Parent Training & Coaching

Support for Parents of Children with ADHD and Autism

Being a parent of a neurodivergent child, especially after a new diagnosis, can feel overwhelming. Whether your child has recently been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), you don’t have to navigate this alone.

At Thriving Wellness Center, we offer personalized parent coaching and evidence-based parent training designed to empower you with tools, confidence, and clarity. Our services are grounded in compassion, backed by research, and tailored to meet your family's unique needs.

What is Parent Coaching?

Parent coaching is a collaborative, strengths-based process focused on equipping you with practical tools and a deeper understanding. Unlike therapy for your child, parent coaching is centered on you, the caregiver. We work with you to explore your child’s neurotype, decode behavior, and implement strategies that align with your values and goals.

Through our parent coaching and training, you'll gain practical tools to:

  • Understand how autism and ADHD influence your child’s behavior, learning style, and emotional regulation

  • Strengthen executive functioning and support greater independence at home and school

  • Establish realistic expectations and maintain consistent, predictable routines

  • Deepen your connection with your child through attuned, responsive parenting

  • Navigate school-related challenges, including IEPs, 504 plans, and classroom accommodations

  • Reduce meltdowns, shutdowns, and daily power struggles using compassionate, neurodiversity-affirming strategies

Our coaching is ideal for families seeking flexible, real-world support, available virtually or in-person.

You’ll also learn to:

  • Respond to challenging behaviors in constructive, non-punitive ways

  • Encourage positive behaviors through clear structure and reinforcement

  • Stay calm and communicate effectively, even during stressful moments

  • Build your child’s emotional resilience, flexibility, and self-confidence

Who We Support

We specialize in working with parents of:

  • Children newly diagnosed with autism (ASD) or ADHD

  • Children who mask or camouflage their challenges

  • Highly sensitive, rigid, or anxious children

  • Twice-exceptional children (2e: gifted + neurodivergent)

  • Children struggling with behavior at home or in school

We also support:

  • Neurodivergent parents seeking to parent in ways that honor both their needs and their child’s

  • Co-parents trying to get on the same page about strategies and expectations

  • Single parents who want tools, support, and encouragement

Our goal is to help you build a more peaceful, connected, and empowered home environment.

What to Expect

During the first session we learn about your family’s needs, challenges, and goals. From there, we tailor a coaching or training plan that may include:

  • Weekly or bi-weekly sessions (virtual or in-person)

  • Practical tools and strategies you can start using right away

  • Support around school advocacy and IEP/504 navigation

  • Feedback and reflection on what’s working—and what can shift

  • Ongoing encouragement, validation, and perspective

This work is not about "fixing" your child; it's about helping your family thrive.
