Empower Your Family Today
When traditional co-parenting isn't working--or isn't possible
As a Family Transition Consultant, I help the parent who's willing to do the work develop strategies that actually protect the family​.
​
I work with you, not your ex. Because you can only control what you do—but what you do makes all the difference.

About Me
My name is Deena Herndon-Tootle, JD
I'm located in the Texas hill country (Boerne). I’m an attorney licensed in Texas, a professional mediator, a parenting coordinator, a parent, and a stepparent. I also have a degree in psychology and believe in supporting the whole family's emotional health through change and stability. Combining my professional expertise with more than twenty years of personal experience navigating complex family dynamics, I understand parenting challenges from multiple perspectives.
​
Here’s what I’ve have learned: We can't change other people, but we can change ourselves—and that changes everything for our kids.
My Consulting Services
This isn't legal advice or therapy, and I don’t replace your attorney or therapist. As a Family Transition Consultant, my consulting services bridge both worlds to give you practical solutions that work alongside your other professionals while helping you navigate complex family dynamics and court systems that weren’t designed to protect what matters most to you.
If you're tired of spinning your wheels with the same unsuccessful results while your children watch the chaos, let's create a different path forward—one that doesn't depend on the other parent changing or the courts trying to solve all your problems.
You and your children and your situation are unique--let's build a transition plan that protects what matters most to your family
You deserve clarity in the chaos, and your children deserve stability through the storm
What I offer:
Clear guidance through complex family transitions
What I Offer
I help parents develop strategies when traditional co-parenting approaches aren't working. This means looking at both the practical realities of your situation and the inner work that makes sustainable change possible.
Before effective boundaries can be established or sound decisions can be made on behalf of your children, it is essential to understand yourself—your values, your needs, and the practices that sustain your well-being.
I combine strategy with self-awareness to empower you to make healthy choices—because the best parenting plan in the world won't work if you're running on empty or making decisions from unhealed wounds. My goal is to help you become an effective advocate for yourself and your children. I give you the tools, understanding, and strategic thinking you need to speak up for what matters most.
If you're willing to look honestly at your situation and take steps forward, even small ones, you're in the right place.
