Empowering Parents of Children with Behavioral and Emotional Challenges

Parent Coaching vs Therapy

Parent coaching is designed to prevent the need for the child to engage in psychotherapy in the future. Therefore, parent therapy is driven by psychoneuroeducation and is designed to create a home environment and parent-child relationships that are supportive and attuned to the child’s personality profile. My parent coaching approach is informed by developmental neurobiology and evolutionary science and focuses on relational parenting interventions.

My parent coaching approach is also designed to help parents understand the unique personality profile of non-formulaic children and provide the parenting they need to thrive.

California Residents

As a California-Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I provide parent coaching to California residents. Providing parent coaching as an LMFT allows me to also work individually with the child and provide a diagnosis. You might also be able to seek partial reimbursement for the cost of the sessions from your insurance company if you have a PPO. If you are a California resident, please visit my psychotherapy webpage here.

Non-California Residents

If you are not a California resident, my parent coaching services will be conducted as a coach instead of a psychotherapist. This means that I only work with parents and don’t meet with the child. In addition, you won’t be able to submit your expenses to your insurance company for reimbursement, nor will I provide a diagnosis.
