Parent Coaching

Transformational, attachment-centered coaching for parents who want to lead with calm, confidence, and connection.

Parenting can feel overwhelming—especially when a child’s behavior escalates, old patterns resurface, or what once worked no longer does. At Lucid Therapeutic, Parent Coaching is designed to support parents in developing a new, empowered way of showing up—one that strengthens attachment, reduces conflict, and restores a sense of steadiness in the home.

As a certified parent coach, I help parents move from reactive, survival-based parenting to a transformational approach rooted in nervous system science, developmental understanding, and relational safety.

Who Parent Coaching Is For

Parent Coaching supports:

New parents seeking clarity, confidence, and a grounded foundation from the start
Parents struggling with challenging behaviors, emotional outbursts, anxiety, defiance, or disconnection
Parents navigating high-stress family dynamics, including mental health or substance use concerns
Parents who recognize generational patterns they don’t want to repeat—and are ready to parent differently
Executive and high-achieving parents balancing demanding careers, leadership roles, and family life who want to parent with intention rather than exhaustion

Many parents come to coaching feeling depleted, uncertain, or stretched thin by competing responsibilities. Our work reframes parenting as a relationship—not a performance, metric, or problem to solve.

A Transformational Parenting Approach

Transformational Parenting focuses on changing the way parents relate to their children, not just managing behavior. Rather than relying on punishment, power struggles, or constant correction, we work to create the conditions where children feel safe, regulated, and connected—making problematic behaviors less necessary.

This approach empowers parents to:

Respond rather than react
Lead with calm authority instead of fear or frustration
Build connection without permissiveness
Hold boundaries while preserving trust

What We Work On

Parent Coaching often includes support around:

Reducing power struggles and reactive cycles
Supporting emotional regulation in children and teens
Responding to anxiety, shutdown, or explosive behavior
Strengthening connection during conflict or repair
Parenting through transitions, stress, or crisis
Rebuilding trust and attachment after rupture

The focus is practical, compassionate, and immediately applicable to real life.

Parent Coaching vs. Therapy

While Parent Coaching and therapy can complement one another, they serve different purposes.

Parent Coaching is forward-focused and skills-based, centered on how parents show up in the day-to-day moments that shape attachment, behavior, and emotional development. Coaching emphasizes nervous system regulation, relational dynamics, and practical application—helping parents make real-time changes that create immediate and lasting impact at home.

Therapy often focuses more directly on diagnosis, symptom treatment, and processing past experiences. When therapy is needed for a child, teen, or parent, Parent Coaching can work alongside it to translate insight into consistent, lived change within the family system.

Many families choose Parent Coaching because it offers clarity, momentum, and support without pathologizing their child or themselves.
