Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Parent Coaching for?

Parent Coaching is ideal for parents of adolescents and young adults who are struggling with behavioral, emotional, or family system challenges. It’s especially helpful for families who have tried traditional therapy or treatment and are seeking practical, ongoing support for real-world change.

How does coaching differ from therapy?

Coaching focuses on the present and future—building strategies, communication skills, and family structure—while therapy often explores emotional healing and past experiences. Coaching is not mental health treatment and does not diagnose clinical conditions.

Can all parents participate in coaching?

Absolutely. We encourage all caregivers to attend when possible. Working together as a team enhances alignment and consistency at home.

Can you work with divorced co-parents individually?

Yes. We will work out situations that will work best for your family situation.

How many sessions should we plan for?

While some families find clarity after a few sessions, most benefit from a series of ongoing meetings over several weeks or months. Your coach will recommend a plan based on your family’s goals and progress.

What if we already have a therapist or treatment team?

Parent Coaching and Training complements existing professional support. We’re happy to collaborate with your therapist, educational consultant, or other providers through our Professional Collaboration option.

How do we get started?

Simply schedule an call to talk with us about options. You’ll discuss your goals, explore next steps, and begin building a personalized plan for your family.

What Parents are Saying

I needed the rulebook. Just being honest. I thought I needed my son to change and get his life together as a young adult. Turns out I needed to understand why he was falling apart and step in not to fight or force but to teach and show him that he wasn't alone. It's hard to admit that sometimes but I was the one that needed the help. Thanks for the training and Direction- It made all the difference.

Paul was absolutely wonderful working with us and our kids from late teens through early 20s! He had great insights into what was going on with our kids’ struggles, and he gave truly helpful ideas and tips on how to address those issues! Paul’s help, along with our own therapy, has
significantly improved relationships with our young adults!

Turns out the answer wasn't about my kid changing! It was me changing to make room for my daughter to change with me. I did my work and then things could be different- Eternal thanks to my Trainer for the skills and coaching!

MPChicago

As a dad I know that I have always struggled with the emotional part of connecting with my kids. All I wanted was a playbook for how to interact and handle the situations that came up with my kids. Turns out I just needed to be guided by a trainer to learn the skills and then write my own playbook of what worked for me with all my "stuff" taken into account. This work changed everything for me and my kids.

Every now and then you meet someone in your life who is so good at what they do they inspire you to want to be a better person. This is how I feel about Robert Trout, a parent trainer and therapeutic professional with exceptional skill sets and a compassionate heart. Robert worked with my wife and I on the ‘parenting side’ of the family dynamic. This was profoundly useful because we could explore the ways in which we live together as a family.

I am your biggest Fan! So much help and direction in supporting my daughters recovery and our families restructuring to find a way of "Being" together in our new roles and way of connecting. The hardest work but the most rewarding along the way.

God I wish I found this training and coaching years ago! Things would have been so different. I'm so Grateful I found it now- Such a difference in how we live now as a family!

ASNew York City

I didn't want therapy- Thats all I really knew. Turns out what I needed was some training on how to work with my son. I didn't even know that was an option until finding these trainers. I like the proactive approach and the problem solving strategies are most impactful.

I tell every parent about this company- I am convinced that they can help them as much as its helped me.

MALos Angeles

3 adult kids- as a single mom I need help when they struggle. It's been a lifesaver to have my coach there to go over things and to make a plan that is more directed than reactive. I love my kids and I needed my coach to bounce things off of and have a plan that is not "just me"
