Parenting a teen or young adult in today’s world is no small task.
Whether your child is defiant, withdrawn, struggling with substance use, or just hard to reach, the constant stress can feel like too much.
You’ve tried everything—open conversations, consequences, even therapy or treatment.
But now they’re back home (or never left), and you're still walking on eggshells.
You’re stuck in the cycle of nagging, worrying, and not knowing what else to do.
That’s where I come in.
“My teen doesn’t respect the rules—or me.”
“I want to help, but I don’t want to enable.”
“I’m constantly worried they’ll relapse or spiral again.”
“Every conversation turns into a fight or shutdown.”
“I just want peace in my home—and my kid back.”
Whether your teen has a history of substance use or is simply testing boundaries, pushing buttons, or shutting you out, parent coaching offers a clear, compassionate path forward.
Hi, I’m Susan Morley, Parenting Coach, Family Recovery Coach, and mom of two grown kids.
Since 2009, I’ve helped hundreds of families rebuild communication, restore structure, and finally stop the cycle of conflict and chaos.
Whether your teen is struggling with addiction, independence, or just being a teen in today’s fast-moving world I help parents regain their confidence and rebuild their relationship.
✅ Set and hold boundaries without yelling, guilt, or shutdowns
✅ Learn communication strategies that your teen actually responds to
✅ Navigate screen time, sleep, school avoidance, or emotional outbursts
✅ Support your teen’s independence without enabling harmful behaviors
✅ Recognize early warning signs—and respond with clarity and calm
✅ Shift from conflict to connection in your parent-child relationship
You don’t need to be your child’s therapist.
You need to be their calm, clear, consistent parent—and I’ll show you how.
We’ll start with your goals—what you want to see shift, and what’s getting in the way. You’ll get personalized, practical strategies that reflect your values, your teen’s needs, and your family dynamic.
For families needing a reset, I facilitate structured family meetings that build trust, improve communication, and help everyone get back on the same team.
Parenting doesn’t happen on a schedule. You’ll have direct access to me via text, email, and video—so you’re never left to guess in the moment.

💬 It’s going to be okay. That’s one of the things I got from our call.
Who this is for:
Parents who want clarity fast.
Families ready to fix one major issue right now.
Moms and dads considering coaching but not ready for a big program.
This one is ready to book today—no consult needed.
These are some of the questions parents most frequently ask:
You're smart. You've read the books, followed the parenting experts, watched the Reels, maybe even tried all the right "scripts."
You're doing your best with everything you've got.
But let’s be real—parenting wasn’t meant to be done alone.
Not in today’s world. Not ever.
Love? That part’s natural.
But knowing how to set firm boundaries without yelling? How to stay calm when your kid is pushing every button?
That takes strategy, practice, and support that actually fits your life.
That’s where I come in.
When you’ve got a proven plan and someone in your corner (that’s me), everything shifts:
✅ Power struggles lose their grip
✅ You stop second-guessing yourself
✅ Your child starts listening
✅ Peace returns to your home
Asking for help doesn’t mean you’re failing.
It means you’re ready to stop surviving—and start leading your family with confidence.
If the pressure to "do it all on your own" has been holding you back from actually enjoying your child… it’s time to let that go.
You don’t have to wait for rock bottom.
You just have to take the first step.

But let me ask you this: Have you ever invested in yourself as the parent?
Not in a quick fix. Not in just more advice. But in real support so you can stop the yelling, stop the second-guessing, and start parenting with clarity, confidence, and consistency?
That’s what coaching with me is all about.
Most of the parents I work with have strong-willed kids who are bright and capable—but at home? It’s meltdown after meltdown. Power struggle after power struggle. You're walking on eggshells or stuck in guilt, and mornings, mealtimes, and bedtimes feel like battle zones.
And while your child might be the one acting out, you’re the one exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering: “What am I doing wrong?”
You’re not doing anything wrong. You just don’t have the right support—yet.
My coaching options are designed to change that.
Whether you choose the Family Transformation Program, the Family Reset, or the Breakthrough Session, you’re not just paying for Zoom calls. You’re getting:
✅ A personalized plan for your family
✅ Real-time support between sessions (yes, evenings and weekends too!)
✅ Tools that work—not just in theory, but in your home, with your child
✅ Expert guidance from someone who’s helped hundreds of parents transform the way they parent—and the way their kids respond
You’re a loving parent. And your child knows how to use that love to push boundaries when it suits them. But that doesn’t help them grow. What they need is a parent who can say “no” with calm confidence and mean it.
That’s how kids learn to regulate emotions, delay gratification, and become emotionally resilient.
That’s how you get peace back in your home.
So yes—coaching is an investment. But the cost of not doing this? Is months or years of stress, conflict, and guilt. And that’s far more expensive.
Still have questions? I’m happy to talk it through. www.parentcoachatlanta.com/talk
Great question—and you’re not alone.
Sure, it’s easier when both parents are on the same page. But the reality? Most couples aren’t.
You were raised with different values, different consequences, and different ways of handling conflict.
Now you’re raising one strong-willed child together… and it’s wearing you out.
Or maybe you’re parenting solo—or co-parenting with an ex or a step-parent who has a completely different style.
No matter what your family structure looks like, here’s the truth:💥 It only takes one parent to lead the change.
When you start parenting with calm, consistency, and clarity—your child responds.
When you hold firm boundaries without the drama—your child begins to regulate.
When you shift the pattern—your family dynamic changes.
And over time?
👉 In partnered families, the other parent usually follows when they see the results—no convincing needed.
👉 In co-parenting situations, your child learns that at your house, there’s structure, connection, and safety, even if it’s different elsewhere.
👉 In single-parent homes, your own confidence and peace can anchor the entire household.
So if you’ve been waiting on someone else to “get it together” before you take action, let me gently say:
Don’t wait. Start now. Be the leader your child needs.
📅 Let’s talk: www.parentcoachatlanta.com/talk
Totally understandable. But let me gently push back:
Things don’t magically get better on their own.
And what you’re dealing with? It’s not just a phase—it’s a pattern.
Right now, you’re already spending your time and energy managing chaos:
🔁 Begging your kids to do chores
🔁 Fighting about screen time
🔁 Bracing for meltdowns
🔁 Second-guessing yourself
🔁 Walking on eggshells
🔁 Disagreements with your partner about discipline
🔁 Hoping it gets better “someday”
That emotional toll? It’s already costing you.
When we work together
you stop spinning your wheels.
You get:
✔️ a clear roadmap
✔️ direct access to me (even between sessions)
✔️ and real-time strategies that actually work.
With your child, in your home, with your values.
And here’s what I hear from nearly every client:
I wish we had started this sooner.
This isn’t just support for now—it’s an investment that pays off for years.
Clients tell me they’re still using these strategies with their teens… even their grandkids.
Their relationships with their kids keep deepening, because the foundation we build together lasts.
You deserve peace.
You deserve confidence.
You deserve to actually enjoy spending time with your child—not trying to control their behavior.
So if fear, guilt, or timing has held you back—but your gut is telling you something needs to change—now’s the time.
Not ready for a full program yet? No problem. My Breakthrough Parenting Session is a focused, 75-minute call where we’ll uncover what’s working, what’s not, and exactly what needs to change. You’ll leave with clarity, scripts, and a plan you can start using right away
