Cathy Taughinbaugh: Helping Parents Find Peace - "As your coach, I will share effective strategies with you that many people have used to not only help themselves feel better but help their loved one change. We will work together to identify how these strategies can best fit your personal situation. You know your partner or child best. You are the hero in your family’s story. My role is to be your guide and help you make the best decisions for your situation. During our coaching time together, we’ll create a clear path for you to move forward so that you can achieve the changes that you desire. My goal is that not only will you be transformed, but your loved one will follow and make needed changes as well. I’m available for emails and texts in between sessions. We can tailor our time together to meet your needs" - from the website
