Supporting Children, Teens, & Parents

  • Child Therapy

    Children

    I work with school-aged children to increase confidence, strengthen emotional intelligence, and practice self regulation. We enjoy our time together with fun, age-appropriate tools—like finger puppets, drawing, legos, and role play.

    Teens

    I work with high school and college students looking to make positive changes and understand their role in creating the life they want. Interactive quizzes make learning about their emotional strengths and goals engaging. Teens leave trusting themselves to navigate challenges—not avoid them.

Why Coaching?

Sarah Byrnes loves working with mothers that need support in confidence, mindset, and emotional intelligence coach. She is trained in cognitive behavioral techniques. Her coaching compliments therapy and is great for families.

Sometimes, you just know something’s off.

Maybe your child gets super nervous before playdates or has meltdowns the second things don’t go her way.

Maybe your teen is stuck in an unhealthy relationship, deflated, and willing to get help from anyone but you these days.

Or, maybe you need to set some boundaries or have a difficult conversation and don’t know how to begin.

Whatever it is, that feeling where you’re ready to make a change and you need someone unbiased, to guide you or your child, with honest reflection, practical tools, and emotional insight—that is where coaching comes in.

Coaching is complimentary to therapy. It provides focused support designed to help you achieve your goals and learn techniques to move you forward with clarity and confidence. Coaching isn’t for diagnosed mental health conditions or long-term struggles like depression or chronic anxiety. Instead it offers you tools to navigate today’s challenges— not avoid them.

Nice to meet you

I’m Sarah Byrnes and I’ve been a practicing educator for twenty-three years. There’s been a noticeable trend over the last ten years—an uptick in self-doubt and a decrease in confidence and self-regulation skills. More children are saying, “I can’t” and giving up before they even give it a try. Young adults are describing themselves as “stuck”—presenting as self-conscious or indecisive, not knowing how to take the action needed to do what they want to do. And parents aren’t taking care of themselves—unsure of how to set boundaries that reflect their values and stick to them, and are looking for guidance. As an elementary school teacher and mother of two teenage girls, this led me to pursue my certification in four coaching areas: Confidence, Mindset, Emotional Intelligence, and Cognitive Behavioral Techniques. I love it. I love talking about it and helping others create a version of themselves they feel proud of and that’s ever-changing as they grow into the best version of themselves. This is what I love to do and I’m looking forward to helping you, your child, or both of you Discover Peace of Mind.
