Parent Coaching
When we feel disconnected from our child, it throws our lives into chaos.
Even if you feel you have tried it all, there is a way to improve your communication with and connection to your child. In sessions, we identify and practice skills that will allow your relationship with your child to mature as they do. This will include tools to increase your ability to bring firmness and compassion to your parenting style.
Our therapeutic approach informs meetings with parents. We keep our focus on building a strong relationship which allows us to offer meaningful and constructive reflections. Most importantly, we do not place blame on any individual person, but instead identify each person’s role and new ways to engage in a healthier path forward.
Coaching can help parents:
Confront and respond to behavioral issues of children
Improve communication and connection
Resolve long-standing conflicts
Relieve tensions
Co-parent in the face of divorce
Unify blended families
Prepare for a child’s return from wilderness therapy or inpatient treatment
Families come in many shapes and sizes and the solutions to their disconnection are not one size fits all. Parent coaching can address the unique and sometimes conflicting desires between children and their parents and help them chart a new path forward.
