Meg McGuire
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Families (parents, siblings and partners) are often profoundly affected by the mental health challenges of their loved ones. I find that families not only find it difficult to understand the nuances of diagnoses like eating disorders, addiction and personality disorders, but they also struggle to know what to say or do when interacting with their loved ones. I provide coaching to help families navigate these unique situations, which includes communication strategies, boundary setting techniques and psychoeducation.

The Mindful Life with Lori Kahn
Life Coach, Certified Integrative Coach, Certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher, Certified Neurofeedback
I specialize in "mindful parenting" with tools and techniques to practice patience, understanding, empathy and compassion first for how we as parents get triggered and react from what we know from our own upbringing. With that awareness we can begin to choose our reactions, see the change and even develop new healthy family habits of mindful communication.

Gretchen Weisenburger Carrillo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
It can be overwhelming striking that balance of holding kids accountable (limits, time outs, behavior contracts etc) and just enjoying them and having fun. No one dreams of being either too strict or too lenient. Gretchen works with individuals and couples looking to strengthen their skills and confidence working with kids. Gretchen is trained in the Positive Parenting Program (levels 3-4) as well as Parent Child Interaction Therapy. She worked for the County of Orange MHSA program to roll out large scale evidence based training in the area of parenting for county providers and homeless shelters. She is parent herself of two young adults.

Dr. David Shapiro
Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
Parent coaching is frequently a focus of the work I do. I support parents in shifting out of using anger and intimidation while at the same time maintaining healthy authority and responsibility with their kids. Often I assist in developing and implementing rewards based behavior management strategies, as well as in integrating positive parenting approaches. Reunification of parents with children when their has been some kind of disruption to their parenting relationship is an area in which I have considerable experience, as is helping divorced and divorcing couples effectively co-parent.

Nurturing the Future: Elevating Parenting with GRIT Kids at Well Coached Life
Parenting is a profound journey filled with joys and challenges, and at Well Coached Life, we believe in equipping parents and caregivers with the tools to raise resilient, self-aware, and purpose-driven children. Our GRIT Kids program is designed to help you empower your child to better understand themselves and the world around them, fostering the growth of character, self-discipline, and a strong sense of self-identity.
The GRIT Kids Philosophy:
GRIT Kids exists to support parents and caregivers in the essential work of nurturing self-awareness in their children, from the earliest developmental stages and beyond. We understand that simply relying on behavioral management techniques often falls short in developing the internal locus of control necessary for character development and self-discipline.
Empowering Young Hearts and Minds:
Raising a child who is not only self-aware but also purpose-driven is a transformative and lifelong endeavor. At Well Coached Life, we recognize that forming a self-identity and learning to live with intention are vital life skills for children. Our GRIT Kids Coaches are specially trained to guide you on this journey, providing you with the knowledge, tools, and support you need to help your child flourish.

With the guidance of Well Coached Life's GRIT Kids program, you can embark on a journey of intentional parenting. Witness your child's growth as they evolve into their fullest, most capable selves, equipped with the self-awareness, character, and resilience needed to thrive in today's world.

Provia Psychology
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LCSW, AMFT, APCC
When counseling parents, we try to emphasize good communication skills as part of the foundation of any parental relationship and utilize our vast training and experience to help families break negative cycles and see themselves as being on the same team, rather than as adversaries as they work through specific issues that are a challenge to having a healthy and fulfilling relationship.
