Beside Still Water Coaching
Michelle L McNamara M.S., LMFT-A, BCC I equip parents to navigate the often tumultuous tween, teen, and young adult years.
About
As a coach, I help parents navigate the tumultuous tween, teen, and young adult years — the transitions and shifts that leave so many of us wondering:
✦ Why does the way I parented at 8 not work anymore at 14?
✦ How do I get my child to talk to me?
✦ When is it my job to rescue them — and when am I just getting in the way?
✦ What does it look like to mentor my child rather than police them?
✦ How do I hold onto my values without pushing my child away?
If any of these sound familiar, you're not alone — and you don't have to figure it out on your own. I'm also a parent myself, working through the same ups and downs of this season alongside you — this isn't just theory I studied, it's a road I'm walking too.
I'm trained in coaching psychology as a Board Certified Coach and in Systems Theory as a Marriage and Family Therapist, drawing on Structural, Multigenerational, and Solution-Focused approaches. In practice, that means I help you find your footing again: staying calm through the storms of this season, compassionate with yourself and your family, and connected to your loved ones even in disagreement.
Curious if this is a fit? Let's talk — I offer a free 15-minute consultation to start.
To the journey ahead,
Michelle
