Child or Adolescent Issues
S. Abigail McCarrel : Welcome Home Family Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, DCSW
I have been working with children and adolescents for over thirty years. In that time, I have evolved in my practice to work only with children and young adolescents in the context of family therapy. Since I am a family therapist, I see the family as a system with the parents at the top of the hierarchy. They are the leaders and the ones with the power and authority in the family. So, to help the complex and challenging kiddos in my practice, I provide a combination of parent and family therapy. I work intensely with parents to understand their children and see beyond the behaviors. As the parents begin to change, so does the child and the family as a whole.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
We want parents to know that behavioral problems are relational problems. Anytime we work with a child, we work with the parent because anything that goes from the parent to the child is way more meaningful and effective than anything that goes from us to your child, because you have the permanent relationship. While we work with the child we look at ways in which parents can strengthen their relational bonds with their child and crystalize their child's trust and respect for them.

Unlocking the Power of GRIT in Children: Fostering Resilience, Independence, and Growth
GRIT, that remarkable ability to persevere in the pursuit of long-term goals even when faced with adversity, is a quality we all desire for our children. It's the cornerstone of resilience, a vital trait that paves the way for independence and success. And at Well Coached Life, we believe in cultivating GRIT in children from the earliest possible age.
GRIT Kids—Who Are They?
GRIT Kids represent a diverse spectrum of young individuals, ranging from the bold to the timid, the curious to the cautious, the serious to the playful. They encompass children between the ages of 2 and 12, each on their unique journey of self-discovery and growth.
The GRIT Kids Mission:
At Well Coached Life, we've established GRIT Kids with a singular purpose: to provide parents and caregivers with the tools and guidance they need to nurture self-awareness in their children at every developmental stage. We understand that simple behavioral management isn't enough to cultivate the internal locus of control required for character development and self-discipline.
Why GRIT Matters:
GRIT is more than just a buzzword; it's a vital life skill. It's about teaching children to persevere, adapt, and transform in the face of challenges. It's about fostering curiosity about their own thoughts and feelings, enabling them to develop insight, evolve, and embrace their unique potential.
Our Expert GRIT Kids Coaches:
Our dedicated team of GRIT Kids Coaches is specially trained to assist you in the intentional upbringing of your child. We provide the guidance and support needed to help your child form a strong self-identity, learn to live with purpose, and grow into their fullest, most capable self.
Join Us on This Journey:
Let's cultivate GRIT in your child as soon as possible. Together, we'll empower them to face life's challenges with resilience, independence, and unwavering determination. With Well Coached Life and GRIT Kids, your child's path to personal growth and self-discovery begins today.

Christian Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Having worked for a number for years as a school counselor and youth pastor I understand the unique challenges kids/teens face as well as what parents go through trying to help them. Every child is unique and needs an approach that is tailored uniquely to them and the family. In our work together, I help clients cultivate not only practical skills but identity level understandings that allow kids/teens to increase in confidence and self-esteem, conflict management, and their ability to process traumatic events (bullying, divorce, etc). Contact me for more information.
