Parent Coaching with Adolescent Support

Your kid isn't broken. The approach is.

You've tried therapy, books, being harder, being softer. None of it worked because none of it addressed what's actually happening. I help parents understand what's underneath the behavior and respond with clarity, boundaries, and connection.

If this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.

Every conversation turns into a fight.

Or worse, silence. You're walking on eggshells in your own home and nothing you say lands the way you mean it.

Therapy didn't change anything at home.

Your kid's been in sessions for months. You still don't know what's being worked on or what you're supposed to do differently.

You're stuck between too strict and too soft.

You've tried both. One pushes them away, the other lets them walk all over you. There's a middle ground and nobody's shown you where it is.

You feel like you're losing your kid.

They're shutting down, pulling away, or exploding. And you're exhausted from trying so hard with nothing to show for it.

How this works.

Parent Lab is where you learn what's underneath the behavior and what to say back, and you're not figuring it out alone because I'm on a live call with you every single week.

Step 1

Join today

$39 a month and you can cancel whenever. You're in right away, and the courses, the printable guides, and the Behavior Translator are all there the second you join.

Step 2

Bring it to Friday

Every Friday at 4:30 ET I get on a live call and coach parents through whatever blew up at home that week. Bring yours and we'll work through it live, and if you miss it the recording is waiting for you.

Step 3

Use it in the moment

When your kid slams the door or says something that hits, type it into the Behavior Translator and it'll show you what's going on underneath and what to say back. And if you need more support than that, Premium and 1:1 are right below.

I'm Jake.

I sit with teenagers every week. I hear what's really going on underneath the behavior. Not because you're a bad parent. Because your reaction matters too much for them to risk it.

I'm a parent coach and adolescent specialist with a Master's degree in clinical work. I work with families navigating the hard stuff and parents who want real guidance on how to stay connected while holding boundaries.

Most parents come to me after trying everything. Therapy, consequences, backing off, doubling down. None of it worked because none of it changed the environment the kid is responding to. I help parents understand what's actually happening in their teenager's nervous system and give them the tools to respond differently. When you shift, they shift.

I'm not here to blame you. I'm here to translate what your kid can't say and give you something you can actually use tonight.

“I'm really UNDERSTANDING more about why my teenage grandson acts the way he does, and how my responses can either help or hurt the situation. It's amazing how small changes are making things better.”

Christina E., Parent Lab member

“I particularly love the Behavior Translator. You are able to put in a specific situation you are going through and it helps explain your child's actions and gives you suggestions on how to communicate in a way that is supportive. I love the weekly meetings where parents can bring a specific issue to the group and Jake helps you figure out why it may be happening and what steps to take.”

Tracy F., Parent Lab member

“I have learned how to change my parenting tactics to work better for my nearly 16 year old son. I often now say to myself, “What would Jake do?” and implement that strategy and it works.”

Tammy W., Parent Lab member

“My daughter completely going from being so loving her whole life to completely detached and no relationship for months. Jake's educational material, Q and A groups and a great community have helped me thru really crappy days!”

L.B., Parent Lab member
