Parent Coaching
At Self Made Psychology, we offer both skills-based and IFS-informed parenting coaching that helps you understand your own emotional responses, build deeper connections with your child, and parent from a place of presence instead of reactivity.
Our approach supports your goals by helping you grow stronger, more connected relationships with your children, while limiting shame, reactivity, or burnout.
By helping you explore how the different parts of you show up in parenting – like your anxieties, your perfectionism, and more – and encouraging compassionate acceptance over criticism, we are able to support you in parenting from your most present, centered, and conscious self.
Parenting is hard work — especially when you’re trying to do it differently than how you were parented.
Individual Therapy
*Parenting coaching can be offered as a time-limited or on-going intervention. Please consult with your therapist to determine the timeline that supports your goals best.

Gender/Identity Embodiment Coaching
Gender coaching is a supportive, affirming space to explore your gender identity and expression in ways that feel grounded, authentic, and empowered.
Our work helps you connect with your truth, navigate uncertainty, and build emotional resilience.
Coaching is distinct from therapy—it's a collaborative, forward-focused process designed to help you explore your gender identity and expression in a supportive, affirming space.
