Meet a Parents Toolshop® Coach

Deanna has a Masters in Counseling, a Bachelors in Political Science, and pre law dual major in Psychology.  She is very educated and has a passion for serving others.

Before finding Parents Toolshop® she had worked with children and families as a counselor for 12 years.  She always had the trouble of families bringing in the “identified patient” (the kid acting up) and saying, “Here’s the kid.  You fix him up.  Leave me alone, I’m out of here.”  Even the few times (out of the 100’s of families she worked with) when she had parents who actually wanted to be involved and part of the therapy, Deanna never had an effective, reliable system to share with them.  She only had her theory & philosophies.  She did not have the practical information, tools or words that she could help them with when they were back in their own homes so they could handle situations as they came up.

That was before she took the Parents Toolshop® Advanced T.I.P.S. course, to use the coaching in her practice.

  • Level II: Certified Coach (I am a Certified Coach who has received training and certification from an organization other than RTTI.)

  • Level III: Licensed/Certified Family Professional (I am a CFLE, LSW, or other credentialed or licensed professional who can’t provide diagnostic or clinical services.)
