  • Are you a NonTraditional Family?

    The Traditional Parent of today was the Nontraditional Parent of yesterday. You need the right tools for the job of parenting as a single, divorced, step, blended, foster, adoptive, or relative caregiver family. Let Ron Huxley coach you with a tailored plan that fits your situation...

  • Parenting is hard! YOU need to be heard!

    Having someone who understands and is willing to listen is invaluable today. You can probably count on one hand the number of people who really listen. Everyone has advice but few hear and validate you! Ron is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 30 years of experience and is ready to coach you through the challenges of parenting.

Adoption Coaching is a powerful solution to create power-FULL people...

Adoption coaching integrates the best research on neuroscience, psychology, attachment research, and behavioral studies. Don't worry, Ron Huxley will provide this in a practical, real-world way that will meet your individual needs.

Adoption Coaching is Trauma-Informed

The trauma-informed parent looks at rebuilding relationships from the inside out versus the outside in. Instead of focusing on rewards and punishments, it creates real change through emotional safety, connection, and regulation. Parenting tools will be provided that use the parent as the source of grounding and regulation. The parent must understand their own trauma history and respond to themselves and the child in ways that prevent retraumatization.
