Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our services, process, and what to expect when working with Gentle Roots.

General Questions

How do I know if parent coaching is right for me?

Gentle Roots utilizes the science of behavior change as the foundation of our services. All recommended strategies are rooted in research.

What skill areas do you work on?

We work with families across a variety of skill areas including but not limited to:

  • Getting ready in the morning
  • Bedtime routine
  • Toilet training
  • Meal times
  • Completing homework
  • Executive functioning and organization skills
  • Challenging behaviors at school

Do you work with kids with disabilities?

We work with kids with developmental disabilities, including Autism and ADHD, and also kiddos who don't have a disability but may need extra support.

Do you accept insurance?

No, we do not accept insurance at this time. Insurance companies place strict requirements on having a specific diagnosis and on how treatment models look. At Gentle Roots, we aim to meet families where they are, which is often without an official diagnosis and in different settings than typical treatment can support.

Parent Coaching

How much do sessions cost?

Gentle Roots services are typically private-pay, although insurance does cover services for those with an autism diagnosis. Gentle Roots offers packages and group events to make services accessible to as many families as possible.

For 1:1 consulting services, families typically invest $100+ per session depending on the level of support needed. A free consultation call is available to help determine the best fit.

Will you work with my child's school?

Yes! Consultation services are available to work with your child's school. We are also able to support with the IEP process.

How long does a coaching session last?

Coaching sessions are typically 50-60 minutes long. Gentle Roots provides individualized services, so if we're tackling a routine together that needs more than an hour at a time, we can do that!

How often do we meet for a coaching session?

Coaching sessions are typically scheduled weekly. We aim to make services accessible to busy families, so if a bi-weekly or alternative schedule is what works for you, we will curate our services on that timeline.
