Parent Coaching
Offered in Georgetown and Virtually
"The point of parenting is not to have all the answers before we start out but instead to figure it out on the go as our children grow. Because as they do, so will we." - Bridgett Miller
Parenting is a rewarding yet challenging journey, and many individuals find themselves seeking guidance and support to navigate the complexities of raising children. Parent coaching, rooted in the expertise of social work, offers a holistic and compassionate approach to help parents develop effective parenting skills, enhance family dynamics, and promote the overall well-being of both parents and children. Sessions will create a collaborative environment with parent(s) to identify goals, strengths, and areas for growth.
Whether you are a new parent, in a period of family transition, parent of children with health concerns or disabilities; parent coaching provides personalized support tailored to the specific needs and circumstances of each client. With its focus on empowerment and tailored support, serves as an invaluable resource for parents across various stages and circumstances.
