Parent Coaching Services
How do you get from dreaming about the
parent-child relationship you want to having it?
That’s my job.
I provide a safe, supportive space where you can discuss your concerns without judgment - and learn how to get to the outcomes you have been searching for. Together we will dismantle the barriers standing between you and effective parenting, step by step. Through education, skill-building, and ongoing support you will create the peaceful connection you’ve been searching for.
What is Parent Coaching?
Parent coaching is a short-term intervention that helps you identify what matters most to you as a parent. It is both educational and supportive. Together we’ll create an individualized plan to guide you in becoming the parent you want to be. You’ll receive support to help reach your parenting goals. We will talk about why your child is acting out and how you can help them express and meet those needs with fewer unwanted behaviors. You will learn more about your personal triggers and responses. You will be given reliable tools to improve your connection and bring out the best in yourself and your child.
Coaching occurs in 50-minute sessions. The process is completed remotely - via telephone or video conference calls. It can be accessed wherever you are, without ever leaving home. The days, times, and frequency of coaching are flexible and determined based on what works best for you. To ensure the best possible outcomes, I suggest starting with a 6-session package, but do not require it.
Parent coaching can help if...
Your child…
has oppositional behaviors and outbursts, trouble with transitions, rigid thinking, extra sensitivities, miscellaneous behavior issues, poor time management and other living skills, trouble with social interactions and situations, or a need for extra support with their LGBTQA* identity.
You…
are frustrated, overwhelmed, feel ill-equipped or exhausted, wish you could respond differently, want to help your child gain better skills to navigate challenges, are struggling with how to support your LGBTQA* child, fall on the LGBTQA* spectrum yourself and lack support as a parent, or simply wish you could find a better balance.
This is not therapy.
Therapy involves the processing of events and trauma in a client’s history with a goal to heal from that trauma, find some relief, or “closure.” Often therapy involves clinical diagnosis and treatment plans. It can last several weeks or many years.
VS.
Parent Coaching starts today, with the present, and looks forward. Coaching helps you address today’s behaviors and learn a more effective way of parenting. Coaching does not offer or attempt to make a diagnosis.
