Parent Coaching

You do not need another parenting tip. You need a plan for your child.

You have read the advice. You have tried being firmer and being more patient. Mornings, homework, screens, or bedtime still end in the same struggle, and you are exhausted by how much of your day goes into managing it.

Parent coaching at Third Wave gives you a place to understand what may be driving the behavior, choose a few realistic strategies, and adjust them as you learn what works. Parents can get support even when a younger child is not ready for or does not need individual therapy.

What we can work on

ADHD and executive-function challenges; emotional outbursts and transitions; mornings, homework, and bedtime; screen-time conflict; communication with your child or teen; coordination with school; and your own confidence and stress as a parent. Your child’s strengths and what already works in your family are part of the plan.

Which service fits?

Parent coaching centers on what caregivers can do at home. Family therapy brings family members into therapeutic work on their relationships and communication. Individual child or teen therapy focuses on the young person’s own clinical needs. If the right path is unclear, we can help you sort through it during your first conversation.

Packages and cost

You don’t need to know which therapy approach you need or spend hours comparing clinician bios.

Tell us a little about what’s bringing you in, what matters to you, and what you’re looking for. Our Wellness Coordination Team will use that to recommend a therapist who fits your needs, preferences, schedule, and payment or insurance options.

And if the first fit doesn’t feel right? We’ll help you find another.

With 40 clinicians across Third Wave, you have options without having to navigate them alone.
