Parent Support & Coaching
Improve confidence. Enjoy parenting.
Parent Support & Coaching provides parents and caregivers individualized strategies that support your relationship with your child while tackling ordinary (and extraordinary!) parenting challenges.
We provide you with frameworks grounded in attachment research and neurobiology to understand your child’s behaviors and emotional needs. This informs tools and strategies to support your child’s needs, while easing your stress as a parent.
We meet virtually with you, hear your concerns, ask questions to understand your values, and your child’s needs. We integrate that with current research on parenting and child development to give you tools to enjoy parenting.
Parenting can be the hardest and most rewarding job you have. We know that with the right support parents and children can be the most successful versions of themselves!
While our Parent Support & Coaching providers are licensed therapists, Parent Support & Coaching is a consultation and coaching service, not a healthcare service nor psychotherapy. Therefore, it is not billable to insurance or eligible for Health Savings Accounts. Psychotherapy is a separate healthcare service that includes diagnosing and treating emotional and psychological problems.
What topics can be addressed in Parent Support & Coaching?
Sleep Challenges
Does your child sleep in your bed? Or need you to lay with them until they fall asleep?
We help you work through your own process, while supporting your child's move towards independent sleep without compromising your relationship or "crying-it-out."
We provide you with strategies, and then problem solve with you to decide which would work best for your family.
Adjusting to a New Sibling
Sometimes the older child outwardly shows upset towards the new baby, other times, they seem to adore the baby, but other behaviors have become more challenging.
It may be too vulnerable to show aggression to the baby, so you see it in other ways.
We provide support and strategies for managing this transition for the whole family.
Other topics we address:
- Bedtime battles
- Moving from surviving parenting to responsive parenting
- Responding to meltdowns
- New sibling
- Difficulties with drop-off and separation
- Challenges with potty training
- Sibling rivalry
- Parenting highly sensitive and neurodivergent children
- Navigating school-based behavioral complaints
- Difficulty with social interactions and play
