How Denver parents choose
- These are non-clinical parenting coaches: they work with parents and do not diagnose or treat children.
- No BCBAs, ABA providers, psychologists in clinical practice or licensed therapists are listed.
- If behavior is unsafe, sudden, or flagged by school, start with your pediatrician, not a coach.
- The four are certified through the Parent Coaching Institute (two) and the Jai Institute for Parenting (two).
Important
Everyone here is listed for non-clinical parenting or behavior coaching. In that role they do not diagnose, they do not treat, and they do not provide ABA or any other clinical intervention, even where a coach also holds a separate professional licence. Coaching is support for parents, not treatment for children. If your child’s behavior is putting them or anyone else at risk, or you suspect an underlying condition, start with your pediatrician, who can refer you on.
Common questions Denver parents ask
What does a child behavior coach actually do?
A Denver child behavior coach works with the parent, not the child. They help you read what is driving a behavior, then give you concrete things to say and do around tantrums, boundaries, bedtime, sibling conflict, school struggles and big feelings. They are coaches and educators, not clinicians, and they do not diagnose or treat.
Is a behavior coach the same as a BCBA or an ABA provider?
No, and this directory deliberately excludes them. BCBAs and ABA providers deliver a clinical behavioral intervention, usually to the child. The coaches here work with parents on everyday parenting and are not acting as clinicians. If you are looking for a clinical behavioral assessment, ask your pediatrician for a referral rather than using this page.
When should I speak to a clinician instead of a coach?
Speak to your pediatrician first if your child’s behavior is unsafe to themselves or others, if it appeared suddenly or changed sharply, if it is badly affecting eating or sleeping, if school has raised a formal concern, or if you suspect a developmental or mental-health condition. A coach can complement clinical care but is not a substitute for an assessment.
How much does a parenting coach cost in Denver?
Only one of the four coaches here publishes rates. Melani Dawson-Lear charges $180.00 per session for her 10-week programme, $200.00 per session for a refresher, and $50.00 per person per session for a parent group. Denise Templer Sironen and Mimi Pomeranz offer a free first consultation. The other pricing fields are blank rather than estimated.
Do these coaches work over video?
Yes. Melani Dawson-Lear says she serves Denver and worldwide, and Mimi Pomeranz works virtually with families across the country. Parent coaching translates well to video because the work is a conversation with you about what happened at home, so a coach in Centennial can work just as well with a family in Arvada or Aurora.
