Parent Coaching

Dr. Carter has two decades of experience working directly with parents in creating change within their homes and children. Dr. Carter's approach to parent training mirrors his therapeutic work in that he works with parents from a place of their strengths and expertise of their family. As parents, there are already so many things that you are doing well and we want to highlight and build on those strengths. This is accomplished by exploring family values and using a principles based approach to parent education. Too often, early in Dr. Carter's career, parents would come to session asking, "what do we do in ______________ situation?" Dr. Carter would offer suggestions and ideas, parents would go home and implement, and three or four weeks later: "what do we do in ______________ situation?" Principle based parenting gives parents skills that allow them to address most scenarios at home in a way that supports connectedness, teaches family values and creates consistency and accountability for children of all ages including adult children still living at home. Parents are the leaders of the family. As your parent coach, Dr. Carter seeks to empower you to lead with confidence, courage and love. Show them how and they will follow.
