Heart In Mind offers phone coaching sessions to allow for convenience and flexibility. Sessions are 45 - 60 minutes in length, depending on your needs. A session can be attended with either one or both parents on the call, as dictated by your family needs.

During our sessions I will:

• Listen to your concerns and ask key questions to help you clarify the issue and identify your goals.
• Assist you in designing a strategy that you will use to address your situation, and guide you in implementing action steps.
• Encourage you to look at interrelated issues, stresses, and developmental needs.
• Help you define both yours and your child's strengths and build upon them to increase mastery.
• Provide you with information and offer suggestions, as well as support and encouragement.

A follow up phone call is available after each session to help you integrate your strategy or skills in the context of using them with your children. You may want support, clarification, troubleshooting, or further guidance on how best to implement your action steps. A follow up phone call is 15 minutes or less and can be scheduled in a speedy manner so you can stay on track with your parenting goals.

All coaching services are provided confidentially. I do not discuss who my clients are or what issues they work on. My background in counseling and education has provided me years of experience in honoring professional confidentiality standards.

Coaching is not counseling or therapy, nor is it an appropriate substitution for those services. Coaching is not an appropriate venue for resolving trauma, loss, or grief. It is not equipped to assist with diagnosable mental health issues, drug and alcohol addiction, or family violence. My background as a mental health professional enables me to recognize situations beyond the scope of basic developmental issues, and I will refer coaching clients to more appropriate services if necessary.
