What Is Parent Coaching?
-
Professional parent coaching provides psychoeducation and practical strategies.
-
It’s directive, goal-oriented, and typically lasts 1-6 months.
-
It focuses on introducing and discussing new parenting strategies, offering support, and devising plans to implement them.
-
-
Key Benefits of Parent Coaching:
-
Improved family communication.
-
Better parenting strategies and confidence.
-
Solution-focused thinking.
-
Mindset shifts in how to parent tweens or teens.
-
Strengthened parent-child relationships.
-
-
Who Can Benefit from Parent Coaching?
-
Families facing issues like screen time struggles, communication breakdowns, transitions (e.g., marriage, death, adoption), and behavioral challenges.
-
Parents of children with ADHD, dyslexia, autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD).
-
Support for parents dealing with adolescent mental health challenges, substance abuse, or co-parenting issues.

-
My Approach to Parent Coaching:
-
Grounded in mindfulness and intentionality.
-
Professional experience as an LCSW for nearly 30 years with knowledge of mental health, child development, and family dynamics.
-
Personal experience growing up in a self-sufficient family in New Hampshire, which shaped my approach to self-determination and family cooperation.
-
Incorporating mindfulness practices to help parents stay present and grounded.
-
Parent Coaching vs. Psychotherapy:
-
Coaching is more focused on the present and future, with the goal of achieving family harmony.
-
Psychotherapy addresses mental health issues and is often focused on healing past traumas.

I provide examples of when therapy is necessary and when coaching is a better fit.

Family Coaching:

Family coaching involves working with both parents and children to create real change.
