Great If
Parent coaching might be right for you if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the daily demands of parenting, unsure how to respond to tantrums, sleepless nights, or constant decision-making. Maybe you’re navigating the early stages of parenthood and wondering if you're doing it “right.” You might feel burnt out, stretched thin, or disconnected from the parent you hoped to be. Perhaps you and your partner parent differently, and you're seeking clarity, alignment, or support through the tension. If you're carrying the invisible mental load of parenting, or struggling to find time for yourself amid it all, coaching can help you reset. You may just need a space to think aloud, reflect, and get grounded again. Whether you're looking for practical strategies, emotional support, or a clearer sense of what really matters in your parenting journey, we’re here to walk alongside you.

When in need, don’t be afraid to ask.

What is parent coaching and how is it different from therapy?

Parent coaching focuses on practical strategies and emotional support for parenting challenges. It’s not therapy, but it offers guidance tailored to your parenting goals, helping you feel more confident and connected with your child.

Who is parent coaching for?

Our coaching is ideal for new parents, expecting parents, and caregivers of young children who feel overwhelmed, unsure, or stuck. Whether you're dealing with sleep issues, toddler behavior, or mental load burnout, coaching can help.

Do I have to be a first-time parent to benefit from coaching?

Not at all. While many clients are new parents, coaching is also helpful for parents with multiple children, blended families, or those navigating parenting after a major life transition.

What topics can we cover in parent coaching sessions?

Sessions can focus on sleep routines, emotional regulation (for kids and parents), discipline strategies, setting boundaries, co-parenting, self-care, managing guilt, and staying connected to your values while raising a child.

Is parent coaching available online?

Yes! We offer virtual parent coaching sessions so you can access support from anywhere—including during nap time or after bedtime. In-person sessions are also available in Austin, TX.

How often should I meet with a parent coach?

It depends on your needs. Some parents benefit from weekly sessions for ongoing support, while others schedule check-ins monthly or during specific challenges. We’ll collaborate on a plan that works for your family.

Can my partner or co-parent join the sessions?

Absolutely. Co-parenting support is a key part of what we offer. Whether you parent together or apart, coaching can help you communicate more clearly and parent more consistently. We do not offer co-parenting services when court is involved, but we are happy to recommend other licensed practitioners who specialize in court-related treatment.
