Kind Words from Clients

“We are so incredibly thankful that we were referred to contact Alison for parent coaching! As the adoptive parents of a teenager, we had received a lot of training on trauma, attachment, etc., but Alison met us where we were to coach us on parenting our specific teen. She used our strengths as individuals and as a couple to foster a parenting style that we could practice and make our own, while also acknowledging our teen’s individual learning style, personality, and history. We learned so much from Alison, and she approached each session from a place of humility, humor, and openness. Every session she prepared for us was well-researched and based on her experience and knowledge. After every session, she sent us a detailed summary of what we had discussed, takeaways, and things to practice over the next week. It is clear that Alison puts her full self and all of her knowledge and experience into each of her clients. We highly recommend Alison!!”

Kind words from families

“Working with Alison has been a game-changer for our family. We have complex challenges around mental health and learning disabilities - Alison was familiar with these challenges and the potential resources available. She supported me, which made me feel more capable of supporting my family. Highly recommend.”

— Rachel (Mother of three ages 7, 5, 4)

“Alison could not be a more supportive, validating, and educational parenting coach. Alison helped me find clarity on where I thought I was struggling in parenting, where I was actually struggling in parenting, and then worked with me to find successful ways to address those difficult areas. She brought knowledge and expertise while maintaining a humble and accepting stance that made it comfortable for me to talk through even the most challenging (and embarrassing) parenting moments. I am, without a doubt, a better parent and partner as a result of our work together.”

— Shimrit (Mother of three ages 5, 7, 12)

“Alison is an amazing coach and I highly recommend her! She is genuine and friendly making it very easy to talk to her. I came to her struggling to find a way to maintain a strong relationship with each of my three young kids, and for advice on how to help them foster a supportive relationship with each other as they get older. Alison helped me gather all my thoughts and suggested great exercises to try at home followed by a discussion the next week. I always looked forward to our weekly calls and appreciated the helpful summary to stay on task.”

— Kimberly (Mother of four ages 22, 9, 7, 5)

“I had the pleasure of working with Alison as my parenting coach and I can't recommend her enough! She combines empathy with genuine care, and her guidance has greatly improved how I approach issues faced with my toddler. Her personalized strategies and insights have made a tangible difference and understanding within our family. Working with Alison has been an absolute game-changer and I'm grateful for the positive impact she's had on my parenting.”

— Jenni (Mother of two ages 3, 8 months)

“We are incredibly grateful for the work Alison has done. She has been incredible in her communication and her collaboration with our child, who has navigated an eating disorder and coming out as trans.”
