For you, not for your teen
Parent coaching
For parents who are tired of the same argument and want a steadier way to answer it.
Just you, or both parents
Sessions are 50 minutes and your teen is not in the room. You can speak plainly about what is hard at home.
Practice for the hard moments
You choose one situation, such as curfew or screens, and rehearse what you will say and do.
Kept apart from your teen's therapy
What you say here is not repeated to your teen, and what your teen says is not repeated to you, beyond what was agreed in writing.
Same-week appointments
Plain-language explanations
The details
Method, limits and cost
The method
Parent management training and family systems therapy, in plain language. Edna explains the method and its possible risks and benefits in your first session.
What this is not
Not therapy for your teen, and not a parenting class. It is not billed to insurance. For a crisis, call or text 988.
Length, and how it is paid
50 minutes. Parent coaching has its own fee, billed apart from your teen's sessions and given in writing before you start.

Questions
Three questions about parent coaching
Can I do this without my teen being in therapy?
Yes. Parent coaching stands on its own, and some parents begin here.
Will my teen know what I say?
No. Edna does not pass on what you share about your own life and home.
Can both parents come?
Yes, together or one at a time, including parents who live in two homes.
