About Empower Coaching

Hi, I'm Kate Sjostrom.

As a parent and coach, I bring over 25 years experience in the social work and mental health fields, and integrate this into what I love to do most... support parents in their quest to help their children.

As I reflect on all the work I have done, whether it has been in a pediatrician's office offering mental health consulting or doing children's therapy through my private practice, it is clear the critical ingredient in children's progress is parental involvement.

Often times, parents report feeling very alone in the journey towards helping their child. Getting the guidance and support you need can help you become the confident and empowered parent you have always wanted to be.

How Does Parent Coaching Work?

We collaborate in coaching sessions to focus on the strengths you already have as a parent and to identify and address the challenges you are experiencing.

I can help you strengthen your parenting skills in several areas:

Understanding Behavior: Get to the root causes of challenging behaviors and gain insights that allow you to respond more effectively and compassionately.
Emotional Regulation: Learn techniques to help your child manage their emotions effectively, fostering a calmer and more harmonious home environment.
Improving Connection: Become more skilled in attuning to your child and enhance the connection with your child through improved communication strategies and a deeper understanding of their emotional and developmental needs.
