Frequently asked questions

Who is this coaching a good fit for?

This work is best suited for families whose lives are being actively disrupted by anxiety or avoidance.

It’s often a strong fit if:

• Your child is missing school or struggling to access it consistently
• Anxiety or avoidance is shaping daily routines
• Parents are carrying the emotional and logistical load
• Therapy has helped, but daily functioning is still hard
• You want hands-on help carrying out the plan in real life

What if my child doesn’t want help or is resistant?

This is very common, and it doesn’t mean coaching won’t be helpful.

Much of our work focuses on:

• Reducing power struggles
• Shifting parent-child dynamics
• Creating structure that supports engagement
• Helping teens build tolerance gradually, not through force

Progress often begins with changes in the system, not immediate buy-in from the child.

What if this isn’t the right fit?

That’s okay.

Part of our work is helping families find the right next step. If this level of support isn’t appropriate, we’ll talk honestly about that.

Fit matters.

How is this different from therapy?

Choice Point Coaching is not a replacement for therapy.

Many families come to us already engaged in therapy or other clinical supports. Coaching focuses on bridging insight into daily life: what happens between sessions, on school mornings, during transitions, and when avoidance shows up in real time.

We support:

• Daily routines and follow-through
• Distress tolerance in real-world situations
• Parent responses that reduce power struggles
• Coordination across the systems supporting your child

Therapy builds insight. Coaching helps life work.

How long is the program?

Choice Point is a 90-day coaching program. Ninety days gives your family time to practice responding differently in the hard moments, consistently, in real life.

The goal is meaningful, sustainable change, not quick fixes.

Do you work with schools and other providers?

Yes.

Coaching is most effective when everyone is aligned. We collaborate with:

• Schools
• Therapists
• Other providers involved in your child’s care

So families aren’t coordinating everything on their own and expectations are consistent across settings.

What does progress actually look like?

Progress doesn’t mean anxiety disappears.

Families often notice:

• Mornings that feel calmer and more manageable
• Teens doing things they weren’t doing before, even when anxious
• Fewer power struggles around routines
• Improved school access over time
• Parents feeling supported instead of holding everything alone

Progress is gradual, but it’s felt.

What happens during a consult?

A consult is a conversation, not a sales call.

We’ll talk about:

• What’s happening in your family
• What you’ve already tried
• Where things feel stuck
• Whether this level of support makes sense

You’ll leave with clarity about next steps, whether or not we work together.

Is this a significant investment?

Yes. This is a meaningful investment because the support is intensive and comprehensive.

Families aren’t paying for sessions alone. They’re investing in relief, structure, and support that helps life move out of crisis mode and toward functioning again.

The exact investment is discussed during a consult so families can fully understand what’s included and decide if it’s the right fit.
