Parent Coaching

Research-based support for today's parent

complete family together

You’ve read all the books, listened to the podcasts, and none of it’s working.

Parenting in today’s fast-paced world is hard.

You weren’t given an instruction manual when your child was born, instead you got bombarded with well-meaning advice from everywhere and everyone.

Books, social media “experts,” our own families, podcasts. There is so much information out there, and who can a parent trust? That’s just a few of modern parenting challenges. Parenting coaching can provide the support and guidance needed to navigate these challenges effectively.

Child development hasn't changed, but the world they grow up in is radically different.

It’s even harder when your child is dealing with behaviors and feelings you don’t understand.

Maybe your child can’t stop worrying about their grades, their upcoming performance, or being alone at night. They might be scared to try a new sport, approach a new child to make a friend, or ask the teacher for help. There could be mornings where getting out the door to go to school is filled with tears or both of you start yelling.

You know your relationship with your child could be better or that you used to enjoy each other’s company, and now it’s become a constant battle. You want your home to be filled with love and joy, but it can feel like you’re walking on eggshells with your child.

You’ve taken deep breaths, you’ve tried counting to 10, and all the other tips and tricks, but nothing is changing, and you’re feeling stressed and overwhelmed.

At Reflect Therapy, we believe you are the expert on your child, but maybe you don’t have all the tools and evolving new skills to parent alone. That’s where therapist-led parent coaching comes in. We help you understand child development, so you can support your child every step of the way. We are here to support parents with our parent coaches. Our coaches undergo parent coach certification, which includes comprehensive training programs with hands-on coaching experience, mentorship from experienced trainers, and a curriculum focused on key concepts such as attachment science and non-violent communication.

What it’s like working with a Reflect parent coach:

  • Your coach will not judge your parenting, but empower and help you better your parenting skills

  • Your coach is there to support you with any questions, build parenting strategies, and get research-based feedback, supporting you in your unique parenting style

  • Your coach is someone who will come up with a plan for your unique family life situation and help you implement it, much like a personal trainer provides tools and strategies to achieve fitness goals

What is Parent Coaching?

Parent coaching is a specialized form of coaching that focuses on helping parents develop effective parenting skills and strategies. It is a goal-oriented process designed to help parents achieve specific outcomes for their child. Parent coaching can be provided by a variety of professionals, including licensed therapists, counselors, and coaches who have received specialized training in parent coaching.

Unlike family counseling or therapy, which may address underlying emotional or psychological issues, parent coaching is a proactive approach that focuses on building practical parenting skills and strategies. It empowers parents to handle everyday challenges and improve their overall parenting style.

Parent coaching aims to equip parents with the knowledge and tools they need to support their child’s development and well-being.

Common questions about parent coaching

  • While parent coaching may have some therapeutic elements, and is a service offered by a Licensed Professional Counselor, it is not individual therapy. This is a consultation time to discuss on-going concerns and interventions to improve relationships and issues in your family.

  • No. Parent coaching is just for the caregivers of the child. A benefit is you don’t have to pull your child from school or activities to implement change!
