Ms. Carol Jean Timmons
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
From my own experience of parenting and grand parenting comes a heart for parents to learn how to effectively deal with their children! Never before in history has there been so much information available on the subject of parenting! And never before has there been so much confusion on the part of parents as to how best to parent - especially in this era of social media! We tend to replicate or react to the parenting we received as children. But there are tested and proven principles of parenting that can help parents learn the art and skill of dealing effectively with their children. Our goal is to raise responsible adults, not just obedient children.

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.

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.
Embrace Intentional Parenting:
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.
Join Us on the Journey:
Parenthood is an extraordinary adventure, and it's never too early or too late to empower your child with the life skills they need to succeed. Join us at Well Coached Life and embark on a path to raising children who understand themselves, their purpose, and the limitless potential that lies within them. Together, we'll nurture the future.

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.

Find ways to cope with the most challenging parts of parenting and find ways to create joy/meaning in your role as a parent. Parenting therapy also helps parents identify, address, and manage their own past or present experiences that may be affecting the way they relate to their child.

Emily Echeverria
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, MS
I know you love your child more than anything, and I also know that in addition to being infinitely rewarding, being a parent can also be pretty dang hard. Balancing your own needs with the needs of everyone else who relies on you is not an easy task. I help parents with parenting techniques and improving the parent-child relationship, but my main focus is emotional support. I firmly believe that in order to take care of others, we must take care of ourselves. The kinder and more patient you are with yourself, the more kind and patient you can be with your child - and the more you can model for your child how they can be good to themselves. You are already doing an amazing job, let's work together to decrease conflict in the home and increase the well-being of you, your child, and your family.

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.
