Coaching & Support for Parents

Parenting is hard, not because you’re doing it wrong… but because it is! The truth is there is no perfect way to parent, and I am happy to help you find your individual and unique path forward.

Caregiver consultations can be done a variety of ways depending on the need of the individual and/or family. The goal is to provide research-based strategies to the family that they can then apply and add to their parenting tool kit. Consultations may be aimed at targeted behaviors that are usually happening within the home or a specific environment and are challenging to manage. The goal is to offer to support for parents, brainstorm strategies that work for you and develop positive behavior support plans.

This is offered as a separate service or in addition to the individual counseling I am doing with your child/children. During these coaching sessions only adult guardians attend. Parents are invited to attended the last 10-15 minutes of their child’s individual session, if they wish.

School Consultations

 With over 15 years of experience working in the school system, we are well-versed in collaborating with school teams and advocating on children’s & families’ behalf. We believe that a comprehensive approach is critical to children & teens success both in and out of school. With parent permission, we will work collaboratively with your child’s educational team to help create a consistent approach to supporting your child.

School consultations are available on an individual basis and are determined after either the initial session. These can be requested either by families or school districts directly (with parental consent). This service is available to support school personnel in meeting the needs of the client with effective interventions and/or offering strategies to increase school success. This includes working with school personnel for IEP , 504 or SST meetings, as well as providing expertise for classroom teachers, advocacy for discipline concerns, consulting on classroom supports and implementing / adjusting behavior plans.
