Parent Coaching
“Our children are richer when we let them know that we, even as adults, want to grow too, and that we hope to keep growing all our lives”
-Fred Rodgers
Parenting is extremely fulfilling but it also comes with its share of challenges. We understand that sometimes it feels as though those challenges are outweighing the positives. We are here to support you in developing useful tools that promote your growth as a parent and build upon your existing strengths.
We work very closely with you while your child is involved in individual therapy. It is our policy that we have an initial session with parents prior to meeting with your child and we continue to meet with you for consults on a monthly basis thereafter.
We also provide parent coaching/consulting in individual or group formats for caregivers of any kind. We will work with parents, grandparents, stepparents, and any other caregiver in a child’s life. We have also found that prospective parents and parents with babies benefit from learning new skills!
