Parent Coaching

Feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or unsure how to handle your child’s behavior? Parenting is incredibly rewarding—but also deeply challenging. When discipline struggles, emotional outbursts, or family stress take over, even the most dedicated parents can feel lost. Parent coaching gives you the tools, support, and strategies to parent with more confidence and calm.

 

At Concannon Family Therapy, we empower parents to build stronger relationships with their children while setting effective boundaries. With more than 20 years of experience, Tom Concannon, MFT, brings expert insight to modern parenting struggles—with practical guidance that works.

​

What Is Parent Coaching?

​

Parent coaching is a focused, goal-oriented form of counseling designed to help you better understand your child’s behavior and respond with more clarity and effectiveness. It’s not about judgment—it’s about partnership and skill-building.

​

Parent coaching can help with:

• Toddler tantrums or meltdowns
   

• Oppositional or defiant behavior
   

• Sleep and routine challenges
   

• Parent-child conflict
   

• Screen time battles
   

• Sibling rivalry
   

• Managing emotions and setting limits
   

Whether you’re parenting a preschooler or a teenager, coaching can provide fresh tools and perspectives.

​

What to Expect in Sessions

​

Tom works with parents individually or as a couple to explore:

• The root causes of behavior, not just the symptoms
   

• Your child’s developmental stage and emotional needs
   

• Clear, respectful discipline strategies
   

• Communication tools for greater connection
   

• Self-care practices to reduce parenting burnout
   

Sessions are judgment-free and focused on realistic, effective solutions.
