Coaching

One umbrella, several modalities

Most families don't need a single kind of coaching — they need several, running in parallel, and speaking to each other. Our coaching program brings recovery coaching, family coaching, and parent coaching under one coordinated team, so the work the individual is doing and the work the family is doing actually move in the same direction.

Recovery coaching

A recovery coach walks alongside the person in recovery — not as a sponsor, not as a clinician, but as someone trained to hold the daily structure that keeps early recovery from collapsing. Meeting attendance, sleep, accountability, real-time crisis response, and a persistent human presence for the moments between clinical appointments.

Family coaching

When someone you love is in crisis, the family system reorganizes around the crisis. Parents become case managers. Spouses become crisis responders. Siblings become invisible. Family coaching rebuilds those roles — so the family can function as a family again.

• Setting and maintaining boundaries without enabling or abandoning
• Understanding the difference between helping and rescuing
• Learning to communicate without escalation or shutdown
• Processing your own grief, frustration, and exhaustion
• Navigating sibling dynamics and the impact on other family members
• Transitioning from crisis mode back to a functioning family unit

Parent coaching

Parenting an adult child in crisis is not the same as parenting a minor — and yet most parents default to the same playbook that worked when their child was eight. Parent coaching is for the specific, ongoing decisions: whether to fund another treatment attempt, whether to let them come home, how to respond to a 2am phone call, how to stop carrying what isn't yours to carry.

How coaching fits with the rest of the work

Coaching doesn't replace clinical care — and it doesn't replace companioning. It runs alongside both. Dr. Almaguer reviews coaching cases the same way she reviews companion cases, and our coaches sit inside the same weekly case-review structure. Which means the recovery coach knows what the psychiatrist just changed, and the parent coach knows what the recovery coach just heard.
