Coaching is a proactive, solution-focused approach that is geared towards helping you to build the skills and mindset that is needed to overcome challenges. Parent coaching clients come to sessions with real-life situations and challenging scenarios that they would like some guidance with.

Therapy and coaching can feel very similar, but they are marked by some key difference.

In therapy, we aim to identify and process the root cause of symptoms often related to mental health wellness. By working through negative thought patterns, undesirable behaviors, and big emotions, highly trained and licensed mental health clinicians will help clients determine why things are the way they are. A mental health diagnosis is often made in therapy.

Coaching is more focused on future goals and does not typically involve the processing of past experiences. You will identify obstacles and build skills to help you achieve the goals that you and your coach have clarified together. Coaching does not treat mental health and there is no diagnosis required. Coaches are not required by law to hold clinical licenses.

Therapy and coaching are complementary and at Realistic Serenity, our coaches happen to hold clinical licensure in addition to the skills and education required to be an effective coach.

Parent coaching can truly be a good fit for anyone. Children don’t come with any sort of instruction manual and it can be exhausting having to guess what the right or best course of action should be. It’s never too late and it never hurts to seek consultation with a professional.

Yes! Neurodivergence is a speciality of ours and parent support is incredibly useful around this diagnosis. Often parents are both relieved to finally have answers, and confused about what they can do to actually help their child. Parent coaching is particularly beneficial under these circumstances.
