Many parents find themselves over-functioning—stepping in to fix, manage, or smooth over their child’s social, emotional, behavioral, or academic struggles. When teens become easily dysregulated or resistant to responsibility, parents may feel like they are “walking on eggshells,” working harder than their child, or taking on emotions and problems that are not their own.
Parallel Process Parent Coaching, owned and operated by Krissy Pozatek, MSW, helps parents recognize patterns of enmeshment and understand how over-involvement can unintentionally interfere with a child’s emotional growth and maturity. Through The Parallel Process framework, parents gain hands-on skills to identify and transform negative relationship patterns, implement choice-based boundaries with accountability, and create a structured “home container” that promotes emotional regulation.
If your child (ages 10–23) is navigating emotional or mental health struggles, strategic coaching can help shift the trajectory of your home life. Created by Krissy Pozatek, MSW—author of the landmark book The Parallel Process and a veteran practitioner with over 30 years of experience—these coaching pathways help parents move beyond simple intellectual understanding to a felt experience of holding clear, confident boundaries without yelling or over-managing.
Whether you need 1-on-1 crisis support or continuous group guidance, Krissy offers two distinct pathways to restore balance and respect to your family:
