WHAT IS A PARENT COACH?

  • A parent coach is a trained professional who develops strategies and tools to help parents become the parent they want to be.

  • A parent coach assists parents in generating a customized plan of action while assisting them in implementing and achieving that plan.

  • A parent coach helps parents deal with everyday issues and struggles such as

    • Morning routines​

    • Bedtime battles

    • Power struggles

    • Parental frustration

    • Homework challenges

    • Chores

    • Disrespectful behavior

    • And more...

WHY WOULD I NEED A PARENT COACH?

  • Every day seems like a never-ending battle with your child and things don't seem to be getting any better.

  • You are frustrated, have tried everything and nothing seems to work.

  • You have shared your struggles with others, and you still have no solutions.

  • You feel deflated and discouraged. 

  • You feel stressed out, angry, guilty, and worried, and you know it is time for a change.

  • You feel unsupported, unheard, and confused about what to do about parenting.

  • You have read so many parenting books, and you still do not know what to do.

  • You want to raise your child differently than the way you were raised.

  • You are ready to learn some new strategies.

  • You want to get on the same parenting page with your partner.

  • You are committed to changing and open to learning more about understanding children, yourself, and your family dynamics.

  • You realize that parenting is not a sprint but a marathon and it takes a lot of work, training, and patience to reach your goal.

Not at all. Parent Coaching is an online service. As long as you have access to a phone or the internet, we can work together. When booking an appointment, please remember that all my appointments are in Eastern Standard Time Zone.

DO YOU WORK WITH KIDS?

No. I prefer to work with parents behind the scenes. My job is to empower you to be your best, which will bring out the best in your child/children.

PARENT COACHING VS. THERAPY

Parent Coaching:

  • is relationship focused.

  • focuses on a client or family’s current situation.

  • provides education, encouragement, and support, tailored to you and your family's unique needs. 

  • sees the parent as the expert on their child/children.

  • uses a team approach to find the best solutions for your family.

  • does not diagnose mental health concerns.

 

Therapy:

  • addresses and resolves issues from a client’s past.

  • uses diagnoses and can last anywhere from weeks to years.

  • does not use a team approach instead there is a professional that is there to guide you to a deeper understanding and management of your mental health concerns.

 

As a parent coach, I do not provide therapy. If during our conversations, I feel that you or someone in your family would benefit from therapy, I will encourage you to seek therapy from a licensed mental health counselor or therapist in your area.

 

Coaching does have one thing in common with therapy: all conversations are strictly confidential.
