Parent Coaching
Child and Teen Solutions (CATS) is a mental health clinic based in Seattle, Washington. We are staffed by psychologists and therapists who specialize in children, teens, young adults, and parent coaching. We offer both in-person and telehealth services. Our office is located in the beautiful lakefront Madison Park neighborhood.
We consider parents to be their child’s number one resource. We can often effectively intervene with child problems by providing guidance to parents, even without ongoing therapy sessions with the child. Such a model can be cost-effective while maximizing strengths that already exist within the family. Although some children and teens are truly best served by working directly with a provider, others may be not be developmentally ready to productively engage in therapy. Also, some youths may feel daunted by regular therapy sessions, whether because of busy schedules, a sense of shame, or resistance to getting help.
