About Beth
Beth Miller, M.Ed.
Beth has a Masters degree in Counseling and is a PCI Certified Parent Coach®. She has over 25 years of experience working with children and their parents as a parent educator, counselor and coach. She is passionate about helping parents create positive changes in their family life.
What parents say
Beth did a fantastic job helping us realize there is a way to raise our children that respects the child but also respects the parent. We had so many misconceptions about what discipline can mean and thought that it was either be a push-over or be controlling. Now we know there is another way.
T.N., private parent coaching
What I appreciate most about Beth are the real-life tools/words she shares that make a conversation with my kids meaningful and respectful in an instant. I have a note on my desk with a summary of the things Beth taught me as a reminder to myself. Sometimes I think I should get it tattooed to my hand ;)
Things really do run more smoothly when I implement these tools!
