About Us

Welcome to Joyful Families, Inc.!

Our mission is to support parents in healing themselves; improving their communication and connection with their children, and transforming generational patterns to come.

Our Values and Philosophy

  • Healing is always possible.

  • When we heal ourselves we create a ripple effect that serves, affects, and creates change for all those around us.

  • We are always moving towards health. 

  • Children are not problems. We must do our own work as parents to understand them and see beneath their behaviors.

  • The greatest gift you can give to yourself and everyone around you is the dedication to your own personal growth and development.

  • Perfection is never the goal. 

  • We are here to be of service and to support you in creating the proper conditions for health and healing.

We believe that even if your children are having behavioral issues and challenges, a way to greatly improve these dynamics is through parents doing their own personal work.

We will support you, the parents, in understanding and identifying what is happening and contributing to your family system not functioning in the way that is most optimal for all to thrive.

We will support you in doing the work necessary to not only heal and improve your own life but in turn also heal and improve the lives of each of your family members.

After an initial consultation, we will develop a uniquely personalized healing plan for you to create the change that you are wanting in your life.

Individual, Couples, and Parent Coach, Certified Emotion Code Practitioner, Certified Quantum Healer Practitioner, Early Childhood Development Specialist, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Trained

I have been a Psychotherapist and Parent Coach for over a decade. Through the years of supporting individuals, couples and families, I have continued my quest and education; learning new tools and techniques to be of the greatest service and benefit in facilitating the healing journey. I have developed a well rounded tool box and perspective to share with those I work with to create positive and lasting change. My goal is for my clients to feel seen, supported, and understood.

My training in Psychotherapy was through Naropa University, where I anchored my work in a holistic perspective. I am passionate about supporting parents in healing themselves, as I see this as essential in creating a better life for our children and future generations.

Over the years, my practice has evolved from traditional Psychotherapy and Parent Coaching—where I found myself less aligned with a diagnosis-oriented approach—to a more expansive modality that integrates Coaching with Quantum, Energy & Multidimensional Healing.

I have dedicated years to developing my abilities, refining my gifts, and deepening my innerstanding of this profound healing work. I use the term Quantum Energy Healing because it, at this time, best captures the depth, scope, and transformative power of this modality. Some of the gifts and abilities that I use in my sessions include Channeling, Muscle Testing, Mediumship, Clairaudience, Clairsentience, Clairvoyance, Claircognizance, Heart Wisdom, Light Code Activation, Energy Alchemy, and more.

The lasting, life-changing shifts I have witnessed in my clients through this work have been truly beautiful, impactful, and profound. By integrating my extensive experience in Psychotherapy, Coaching, and Quantum Energy Healing, I am able to offer a truly comprehensive and dynamic approach—one that supports deep, embodied, and lasting transformation.

I am so grateful and excited to share my gifts with each client and support you on your healing journey!

Shawn Perkin, MA, LPC

Father Support Specialist, Individual, Couples, and Parent Coach, Certified EMDR Practitioner, and Social and Emotional Intelligence (SEQ) Trained

I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor, Parent Coach and Father Support Specialist for over a decade. I have worked countless hours supporting individual fathers, couples and families. In learning how to become the best father I can be for my family, I have gained the insights, skills, and practice to truly become an expert in the field. It can be a real challenge learning how to find both health and balance between how our own fathers were with us and how we want to be as fathers. I will support you to find and express your authentic fathering abilities.

Through my Masters Education at Naropa University, I have gained a Holistic approach to supporting my clients. I know how to help clients maintain a kind and curious awareness towards oneself and their relationships. Through this process, you will gain perspective on how you think, what you are feeling, what is going on beneath the surface of conversations, and how to attune to your children and just as important, yourself.
