Parenting Coaching

Are you ready to break out of tiring cycles of frustration, yelling and guilt with your children? Want tools to approach stress & conflict in new ways? Looking for respectful and effective ways to respond to challenging behaviors?

Rachel Henes, LSW helps parents to do the internal work needed to transform their relationships - with themselves and their children.

Through individual sessions that offer personalized support and research-based tools, parents learn to:

  • Recognize triggers that lead to high stress responses;

  • Understand challenging behaviors and prevent power struggles;

  • Be more present, playful and patient with children and teens;

  • Support children’s social and emotional health in highly-competitive environments

Mindful Parenting - Parent Coaching & Support

Overview: Mindful Parenting is an evidence-based program that focuses on helping parents learn how to deal differently with their own stress, and as a result, interact with children in more effective and intentional ways. Mindful Parenting Coaching offers parents a short-term opportunity to learn the core concepts and tools within this model. In addition, the coaching process helps parents to clarify how they want their relationships with their children to be, and to build skills to create calm and connection at home. Over the course of these sessions, parents begin to identify patterns or habitual responses that aren't working, explore triggers and knee-jerk responses, and learn brief mindfulness practices that can help reduce stress reactivity. In-between sessions, parents are given home practices and reflection worksheets so they can try out new practices at home.
