Parent Coaching in Holly Springs, NC

"I love my child more than anything... so why does parenting feel so hard?"

If you've found yourself googling parenting advice at 2:00 a.m., wondering if you're messing your child up, or feeling like every day turns into another power struggle, you are far from alone.

Parenting doesn’t come with all the answers and most of us are raising children without having been shown what healthy emotional regulation, boundaries, or repair actually look like ourselves.

At Solace Therapeutic Services, we don't believe parents need more judgment or more generic parenting tips. We believe you need support, practical tools, and someone who can help you understand what's actually happening underneath your child's behavior and in your own reactions.

Whether you're navigating tantrums, anxiety, defiance, school refusal, emotional outbursts, ADHD, or just feeling overwhelmed by the mental load of parenting, we're here to help.

We Help With:

• Frequent meltdowns, tantrums, or emotional outbursts
• Defiance, power struggles, and constant conflict
• Anxiety, perfectionism, or big emotions in children and teens
• School refusal or school-related anxiety
• ADHD and executive functioning challenges
• Parenting after trauma, divorce, or major life changes
• Improving communication with your child or teen
• Building healthy boundaries without yelling, fear, or shame
• Parenting when you're exhausted, burnt out, or questioning yourself
• Breaking generational patterns and parenting differently than you were raised

You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from parent coaching. Sometimes you just want things to feel easier.

Parent Coaching Might Be Right for You If...

• You constantly wonder if you're being too strict... or not strict enough.
• You leave every difficult interaction feeling guilty.
• You've tried all the parenting advice on social media, but none of it seems to fit your child.
• You feel like you're walking on eggshells around your child's emotions.
• You're tired of yelling, threatening consequences, or repeating yourself a hundred times.
• You want to break cycles from your own childhood—but aren't sure what to do instead.

What Parent Coaching Looks Like

Parent coaching is different from traditional parenting classes. Instead of one-size-fits-all advice, we focus on your child, your family, and the situations you're facing right now.

Sessions might include:

Behavioral Synthesis – Understanding why certain behaviors keep happening and mapping dynamic alternatives.

De-escalation Mechanics – Learning how to respond without accidentally escalating the conflict loop.

Structural Scaffolding – Developing sustainable routines and intentional boundaries that actually stick.

Parallel Regulation – Practicing specific somatic regulation skills for both you and your child to settle the shared space.

Real-Time Audits – Problem-solving live parenting challenges as they arise, helping you feel more confident in your daily decisions.

Sometimes your child attends therapy. Sometimes parents come without their child. Sometimes we do both. We'll help determine what makes the most sense for your family.

What to Expect

We'll start with a free 15-minute consultation to learn more about what's been going on and answer any questions you have. From there, we'll create a plan that fits your family's goals, which may include:

• Parent coaching sessions
• Individual therapy for your child or teen
• Family therapy sessions
• Collaboration with schools, pediatricians, or other providers when appropriate
• In-person sessions in Holly Springs, NC or virtual appointments anywhere in North Carolina

We are an out-of-network practice but provide superbills if you'd like to submit for insurance reimbursement.
