A Note from Gloria DeGaetano, PCI Founder….

Being a parent is the most sacred work we do. Granted, while it's the most challenging work we will ever do, it's also the most rewarding. Our children are so precious to us. They clearly deserve our very best.

That is why at the Parent Coaching Institute, we provide you with professional parent coaches, trained carefully and thoughtfully, so that you can be the best parent you want to be.

The PCI has been offering coaching to parents since 2000. We have a proven track record. I invite you to read what parents are saying about their experience working with a PCI Parent Coach.

If you would like to call me directly at (425) 401-1519 or (888) 599-4447, I would be delighted to talk with you personally about PCI Parent Coaching. I can put you in touch with a parent who has experienced working with one of our highly qualified and skilled parent coaches. See for yourself what we do, how we do it, and the tremendous positive difference PCI Parent Coaching has made in the lives of so many families.

Sincerely,

Gloria DeGaetano

What Parents Are Saying About Their
Coaching Experience with PCI Parent Coaches….

"My coach at the PCI helped me understand myself better, got me on a much-needed daily schedule, and believed in me to be the creative parent I wanted to be for my active, inquisitive seven year-old."

Lonnie Patrick
St. Louis, Missouri

"Coaching helped me change the way I parent my son. He was getting C's and D's in school, but thanks to Linda he is now getting A's and B's and loves school. His teacher couldn't believe the change in just eight weeks."

Maria Teran
Stockton, California

"I felt as if I had been liberated! Karen catered each of our sessions to my unique personality and parenting style. I am impressed with the resources, professionalism, and passion my coach brought to every session. She became a mentor, a teacher, a resource, a catalyst, a comrade, and a friend! Each week I looked forward to sharing my thoughts, feelings and concerns and receiving feedback that was relevant to my needs and parenting style. She helped me define my values and then prioritize and organize my life to be in harmony with those values. This helped bring the peace that I was seeking for in my home. Because I have parent coaching in my life, I am now developing into the parent that I always wanted to be."

Shae Taylor
Olympia, Washington

"I thought it was about my two-year not sleeping through the night. Gloria showed me it was really about my relationship with Ryan, my relationship to myself, and above all, my relationship to parenting. As a single, working mother, I gained so much. I am telling all my friends about this miraculous process!"

Lisa Smithson
Topeka, Kansas

"We very much enjoyed the parent coaching process. We learned more than expected about each of our parenting styles and what makes us tick. Our family benefited a lot and most of all, we solved our issues with our teenagers. We are now on track to enjoying them more each day."

Sam and Kelly Brown
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

"I found myself constantly at my wits' end and acting like someone I had never been before since the arrival of my now four year old. Other(s)…didn't seem to help me with the energy it was taking me to raise my daughter. Kaaren Borsting's incredible insight and ability to change her style to meet my needs, combined with very structured introspective 'assignments' have enabled me to see my world from new perspectives, and have allowed me to be more accepting of who my daughter is, who I am, and how to arrange our lives so that the two of us can learn to interact in a loving and nurturing way."

Lisa Ennis
Ashland, Oregon

"Working with Tina Thomas was a gift! When we started, I was struggling to maintain my priorities. Through our coaching, she helped me to articulate what really mattered. I became more true to myself through her support, encouragement, and at just the right moments, challenge. I was inspired to find the best in myself, my boys, and my husband."

Ann Perry-Moore
Seattle, Washington

"Parent coaching amazed me! I had no idea it would work so well for helping be a much better stay-at-home Mom. I learned so much about five and eight year olds and how better to parent with their 'brains in mind.' And I don't need as many naps. My energy for my kids has returned and it feels great."

Patty Chen
Cleveland, Ohio

"Jennifer Mangan is a very caring and skilled parent coach. She coached me through a very difficult time with my foster daughter, giving me both the support and encouragement I needed to make hard decisions that resulted in positive changes for everyone."

Louise Barbee
Pleasant Hill, California

"Your parent coaching provided the support, encouragement, and feedback I needed to realign my parental priorities. It was an enlightening experience. I was able to clarify my goals and take important steps to improve my relationship with my son."

Pat Bohman
Antioch, Illinois

"Going through a divorce is never easy. PCI parent coaching helped me with this massive transition. I became a better dad as a result."

Bruce Lipsett
Atlanta, Georgia

"I am thrilled at the results we experienced from the parent coaching. Who would have thought a weekly call for six months could help me make so many changes for myself and for my family? Thank you so much for going that extra mile and being 'there' for me in such a profound way. I am very thankful."

Sylvia Keyes
Provo, Utah

"You have helped me and my husband improve our parenting skills as well as markedly increase my son's autonomy, creativity, and persistence in tough tasks…thank you!"

Kristen Peters
Sherwood, Oregon

"My mom gave me the gift of working with a PCI trained parent coach when my baby was born. I was overwhelmed, scared, and excited. My parent coach helped me calm down, trust myself and enjoy Angie more. I learned so much about infant behaviors and how to stay at peace with a colicky baby. I don't know what I would have done without my parent coach!"

Robin Doran
Lansing, Michigan

"Mary Scribner is patient, empathetic, non-judgmental, and an incredibly effective listener, all of which make opening up to her and sharing so easy. My family has benefited immensely from Mary's wisdom, experience and sage advice."

Alycia Wolfson
Bainbridge Island, Washington

"Raising four boys is fun, most of the time, but we certainly have had our challenges. My coach at the PCI helped me focus on what was really important and gave me many ideas and access to great resources for our special needs son. I am forever grateful."

Melody Serrano
Dallas, Texas

"The number one thing I got out of the parent coaching process with Leslie was insight into my own parenting style and how it related to my children's styles. I realized that instead of focusing on just having fun with my children, that my true priority is taking charge of the whole home by creating routine and planning. Leslie never tried to tell me what my priorities should be, but she guided me to imagine my ideal and helped me get there. As a result, I feel more available, less stressed and things just seem to click."

Jane Sept
Salem, Oregon

"PCI parent coaching helped me accomplish my goals. And I had so many! Dr. Graham's coaching made me realize how much I was accomplishing. He made a big deal about it which made me realize the little things that I did were a big deal!"

Mary Carlson
Coupeville, Washington

"When I first came to Mary Hall for coaching services, I hoped to gain a greater sense of control over my life. Through our warm and positive coaching conversations, Mary helped me to put into words what I really wanted for my family, and she also pointed out the strengths and resources that existed in my life to help me achieve those dreams. I'm so thankful for the hours of encouragement and coaching I received from this awesome coach!"
