What to know about parent coaching



Is Parent Coaching Right for Me?

Parent coaching/support counseling is ideal for caregivers who may not need psychotherapy but are seeking understanding, guidance, and support around their child’s confusing or overwhelming behaviors. Parent coaching is available for parents, grandparents, stepparents, and any other caregivers involved in a child’s life.

Are You Experiencing Any of the Following?

  • Yelling at your child more often than laughing with them

  • Feeling disconnected or less close to your child

  • Feeling frustrated or overwhelmed by your child’s behavior

  • Repeating yourself over and over with little or no change

  • Struggling to find time to focus on the quality of your relationship with your child

  • Experiencing excessive parental guilt

Being a parent can be hard—especially when you feel like you’ve tried every strategy you thought should have worked.

What Can I Gain from Parent Coaching?

  • A deeper understanding of what is beneath your child’s behaviors

  • Tools to help your child build self-confidence and self-esteem

  • Insight into your child’s emotional needs

  • More effective communication with your child

  • Increased confidence in your parenting skills

  • Support around play and connection

  • A stronger, more connected relationship with your child
