Parent coaching at Level-Up Life gives you the skills, language, and strategies to support a student with ADHD or executive functioning challenges without becoming the enforcer. It builds a skill set on your side of the dynamic, the same way our coaches build one on your student's.

Parent coaching is research-informed, professionally supervised coaching for the parent of a student with ADHD or executive functioning challenges. It is not family therapy.
Every engagement is supervised by Ryan Roberts, CMHC, our Clinical Director.
When your student is already enrolled, parent hours most often draw from their existing package.
Sessions run remotely, two to four times a month, and are built to be usable by the next morning.
This is for the parent of a student with ADHD or executive functioning challenges, most often the mom who's been the homework manager, the calendar, and the alarm clock for years. You can feel what that role is costing both of you, you can name the household pattern you'd like to change, and you're willing to work on your own side of it. It's usually the right fit when:
You've been managing your son or daughter's schoolwork for a while, and you're starting to suspect that helping more is quietly making things worse.
Conversations about school keep ending the same way, with one of you shutting down or voices rising, and nobody feeling good afterward.
Your student is in coaching, or stepping down from a residential program, and you're no longer sure what your role at home should be.
You want practical, repeatable language for the school conversations that come up every week, and you want your relationship with your kid back.
If your son or daughter is already in executive functioning coaching, ADHD coaching, or treatment transition coaching, parent coaching is the most common way families carry that work into the home. It also stands on its own. It's not the right fit for acute clinical needs or active custody litigation. For those, we'll point you toward Komi Counseling and Psychology, a separate clinical practice in the same building.
Parent coaching is direct, structured work with a parent (most often a mom) of a student with ADHD or executive functioning challenges. Together we cover three things: what's actually happening in your kid's brain, the communication strategies that hold up in the conversations you have every week, and how to stay engaged with their coaching without becoming the one who enforces it.
This is coaching, not family therapy. We're not diagnosing your child or processing family-of-origin material. We're building a skill set on your side of the dynamic, the same way our coaches build one on your student's. Every engagement is supervised by Ryan Roberts, our CEO and Clinical Director, who holds a Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CMHC) license. When a family's needs go beyond coaching, we refer to Komi Counseling and Psychology, a separate clinical practice in the same building.
Parent coaching sessions run 60 minutes, happen remotely, and are scheduled two to four times a month. Each one starts with a real resistance point you bring in, and from there we work through it together using our Assess, Interpret, Troubleshoot, Teach and Repeat method. In practice, a session usually lands on some version of these four things:
01
We rebuild it together, looking at what you meant to say, what your kid actually heard, and what you'd do differently next time. You walk away with a repeatable approach you can lean on, not a script to memorize.
02
We look at what the homework fight is really about, what the morning routine is costing everyone, and what each recurring snag is actually pointing to.
03
You leave with concrete phrasing: how to set an expectation without becoming the enforcer, how to ask about school out of real curiosity, how to name what you're seeing without it turning into a lecture.
04
Almost every parent arrives with the same question: how do I help without taking over? So we spend real time on the line between supporting your kid and managing them.
These are the shifts parents tend to tell us about, grouped by where they tend to land.
The homework conversation stops ending in a fight, usually within the first month, and the midnight grade-portal check loses its grip. The data hasn't changed; your relationship to it has.
You start reaching for a different sentence in the moment, and it comes faster than the old one used to, and your student begins answering questions about school again, not always cheerfully, but they answer.
You stop having to choose between holding your kid accountable and staying the parent your kid trusts, and you put your own needs back on the list, and you can feel the difference.
When your student is already a Level-Up Life client, parent coaching coordinates directly with their coach, openly and with your student's awareness rather than behind their back.
When your student is already a Level-Up Life client, parent coaching coordinates directly with their coach, openly and with your student's awareness rather than behind their back, so the work you're doing at home reinforces the work happening in session.
Many families draw their parent coaching hours from the student's existing package, which keeps the family work bundled rather than billed separately.
And if your student isn't enrolled, parent coaching still stands on its own as a standalone program for the parent.
Parent coaching is $150 per hour for standalone sessions. If you'd rather settle into a steady cadence, two package options bring the per-hour rate down:
When your student is already enrolled in executive functioning, ADHD, or treatment transition coaching, your parent sessions most often draw from their existing package hours rather than billing separately. There are no contracts at any price point, and sessions never expire. Our transparent pricing page shows how this rate fits alongside our other programs.
Insurance companies haven't deemed coaching medically necessary, so we can't bill insurance. Some HSA and FSA administrators do reimburse when ADHD Coaching is billed as the service line, though confirming whether our program qualifies under your plan is the family's responsibility. We're not clinicians, so we don't provide insurance documentation.

Yes. Standalone parent coaching is $150 per hour, with 6- and 10-session packages available. Some parents start on their own and enroll their student later; others use parent coaching entirely on their own.
Most parents do two to four sessions a month. Weekly works well when you're building a skill quickly or stabilizing a household pattern, and biweekly fits ongoing maintenance once things settle.
Parent coaching focuses on your skills and communication, not on monitoring your student's sessions. Their coach doesn't relay session content to you, and there's no homework dashboard. Keeping the work separate is exactly what lets your student engage without feeling watched.
No. Parent coaching builds skills, language, and communication strategies. Family therapy addresses clinical mental health dynamics in a therapeutic relationship, delivered by licensed clinicians. For families who need that, we refer to Komi Counseling and Psychology, a separate clinical practice in the same building.
It isn't required, but it helps when both of you are actively involved in your student's daily life, since a consistent approach at home reinforces the work and cuts the resistance that comes from mixed signals. Single-parent, divorced, and single-point-of-contact households are all common here.
Yes. The "parent" in parent coaching is really shorthand for whichever adult is most actively engaged in the student's daily life. Stepparents, grandparents raising a grandchild, and adult siblings in caregiving roles all fit. The work is about the household, not the legal relationship.
A first conversation is a 15- to 30-minute phone consultation. We listen to what’s going on and give you an honest read on whether parent coaching is the right fit, whether that’s parent coaching on its own, alongside a program for your student, or starting with our free monthly workshops as a no-pressure way in. And if you’re still weighing options, For Parents walks through each one.
