Sandra
and Bobbi are professional life coaches and licensed psychotherapists
in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. For almost 20 years, they have
become known for their expertise in coaching individuals, couples,
and parents in their most important relationships. They've also
conducted workshops, tele-classes, and groups helping parents
of adult children communicate more effectively, reduce conflict,
and find creative solutions to their relationship challenges.
Their experience helps them recognize the complexity of this
important stage of parenting.
In
addition to their private practices, Bobbi and Sandra are faculty
members at The Gestalt Therapy Institute of Philadelphia. They
have facilitated personal growth workshops in the United States
and Europe. Most importantly, they each are parents of two adult
children. These relationships have inspired their enthusiasm
and passion for their work.
Parentship
has been born out of our belief that parents are on a lifelong
journey
with their adult children. We have conceived the concept of
parentship as an approach for parents who strive for harmonious
relationships with their adult child. Parentship addresses the
complexity of this unique relationship including the profound
satisfaction parents experience whenever a more meaningful connection
with their children is created.
In
Parentship, we believe that:
-
Parents want to be a "good parent"
- Adult children want to be loved and appreciated by their parents
- Feelings, needs, desires, ideas, and perspectives of both
parent and offspring have equal value
We
believe that regardless of our past experiences with our children,
no matter what mistakes we have made or they have made, we can
now discover a path of compassion, acceptance, love, courage,
forgiveness and peace with regard to our adult children and
ourselves.
Our work with you is to help you discover your path
