion to help families heal and transform, I developed the Total Family RESET® program, a comprehensive system designed specifically to address and improve family dynamics. My mission is clear: to ensure no parent feels compelled to make the heart-wrenching decision to send their child away for help.
Everything I do, from founding the Family Mindset Institute to creating transformative programs, is driven by a commitment to providing families with the support and tools they need to thrive. Having once stood at the crossroads of despair myself, I am dedicated to guiding other families through their storms, offering empathy, expertise, and a path to the peace and harmony they deserve—all from the comfort and safety of their own homes.
As a certified family coach, our mission at Family Mindset Institute, is to empower families by providing expert guidance and support. We are dedicated to fostering healthy relationships, navigating challenges, and creating lasting change, ensuring every family has the tools and resources needed to thrive.
