Parent Coaching

Support for navigating the messy, beautiful, confusing seasons of parenting teens and young adults.

You’re doing your best to support your child — but sometimes, it feels like nothing works. You’re walking the line between giving them space and staying involved, between keeping the peace and setting limits. You're trying to keep communication open without pushing them away.

Parenting through adolescence and young adulthood can feel like you’re flying blind. And when your child is struggling with identity, self-esteem, anxiety, or big emotions, it’s easy to feel like you’re failing — or just worn out.

But here’s the truth:
You’re not alone. And there’s no such thing as a perfect parent.

What Is Parent Coaching?

Parent coaching is a space just for you — where you can process what’s going on, build new tools, and reconnect with your confidence as a caregiver.

Using a Solution-Focused Brief Therapy approach, we’ll work together to:

  • Identify what’s already working in your relationship with your child

  • Get clear on what’s most important to you as a parent

  • Discover new ways to respond to hard moments with calm, clarity, and compassion

  • Improve communication and reduce conflict in your home

  • Support your child’s emotional growth — without losing yourself in the process

How It’s Different From Therapy

Parent coaching is practical, forward-focused, and collaborative. It’s not about dissecting your past — it’s about building what works right now.

Some parents come in for a handful of sessions to address specific challenges. Others use coaching alongside their child’s therapy to stay involved and supported. Either way, this work is tailored to your unique family, values, and goals.

You don’t have to have a “problem” to benefit from coaching.
You just need a desire to parent more intentionally — even when things are messy.

Topics We Might Explore

  • How to support a child questioning their identity or struggling with confidence

  • Responding to anxiety, withdrawal, or big emotions

  • Setting boundaries with love and respect

  • Repairing after conflict

  • Learning how to listen without “fixing”

  • Co-parenting across different parenting styles

  • Strengthening connection while allowing independence

And perhaps most importantly — how to stay grounded and self-compassionate as a parent.

A Stronger Relationship Starts with You

You want your child to feel safe, loved, and seen.
Parent coaching helps you show up for them in ways that feel aligned with your values — even when the road is bumpy.

And as your confidence grows, so does your connection with your child.
