“After just 2 parent coaching sessions with Caitlin, I feel more confident using positive reinforcement methods at home and collaborating with my son's teacher about useful strategies at school. During our 1st session, Caitlin clearly understood the complexities of our family dynamic and provided concrete strategies to address our biggest challenges… I feel really validated and empowered and our son is doing really well at school and at home.”

Why Parent coaching with an OT?

Do you feel like traditional parenting methods just don’t work? Are you exhausted from reading books, listening to podcasts (and more) to inform your parenting approaches? As an occupational therapist with 14+ years of experience working in families’ homes, I understand the needs of kids with ADHD, executive functioning challenges, sensory differences, sleep issues, toileting struggles, and more. I love learning about every child and family and collaborating to improve home routines, relationships and more.

What Is Parent Support & Coaching?

  • I offer personalized strategies that address the biggest issues you have with your kid(s). I aim to empower you to establish new approaches and feel more confident––resulting in lasting behavior change, better relationships with your kids, and improved family dynamics overall. 

  • I have extensive knowledge about current research and strategies to support neurodivergent children and parents. If you’re looking for specific strategies to support a child with possible (or diagnosed) Autism or ADHD, parent coaching could be a great starting point.

How Parent Coaching Works

  • These services are conducted using a secure video platform.  They are open to any interested families in Washington State. Parent support and coaching is different from direct occupational therapy, and not billable to insurance.

  • The initial coaching session includes a review of any reports you share with me and a sensory questionnaire for you to complete online. The results are shared at our first meeting (and via email, for your records) including:

    • Discussion of your top goals

    • Suggestions for you to try at home before the next appointment

    • Ideas to share with teachers, as appropriate.

      Fees: $200 for the initial session and $165 for subsequent sessions (60 minutes each). After the initial session, these can be scheduled with varying intervals, depending on your preference. Most families choose 2-4 weeks between sessions.
