CLAIR WHITE COACHING
1:1 Coaching Services
one-time consultation: establish a WHole health plan
Meet once to establish a plan to move you toward emotional, cognitive, physical, relational, and spiritual health. Identify practices in each area that promote health specifically for you. Recognize and address current and past barriers to health. Explore potential new practices to include in a holistic plan that you can start using immediately.
one-time consultation: establish a parenting plan
Meet once to examine discipline practices and identify effective ways to address current family concerns. Work together to name your family's core values, explore communication and discipline strategies that align with those values, and apply those strategies to common challenges you experience at home. Emphasis is on establishing a plan for how to address challenges moving forward, rather than processing past concerns.
one-time consultation: establish a conflict management plan
Using examples of recent family conflicts, we identify common interactions and patterns that lead to escalation. All will recognize factors that contribute to escalating tension between family members. Recommendations will be made for disrupting the conflict cycle by identifying ways that each participant can engage differently. Ongoing skills training and coaching available for individuals and/or family.
Ongoing INDIVIDUAL Coaching
Meet weekly or as needed to address emotional, mental, behavioral, social, and/or relational concerns of women and children individually. Specific skills training to address both adult and kid challenges is included. I use creative approaches and play to engage young children, assess for areas of concern, and to work through topics that are often difficult for children and families to talk about directly. Although I do not conduct formal assessments, I am knowledgeable about diagnostic criteria and can share observations and recommendations related to specific areas of concern. When more intensive services (i.e. therapy) are indicated, assistance with referrals is provided.
ongoing parent coaching
Meet weekly or as needed to establish effective communication and discipline practices. Approach is nonjudgmental and customized to your family’s particular context. I objectively listen and identify interaction patterns, habits, and dynamics that exist between parents and children. We collaborate to determine which habits would be helpful to change, identify alternative strategies to implement, address how to enact those changes, and assess their effectiveness over time. Recognizing each family’s unique context, dynamics, and values, I do not prescribe generalized strategies. Rather, together we identify what practices align with the values that you, as parents, desire to instill in your kids and reinforce through each interaction (including discipline).
Meet weekly or as needed to address dynamics within the family. My goal is to help children and parents create and maintain an environment wherein all family members feel comfortable appropriately sharing their concerns, so the family is equipped and able to work through ongoing challenges as a body. Focus is often on communication, interactional patterns, discipline, and relationships that exist between all family members.
