Frequently Asked Questions

---

As of 1/15/26, we have a wait list of about 4-6 weeks. To get on the wait list, complete our online referral/intake form.  Submitting the form does not bind you to services, it allows us to contact you when a coach is available. If you are no longer in need of services at that time, we will delete you from the list.  No obligation.

You've made a great first step by being on this page. Your next step is to schedule a free 30 minute consultation with our owner, Angie.  If you decide to move forward, you'll complete our Intake Form to get on the wait list.  

When a coach becomes available, we will contact you  to see if you are still interested in services.  If so, payment will be requested and you'll be matched with a coach who will reach out to you for more information.  If you no longer have a need, we will remove your name from our list.

You may choose single sessions or a discounted package of five sessions, either of which are payable upfront. We know families have unique needs, so the number of sessions after that will vary, and you'll work that out with your coach.

We are dedicated to maintaining your trust and confidentiality, while holding ourselves to a high standard of service.  We will work with you to address needs urgently and with great care.

A free 30 minute consultation  is a casual virtual chat with our founder and head coach Angie to discuss your needs and how we can help. Children do not need to be present, but if they are, we'll be discreet during the conversation, while also brainstorming some immediate suggestions to support you. If you decide that coaching is what you and your family need, you'll then complete the Intake Form, if you haven't already, to get on the wait list. 

We are grateful for our community partners and honored to do this work alongside you.  Complete the Third Party Referral Form to get your client on the wait-list. Once a coach is available, they will reach out to consult with you and request any additional information that will guide their work. As they reach out to the family and develop a plan, our coaches will stay in communication with you as needed regarding the family's continuing of care. Please inform your client or patient before you make a referral to ensure the family is willing to participate and there's a Release of Information on file.

Yes. All of this. Whether diagnosed or not, families who experience these symptoms and behaviors still deserve the education, skills, and encouragement that are needed to live and cope in healthy ways.  

We've worked with people of all ages who experience complex struggles and know how difficult these situations can be on the whole family.  The skills, strategies, and resources we share are specific to the behaviors we observe in-home and learn about from you.  

Although we do not provide therapeutic care or legal advice, we may suggest and encourage additional resources so you no longer feel alone in your struggles.  Navigating this path can be challenging and uncertain. We believe all people have gifts and strengths that need to be identified and nurtured and we're on your team to help you on that journey.

We do not take insurance. Discounted packages, individual sessions, or on-demand self guided learning options are available.  We accept private payments (Zelle, Paypal, Venmo, or Check) and all services are payable upfront before a coach is assigned.

Anyone is welcome to join our confidential free online office hours for additional support, every Tuesday 8:00am-8:30am CST and Noon-12:30pm CST.  

Plus!  We want to be spending our time with families, not doing insurance paperwork! 

You can expect progress! 

98% of our families agree or strongly agree that they have made improvement while receiving parent coaching. This speaks to the work families are committed to doing and the relationship they have with their coach.  

Coaching sessions are unique to your family and will include a mix of education, resources, skills practice, and family activities.  You and your coach will determine how and when you meet, which could include online, in-home, or phone.

We know parenting isn't a 9-5 job and we expect needs arise after hours.  We pride ourselves in helping you through challenging situations with text and phone support whenever possible during those hot moments!

Our coaches have years of personal and professional experience and training that helps them be sensitive to you and your family's needs and de-escalate situations.  We are confident in giving you the right  balance of accountability and encouragement, and we know this work can be hard.  When our clients do the work and consistently implement what they learn, they make amazing progress that is felt by everyone at home! 

Parent coaching is not about being told everything you’re doing wrong, being judged, or being pushed into someone else’s idea of “good parenting.” We don’t shame, pressure, or offer quick fixes that fade when things get hard. We understand that many parents come to us after trying everything they know. Our work is different—we build trust first through understanding your values and vision, then help you create a strong, lasting foundation for healthy relationships, so real change can grow over time, at a pace that feels safe and sustainable for your family.

If you’ve tried everything, felt misunderstood, or been promised solutions that didn’t last, it makes sense to be cautious—this space is built for parents who want support without judgment, pressure, or false promises.

We would be honored to be a part of your team as a parent coach and will add research-based, developmentally appropriate parenting skills and encouragement to your efforts.  We'll also collaborate to reinforce the progress plans already in place to keep you moving forward. We know it takes a village and have seen how important it is to help your family stay connected to other supports you trust. Your social worker, lawyer, or case manager can contact us to discuss or simply make a referral.  

These cases are accepted on an individual basis and a 30 minute free consultation is required.  We see the biggest results when adults are open to learning and practicing new skills and working through challenging situations using research based philosophies and techniques.  This includes working through our program, with a minimum of three sessions. We believe when you know better, you will do better!  But you have to want to.

After the initial consultation, complete the Intake Form to get on the wait-list.

We will work with one or both parents to ensure focus is kept on the children and their needs during the process.  With safety as our priority, it is our approach to help each parent identify the values and expectations they wish to establish and maintain in their home while using a cooperative style.  We help guide families to prioritize open and honest communication, establish consistent rules and expectations, learn to, or continue to, respect each other's parenting styles, and focus on the child's well-being above personal conflicts.  We'll help both parents actively work to create a stable parenting plan and make decisions that benefit the children.  

Several members of our team are trained in, or have studied, co-parenting approaches and we are excited to have three coaches who are MN Rule 114 Alternative Dispute Resolution Mediation certified!

Wonderful!  We love being invited to reach even more people!  Many of our coaches have created specialized content to fit a variety of needs, please contact Angie to request a topics list or to discuss additional details.  We can travel to you or provide online training anywhere! If your group is a member of the Southeast Service Cooperative, Angie will help coordinate this. Let's get on your calendar today!
