Young adults feeling overwhelmed by natural life transitions (jobs, relationships, moving, etc.), or are exhausted from people-pleasing and perfectionism
Parent Coaching
Parenting is undeniably the most difficult and important job in the world. Parent coaching is a nonjudgmental, supportive, collaborative, and informative form of therapy that helps parents show up in a valuable and effective way for themselves and their children. It involves them meeting with a certified professional to learn evidence-based strategies to address their child's problematic behavior, to build a healthier relationship with their teenager, or how to best support their child's development, skill-building, or progress towards a specific goal. For example, parents seeking this service may come with the goal of wanting to help their young child sleep through the night in their own bed, getting their kids to follow house rules, to adjust their own expectations to their child's developmental stage and unique personality, or help set their child up for success to cope with difficult situations, emotions, and challenges.
