parent support & coaching

Parenting can be deeply meaningful—and at the same time, incredibly challenging. Many parents reach out for support during moments of uncertainty, overwhelm, or when the reality of parenting doesn’t align with what they expected. Parent support and parent coaching offer a space to slow down, reflect, and feel less alone while navigating these challenges.

At Calm Mind Therapy, we provide telehealth parent support and parent coaching to families across California. Our work centers on supporting parents as they strengthen connection with their children and teens, build confidence in their parenting, and navigate complex family dynamics with greater clarity and compassion

WHO PARENT SUPPORT IS FOR

Parent support is designed for caregivers who want guidance, reflection, and emotional support in their parenting role. Parents often seek support when they feel unsure how to respond to their child’s needs, overwhelmed by ongoing stress, or disconnected from the version of themselves they hoped to be as a parent.

This service can be helpful whether your child is young, a teen, or a young adult, and whether concerns feel acute or more quietly ongoing.

COMMON REASONS PARENTS SEEK SUPPORT

Parents often seek support when they are experiencing:

Feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or emotionally depleted

Uncertainty about how to support a child or teen's emotional needs

Ongoing conflict or communication challenges at home

Grief, guilt, or self-doubt related to parenting expectations

Difficulty setting boundaries or responding consistently

Behavioral concerns

Family transitions

what Parent support looks like

Parent support and parent coaching are collaborative and reflective processes. Support is tailored to each family’s unique context and moves at a pace that feels manageable and respectful. From helping parents better understand their child’s temperament, developmental needs, and emotional world, to exploring the parent’s own experiences, values, and responses we aim to create space for tangible change.

Together, we may explore patterns that feel stuck, clarify what feels most challenging in day-to-day interactions, and identify strategies that feel more aligned and sustainable.

Supporting Parents of adolescents and teens

Many parents seek support specifically during their child’s adolescent or teen years: a time that can bring heightened emotional intensity, shifting boundaries, and changes in family dynamics. Parent support can be especially helpful when caregivers are navigating how to stay connected while allowing for independence.

For families navigating the adolescent years, parent support often works alongside adolescent and teen therapy, offering parents their own space for reflection, guidance, and support.

Telehealth PARENT SUPPORT IN CALIFORNIA

All parent support and parent coaching sessions are offered via secure telehealth to clients located in California. Telehealth allows parents to access support in a flexible way that fits into busy schedules, while still providing meaningful connection and continuity.

Many parents find that meeting virtually makes it easier to prioritize their own support without additional logistical stress.

OUR APPROACH

Our approach to parent support is warm, relational, and nonjudgmental. We believe that parents are doing the best they can with the tools and support available to them. Rather than offering rigid advice, we work collaboratively to help parents feel more grounded, informed, and confident in their own decision-making.

Support is tailored to each family’s lived experience, honoring both the challenges and strengths present within the family system.

Jesse Romo, AMFT

I provide telehealth parent support to families across California, helping parents build confidence, self-understanding, and flexibility in their parenting role. I believe that effective parenting isn’t about having a “perfect” child, but about deeply understanding who your child is and responding in ways that honor their unique temperament, needs, and abilities. Together, we collaborate to create goals and strategies that feel sustainable, supportive, and aligned with the emotional well-being of the entire family system.
