It’s normal to have a desire to want to fix our child’s problems.

But you don’t have to do this alone. Mom, you deserve support too.

Mom, does your teen’s anxiety consume you with worry?

Raising kids today is not as simple as when your parents were raising you.

Anxiety, stress, and depression are at an all-time high in teens. Key contributing factors include social media and online presence; peer pressure and desire to fit in, residual Covid effects of disruption of routines and social isolation; and academic pressure.

When our kids are young, things seem so simple and you feel like you’re in complete control of their days.  As our kids hit the teenage years, other factors from the outside world influence and affect the well-being of your child.

Moms, how is your child’s anxiety and stress affecting you? Is it becoming your most challenging job?

  • Have you unable to focus on your job or goals?

  • Turning to food or alcohol to get immediate relief from the stress?

  • Causing friction between you and your spouse?

  • Causing stress with you and your child as you try to offer advice?

  • Do conversations with friends always lead to this topic?

  • Have you worried when or if your child will fully launch into adulthood?

Hello, I’m Barbara

Having launched 2 children into adulthood myself, I’ve experienced this too.

My parenting worries started as soon as I brought my baby home from the hospital, wanting to do everything “right.” And with each birthday celebration, my old worries seemed so simple as I was presented with different worries. This same pattern continued, always remembering those “easier” years.

By age 20, I understood what parenting stress was all about - you have this emerging adult with their own brain and you just want those “easier” days when you felt in control of everyday decisions.

I understand how you feel – the stress-filled days, the endless conversations, and your worries about their future. You’re probably thinking right now, will my job preparing my children for their life ever be complete? Will I get to experience grown, independent children and be able to have an adult relationship with them? I didn’t know who to turn to for support – sometimes it’s just not possible to be honest and open with family or friends about the stress you’re feeling. For sure, my emotional day depended upon how my children were managing their stress or anxiety.

Your teen is not the only one evolving. A transition is required in the type of parent you are.

I give moms the support they need so they can feel emotionally strong to be able to guide their emerging adult.

I start by giving you a space to speak openly and honestly about what you are feeling without any fear of judgment or consequence. Coaching with me is a safe space to completely unload all your feelings. Once you get that out of the way, we together can make a plan. It’s time to build a relationship that will help them launch into this world. Together we can navigate these waves of life.

You can become the parent who has a connection with their child, where discussions don’t get heated and you feel at ease knowing they are capable humans living their life and not use up all your energy trying to prevent every life lesson for them.

So you might wonder how to get started. I make it easy for my clients to take the first step since I know the first step is the hardest. With me, the first step is simply a phone call. On that call you’re going to get:

  • Someone to listen to your parenting struggles.

  • Someone to sort the drama from the facts so you know exactly what needs to change.

  • And you will learn how to take your parenting to the next level and build a lasting relationship with your child.

What they are saying

  • "I first came to work with Barb because of some anxiety issues surrounding my teenage daughter. Not only did she help guide me through a very difficult time with my daughter, but she also helped me grow immensely as an individual along the way. I continue to work with her on a regular basis and have improved so many areas of my life. Through my work with Barb, I have learned so much about myself and my abilities. It is also wonderful to have someone who can impart unbiased advice during situations of stress and unease. "

    DD

  • “I have been coaching with Barbara for over one year. Initially coaching was about me trying to lose weight. I learned valuable tools and have successfully lost weight and have kept all that weight off. With the increase in confidence, I was then able to address the root cause of my overeating which was stress at work. Through coaching I learned how to support my needs at work – I no longer needed approval from coworkers nor focused on any disapproval. With Barbara’s help, I continue to evolve and have truly changed my identity that will last a lifetime. ”

    KP

  • “I've been on and off with many different therapists in the past and it never really was a permanent solution. Since starting my sessions with Barbara, it's just really clicked. I've noticed a huge change in myself for the better, I'm more conscious of my thoughts and I'm actually able to take control of the narrative in my mind. Barbara is extremely patient and absolutely wonderful at setting obtainable goals which allows me to be able to digest what we talk about and implement those changes in my everyday life.”

    CP

  • “After working with Barb for about a year now, I feel empowered and have noticed huge improvements in my life. As a way to gain a sense of control in my life I had created an unhealthy relationship with food for much of my adult life. By controlling food, I was avoiding the root cause of my feelings. I felt like a prisoner to life. Barbara helped me gain back my control and find peace in the uncontrollable aspects of life. A thoughtful, active listener, Barbara helped me uncover and dissect my thoughts to arrive at the deep causes of stress and anxiety in my life. She helped me realize that I hold the power over my thoughts and gave me tools to use when life throws tough situations my way."

    LH

  • “Barb has really helped me to root out the heart of my work anxieties. Her sessions feel extremely natural and casual. I have had 3 sessions so far and look forward to our next one. She helps to guide you to your next steps to achieve the outcome your working towards. I highly recommend Barbara as a life coach.”

    EH

  • "Barb has helped me with my weight loss journey and as a result I feel I am on the road to gaining control of my eating habits. The education and guidance I have received has taught me how and why my eating habits work the way they do. After only a few sessions I have learned that sugar is a real trigger for me and I am so much better without it. I finally feel I can control what and how I eat and food is not holding me hostage any longer. Barbara is putting a firm foundation under me so I can enjoy my success for years to come. I love that she is so knowledgeable about what the science is behind food and how it makes us tic."

    SP

  • "Barb was referred to me by a friend who went from sad a depressed, to holding her head high and radiating confidence. I wanted that. I was seeing a therapist for 8 years... and always keeping me focused on past pain and trauma. I was ready to move on and forward with my life... but was stalled and sinking. As soon as I started working with Barbara and her forward focused direction, I've noticed a major change in my outlook and direction I'm going in. My friends are noticing and commenting!"

    DS

  • "Talking to Barb is like talking to your best friend- only better! She has been helping me through a difficult time of living with a clinically depressed person. I always come away from our sessions with new ways of dealing with the situation. She has helped me to understand that you cannot change people - only the way you view and handle the situation. I feel fortunate to have found her!"

    Heal.me/BarbHatfield client

  • "I had a recent relationship break-up and suffered with poor self esteem and had difficulty with the transition back to single life. Barbara helped me find my backbone to support myself and believe in myself. I am forever grateful!"

    CF

  • "Barb has helped me immensely! Her knowledge and understanding of situations is impeccable. She has a certain way of making you look at things in a more positive way. Would highly recommend anyone to visit with her!"

    CE

  • "Barb made me realize the importance of my thoughts and how it creates how I feel. I learned from her how to find thoughts that better serve me; this has helped me build a better outlook on my life and I feel good about that. Thank you Barbara for all your support and professionalism."

    JH

  • "I have been coaching with Barb for 2 ½ years. She supported me while I lost over 50 pounds and helped me shed an old identity that I no longer wanted. Coaching helped me increase my awareness of the root cause of my overeating – work stress. We have spent the last year releasing decades of old beliefs about myself, and I am proud to say that I finally was able to see my value in the workplace. The skills I learned through coaching gave me the strength to quit my current job and I am now starting at my dream job with a nice increase in pay! I now enjoy monthly coaching follow-ups and will use the tools I have learned to approach this next phase of life that I have created."

    KP

  • "Having a health coach is extremely important when trying to change a habit. Without one, it's easy to cheat but when you have someone to report in with it makes all the difference. I highly recommend Barb to help support you and be your accountability partner. She will ask you questions about how true you were to the goals you set and being honest about them is hugely important to helping you achieve your ultimate health goals."

    RC

  • "I tried many diets through the years. This year I worked with Barb to gain control of my eating habits. Barb gave me a new awareness of what is just habit and immediate desire versus what your body really needs to achieve better weight control. After years of being on specific diets, where you are handed a card with weight gain as a failure when you hit a rough patch, I responded to weight loss being an awareness journey. Barb’s approach is for you to mentally come to terms with what is healthful, what habits need to be modified. You can always make adjustments and overcome bumps in your path. I got interested in intermittent fasting and feel much healthier. It is a plan that works for me by limiting my food intake to 8 hours a day."

    TB

  • "I've encountered an average number of difficulties in my life and up until now, dealt with everything on my own. This time, however, I needed a little help and was lucky to find Barb - a very insightful and thoughtful coach. Barb helped me by providing the support, guidance, suggestions, and questions to ponder. This helped me, over time, to clarify the situation and to restore some balance, peace and gratitude in my life."
