Open Arms Consulting

Relationship Development Intervention (RDI) & Neurodiversity Consultant

by Open Arms Consulting

Online & In-Person

Open Arms Consulting is a certified RDI (Relationship Development Intervention) and neuro-affirming family coaching practice founded by Robin Metsos, based in Montreal and serving families virtually worldwide. Robin works with families of neurodivergent children — those with autism, ADHD, PDA, and other developmental profiles — coaching parents to become the most powerful developmental resource in their child’s life. Rather than focusing on the child in isolation, her work builds the guiding relationship between parent and child, the foundation from which all real growth flows. What sets Open Arms apart is its warm, whole-family philosophy. Robin meets families where they are — emotionally and practically — through a tiered program structure (3, 6, or 12 months) that begins with a Relationship Development Assessment and grows at the family’s pace. Her approach is strengths-based, neuro-affirming, and extends beyond the therapy room into school, community, and everyday life. The belief at the heart of everything she does: when you thrive, your child thrives.
