Parent Coaching
Meet one of our Certified Parent Coaches…
“After my young adult was enrolled at New Perspectives, I was introduced to parent coaching and the lifeline it offered. The results were so rewarding, I became a certified parent coach, passionately dedicated to assisting others reclaim part of their lives and achieve a more meaningful and healthier relationship with their neurodiverse young adult. Today, as a cancer survivor and thriver, with a stronger and continually improving bond between my own neurodiverse young adult and me, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, kayaking and appreciating the beauty of nature, yoga and having fun such as escape rooms, board games or playing in the rain. ”

“Over the years and to this day, whenever I have needed support with my neurodiverse young adult son, I have always looked to Victoria, who has raised her own neurodiverse young adult. Her parent coaching abilities are outstanding. She listens attentively and provides insightful and empathetic guidance. With her by my side, I have been able to change my perspective and accept the difficult reality of my son's situation, set needed boundaries and maintain an appropriate relationship with my troubled son on an ongoing basis. While I have had experiences with other coaches, none were as understanding or effective as Victoria.”

“I can't express how grateful I am for Victoria's guidance as a parent coach. Her expertise in helping us navigate my brother's mental illness and addiction was invaluable. She provided us with compassionate and practical advice, offering insights that brought clarity to a challenging situation. Victoria's support not only helped my parents but also gave me a better understanding of how to approach these sensitive issues.”

“I had the pleasure of Victoria as my health coach for a few months. I struggle so much with the ever overwhelming task to begin a new habit, even one I strongly wish to incorporate. With her help I was able to create a realistic set of goals as well as identify the underlying emotional struggles beneath the surface that were holding me back from living the life I so deeply wanted.
She has a reassuring and gentle no nonsensical presence that helped to keep me accountable on my health journey. For me having someone to hold me accountable greatly lends to success in following through on doing things I need to do for myself as I often am so focused on the needs of others.
She has an astute intuition and asks deeply thought provoking questions that helped me to procure my own self-reflective ah-ha moments. I found this to be quite impactful for my personal growth far beyond my physical health goals, as the mind and body are so intertwined.
I am curious and cautiously optimistic by nature so I take a bit of time to ground upon an opinion. I can say with certainty that if you are someone needing support and are willing to look at yourself in a deeper, more honest way, ready to take charge of your health, and most importantly do the work I highly recommend working with Victoria.
I’m so grateful for your support, gentle honesty, and for the detailed written summaries of our sessions. My work with you was illuminating and so helpful! ”
