You’ve Been Trying to Make Sense of Things for Years.
Now It’s Time to Put It All Together.
You’ve always known your child was different. Maybe they were especially bright, unusually sensitive, or struggled in ways that didn’t quite fit neatly in any box.
You’ve done your best to parent with the tools you’ve had: adapting, compensating, and doing your own research along the way.
Now there’s a diagnosis that puts a name to the differences you’ve been seeing. It’s a relief in some ways but also a little overwhelming.
You may still be unsure what the diagnosis actually means, what to expect going forward, or how (and whether) you should start doing things differently.
That’s where this 5-week coaching group comes in. This group is designed to guide you through the uncertainty and help you make sense of what’s next.
We’ll cover what neurodivergence actually is and what that means for your child’s strengths, challenges, and daily life. You’ll learn how to parent in ways that truly support your child’s needs without losing your own sanity in the process.
6-week Parent Coaching Group
Tuesdays at 6:30-7:30 on Zoom
Starts September 30, 2025
You’ve been doing your best but it’s been exhausting.
Getting a diagnosis might explain some things, but it doesn’t automatically tell you what to do next. That’s where a lot of parents get stuck. You want more guidance to help you understand what this all means and how to actually support your child in day-to-day life.
-
You’re still not sure what the diagnosis really means.
There’s a sea of information online, and none of it seems to fit your child exactly. You’re left wondering: What is neurodivergence and what’s most important to understand right now? -
You’re trying to make changes, but it’s hard to tell what’s working.
Even with new insight, parenting still feels like trial and error. Some strategies help, others backfire, and you’re often left questioning if you’re doing the right thing. -
You’re overwhelmed by information and still searching for clarity.
You’ve read, listened, and scrolled your way through endless information. Some of it resonates, some of it doesn’t and it’s hard to tell what actually applies to your child or where to start. You just want someone to help you make sense of it all.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
This 5-week coaching group offers more than just expert guidance. It’s a supportive community of parents who truly understand what you’re facing because they’re going through the same thing. Led by a psychiatrist and coach who understands the challenges, each session gives you practical tools, fresh perspectives, and the chance to share your experiences without shame or judgment.
Understand your child through a neurodivergent lens so things finally start to make sense.
Discover what really works and why the usual strategies often fall short.
Connect with other parents who share your journey, helping you feel less isolated and more supported.

The best part of being in the group was knowing I’m not alone in this. Other parents are facing similar challenges with their kids. There was a real sense of camaraderie, like we were all in the trenches together. That made it feel safe to not be okay, and safe to say the hard things I couldn’t always say out loud elsewhere.

Dr. Young created a warm, supportive space where we could connect with other parents and share our struggles without shame. She gave us practical insights that helped us understand what our neurodivergent teen really needs and how to better support them through future transitions.

I feel like I have been on a 5 year odyssey (longer if I am honest) that started as a nightmare that I am not sure I would have survived without the group.

Hi, I’m Dr. Kathleen Young and I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m a psychiatrist and certified coach who has worked with neurodivergent kids, adults, and the parents who love them.
I’m also a parent.
I’ve personally navigated this journey and I understand how confusing and overwhelming it can be to see your child struggle without clear answers or to get a diagnosis that only raises more questions, even when you have a mental health background.
That’s why I created this group: to offer clear, practical guidance and a compassionate space for parents who want to better understand their child and find support that truly makes a difference.

When You Understand the ‘Why,’ the ‘How’ Starts to Make Sense
This group walks you through a meaningful shift in how you understand your child, how you respond to challenges, and how you move forward with more calm, clarity, and compassion.
Step One
See Your Child More Clearly
Begin to understand your child through a neurodivergent lens. You’ll start to recognize what’s really going on beneath the surface and why certain strategies may not have worked.
Step two
Try New Approaches That Make Sense for Your Child
Each week, you’ll get practical suggestions to support your child in everyday life. There’s no one-size-fits-all formula but you’ll walk away with a clearer sense of what’s worth trying and why.
Step three
Feel More Grounded and Less Alone
You won’t leave with all the answers but you will leave with insight, realistic ways to approach daily challenges, and a community that understands what you’re going through. Things may still be hard, but they won’t feel as overwhelming or as lonely.
For parents who want to understand their child’s neurodivergent brain
Handle daily challenges better, and feel less alone.
Whether your child was recently diagnosed or you’re finally getting answers after years of uncertainty, this group will help you better understand your child’s nervous system differences and how they impact the behaviors you see day to day.
We’ll meet weekly on Zoom to explore foundational concepts of neurodivergence and what those actually mean for your parenting. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of your child, realistic strategies to try at home, and a community of parents who understand because they are navigating many of the same challenges.
