Our family coaches are adept at establishing and maintaining a culture of gentleness, mercy, forgiveness, empathy and consideration. By analyzing past and current experiences, our coaches will guide your family toward a better understanding of the factors that influence both productive and unproductive individual behavioral patterns and relational dynamics.
Family life can be a real challenge. Sometimes an objective perspective, with some practical tips, can make a huge difference.
The following is a list of the most common challenges facing families. Don't be alarmed! Admittedly, this isn't a fun list, but it is a very common one for many families. Unfortunately, many are struggling and they don't know exactly what to do to get out of these negative cycles.
"I thought it was hopeless. Our friends told us about James and Valerie and how helpful they had been to their family. We connected and quickly it was clear they had a solid plan and approach. The rest is history."
Family coaching is typically provided on a weekly basis for 60-120 minutes and provides opportunities for live, in-the-moment training as well as for direct teaching. The ultimate goal is for family members to work toward more productive functioning, even in the most challenging situations.
While therapy often focuses on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions, family coaching is action-oriented and focused on developing practical skills. We work on specific goals, teaching communication strategies, and creating systems that help your family function better together.
While the most effective coaching involves all family members, we can work with whoever is willing to participate. Often, changes in one family member's behavior positively influence the entire family dynamic. We meet you where you are.
We offer flexible options including in-home coaching, office visits, and virtual sessions. In-home coaching is particularly effective because we can observe family dynamics in their natural environment and provide real-time guidance.
The duration varies based on your family's specific challenges and goals. Some families see significant improvement in 8-12 sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. We'll work with you to create a plan that fits your needs.
Absolutely. Blended families face unique challenges including establishing new roles, managing relationships with ex-partners, and helping children adjust. We have extensive experience helping blended families build cohesion and navigate these complex dynamics.
"James knows so much about people and relationships. He taught us about motives, tactics, defenses and reactions. So we really understood the core messages causing the problems. Plus, he knew exactly how to blend humor, fun and play as he guided us to learn how to better relate to one another."
"We started with the mentoring for our son and through discussion with Shane it became clear we needed some help as parents and also with us all. It wasn't always easy or necessarily fun, but it was necessary. They helped us see more clearly and offered great ideas of how we could improve."
"Those guys are solid, good people who really care. They were flexible to meet our needs. They always had an answer to any question. A solution to any problem. We are forever grateful for De Andre and James and what they did for our family."
