Coaching for Parents & Caregivers
of Neurodivergent Children, Adolescents, & Young Adults
What can coaching do for you?
Dr. Jess understands the struggles of parenting neurodivergent children of all ages, and also knows what parents and caregivers can do now — and what they should avoid — to help their children reach their potential for happiness & success as neurodivergent adults.
Coaching can be especially helpful for parents & caregivers who:
feel alone because other parents they know don’t have these problems.
don’t know how to talk to extended family members about their neurodivergent child’s differences.
feel judged by other parents and family members because of their neurodivergent child’s behavior.
are frustrated with their neurodivergent child’s lack of motivation.
worry about their neurodivergent child’s lack of friends.
don’t know what else to do to ease their neurodivergent child’s anxiousness and depressive symptoms that arise from feeling different from others.
are exhausted and not sure they can keep managing the stress of parenting their neurodivergent child.
worry that parenting their neurodivergent child causes them to neglect their other children, spouse/partner, other important relationships, their job, their home, & even themselves.
don’t understand their neurodivergent child.
Private Coaching
Private coaching provides focused, individualized support and guidance to clarify specific problems, define and prioritize distinct goals, and increase personal effectiveness for reaching parenting objectives while honoring neurodivergent children’s individuality.
Parents of neurodivergent children often focus their coaching on improving understanding of their child’s unique needs and increasing their skills for effectively supporting their child’s optimal development.
Group Coaching
Every person is unique, but we all live in a world of neurotypical standards, so parents of neurodivergent people experience similar challenges.
Group coaching is a lower-cost alternative to private coaching that provides opportunities for direct coaching ~ both live and by text &/or voice messaging ~ and offers the additional benefit of learning from coaching provided to other group members.
