Parent Coaching
Help with Parenting Children and Teenagers
We serve adults at all ages struggling with issues of parenting their children, and we help to create a positive working behavior plan for the home and school. We assist you in developing positive ways to interact with your children and have fun! We help parents going through divorce on positive ways to communicate with each other as well as their children.
Sometimes parents need guidance for parenting strategies, assistance with the school on an academic issue, and connection with other parents in the community to assure that their child is safe and thriving. We work with parents of adolescents and teenagers to better understand challenges they are having while parenting.
Parents receive action-oriented practical help (resources, tools, and relevant information) along with ideas and support which often bring smooth “solutions.” Parent consultations focus on today rather than working on past difficulties. Some parents only need one session to resolve a problem. Others use parent consultations regularly to assist with decision-making and mediation.
This service is also used for co-parents who do not live together. Parent consultations can be used when co-parents need to work through parenting differences or to assist with decision-making in order to reach a parenting agreement.

Parenting Skills and Support Groups
These groups are offered as a space where parents can come together to share their stories, experiences, and lives in a way that helps reduce isolation and loneliness. Oftentimes, we think we are struggling alone, but support groups help us see that there are others who may be dealing with similar situations and who in turn, can help us get better.
