Parent Coaching for Teens and Young Adults
Set Boundaries. Rebuild Trust. Stay Connected.
Parenting a teen or young adult in today’s world is no small task.
Whether your child is defiant, withdrawn, struggling with substance use, or just hard to reach, the constant stress can feel like too much.
You’ve tried everything—open conversations, consequences, even therapy or treatment.
But now they’re back home (or never left), and you're still walking on eggshells.
You’re stuck in the cycle of nagging, worrying, and not knowing what else to do.
That’s where I come in.
Does Any Of This Sound Familiar?
-
“My teen doesn’t respect the rules—or me.”
-
“I want to help, but I don’t want to enable.”
-
“I’m constantly worried they’ll relapse or spiral again.”
-
“Every conversation turns into a fight or shutdown.”
-
“I just want peace in my home—and my kid back.”
Whether your teen has a history of substance use or is simply testing boundaries, pushing buttons, or shutting you out, parent coaching offers a clear, compassionate path forward.
You Need More Than Hope. You Need a Plan.
Hi, I’m Susan Morley, Parenting Coach, Family Recovery Coach, and mom of two grown kids.
Since 2009, I’ve helped hundreds of families rebuild communication, restore structure, and finally stop the cycle of conflict and chaos.
Whether your teen is struggling with addiction, independence, or just being a teen in today’s fast-moving world I help parents regain their confidence and rebuild their relationship.
What Parent Coaching Can Help You Do:
✅ Set and hold boundaries without yelling, guilt, or shutdowns
✅ Learn communication strategies that your teen actually responds to
✅ Navigate screen time, sleep, school avoidance, or emotional outbursts
✅ Support your teen’s independence without enabling harmful behaviors
✅ Recognize early warning signs—and respond with clarity and calm
✅ Shift from conflict to connection in your parent-child relationship
You don’t need to be your child’s therapist.
You need to be their calm, clear, consistent parent—and I’ll show you how.
Private Parent Sessions
We’ll start with your goals—what you want to see shift, and what’s getting in the way. You’ll get personalized, practical strategies that reflect your values, your teen’s needs, and your family dynamic.
Family Coaching
For families needing a reset, I facilitate structured family meetings that build trust, improve communication, and help everyone get back on the same team.
Ongoing Support
Parenting doesn’t happen on a schedule. You’ll have direct access to me via text, email, and video—so you’re never left to guess in the moment.

Frequently Asked Questions
These are some of the questions parents most frequently ask:
Shouldn't I Be Able to Figure This Out On My Own?
So many moms think parenting is supposed to be a struggle -- they don't get help or get the correct strategies because they think they need to handle it by themselves, and they're afraid that getting help means that they're failing as a mom.
They think the struggle needs to be part of the process.
My Parenting Partner Won't Go For This.
I hear different versions of this one a lot. But the truth is, it's not about your parenting partner.
Yes, it would be so much easier if you and your parenting partner were on the same page but that's just not realistic for all families.
You each grew up in different households and are now in one household with a strong-willed child who exhausts you.
You may not even be able to spend time with your parenting partner because you're so exhausted by the end of the day you fall asleep while reading bedtime stories.
And you know what? Waiting for your parenting partner to join you for coaching is costing you the time and energy that you could be spending together (without the kids). Although I welcome both parents to participate in sessions, it is not a requirement.
Changes made by one parent are sufficient enough to create positive, lasting change.
And one thing I see time after time is when one parent makes positive changes, the other parent will adopt those positive changes as well. Start making positive changes by scheduling a call today.
I'm Not Ready To Hire Someone...Maybe I'll Wait To See If Things Get Better
Look - - this is a program that does involve a financial investment but as a result, you'll get a LOT of personalized support and parenting solutions. The moms who get the fastest and longest-lasting results are ones who reach out and get my support frequently (even daily!). The more you get support, the more value you will get from one of my programs. You can have me with you, holding your hand in every step of parenting and that is something that therapists can't do.
You're actually going to save yourself so much time and energy using my parenting strategies that you will have time to relax because your child will be more independent and well-behaved.
I'm Not Ready To Hire Someone...Maybe I'll Wait To See If Things Get Better
Can I be honest?? This is my favorite excuse to help you overcome. Most of you are currently "overworking" yourself in your family BECAUSE you don't have the correct structure. After all, you never intended to be the mom of a child who refuses to listen, sasses you, hits other children, fights you over every.little.thing --- but now that you are, you want things to be different.
