Meet Tim, Founder of Peak Parent Coaching

Welcome! My name is Tim and I am the founder of Peak Parent Coaching, where I blend my extensive experience in behavioral healthcare with a deep passion for helping families thrive. I bring over 28 years of experience in a variety of treatment environments including residential treatment, wilderness therapy and intensive community based programs. During this time I’ve worked with a wide range of diagnosis and family dynamics helping achieve successful and sustainable outcomes. My journey in parent coaching was a natural evolution for me, combining my diverse professional background with a commitment to helping families achieve lasting, meaningful change.

Before founding Peak Parent Coaching, I was a partner at Equinox Counseling & Wellness Centers, where I served for 15 years as the Director of Therapeutic Adventures followed by my role as System of Care Officer and Parent Coach. In these roles, I have honed my unique approach to parent and family coaching—integrating coordinated care, parent leadership, academic advocacy, and experiential methods to create comprehensive, effective solutions for families in need.

As a native of Western New York, I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Sciences from Niagara University. In 1996, driven by my love for skiing and the outdoors, I moved to Colorado. Here I began combining my passion for wilderness with behavioral healthcare. Over the next six years, I have worked as a residential staff at the Emily Griffith Center as a field guide, leading wilderness trips with teen boys. My expertise soon expanded from residential treatment and wilderness/experiential work to community-based care, ultimately bridging experiential therapeutic modalities with a more holistic, integrated approach to treatment.

My deep passion for parent and family coaching has led me to specialize in helping parents become confident, nurturing leaders within their families. Throughout my coaching sessions, family intensives, and personalized family coaching sessions, I empowers parents to lead with intention, clarity, and compassion.

At Peak Parent Coaching, my guiding philosophy is simple:

“I take a principally based approach to helping parents emerge as leaders raising responsible and healthy functioning adults".
