Parent Coaching
We understand that parenting is a journey filled with ups and downs. It isn't always intuitive, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. As parents, you are often the first line of support when your children need help. Our goal at Whole Kids Health is to partner with you in this journey. We strive to understand what matters most to you and build upon your inherent strengths as a parent. We believe that by fostering a positive, empathetic, and secure relationship with your child, you can create the foundation for their long-term well-being.
Both individual and group-based coaching services are available for parents who are seeking guidance in supporting their children and adolescents in better managing mental health and/or the psychological impacts of physical health symptoms. Across parent coaching services, you can expect a non-judgmental and compassionate environment. We create a safe space where you can openly work through parenting challenges in collaboration with our skilled clinicians. Our therapists are experienced in working with parents and caregivers and are dedicated to understanding your unique circumstances and needs. By equipping you with effective strategies, we empower you to support your children when they need it the most.
Parenting is hard work.

Complete an intake.
You will complete a brief intake questionnaire so that we may learn about your needs and goals. This also helps ensure that our services are right for you.
