Family coaching is a process where one or more members of a family partners with a coach to address goals that will ultimately improve their family dynamics. Every family has their own group dynamics and unique structures, we work to support them all.  Just like a smaller corporation, families need help. They need to communicate about their shared values, beliefs and goals and see where they are aligned and where they may be out of sync. There are all sorts of tools a coach can use to help families leverage their strengths as well as help decrease the noise in what may hold each person back from achieving their goals.

Think of the family as its own organization. It often requires work to grow as individuals and situations change.

​

Some of the things that can be addressed are the following:

​

• Empowerment of all members within the family

• Improved communication

• Stronger relationships

• Increased respect

• Increased confidence

• Increased balance

• Improved ability to make decisions

• Improved time management

• Improved peace

• Improved day-to-day living

• Conflict resolution

Family coaches help families and individuals identify their various values, wants, needs and goals and helps the members come up with strategies to reach these goals as well as keep them accountable. Coaches work on leveraging the strengths of individuals and groups as well as call attention to areas where they have room for improvement to help make forward progress.

Family coaching is not therapy. Coaches do not diagnose problems or determine illnesses. We will focus less on the past and more on who and where the family is right now, to help determine the future. Therapists tend to focus more on past behaviors and how they have impacted current situations - the WHY. Family coaches will focus on the present and work more on helping the client move toward a goal - the HOW.
