What clients are saying

We felt understood by Mike

We came to Mike with a lot of stress and feeling like we had failed our kids. We were in conflict almost every day, their grades were dropping, and the disrespect toward us was out of control. We felt understood by Mike, he cared for us and never judged us. Working with Mike and making the changes we talked about, we saw changes in our family that we wanted.

We felt lost before we met Mike

We felt lost before we met Mike. We have three kids who share time between our two families and the stress and constant moving kids around was getting to us. Plus, trying to understand our teen daughter as she started a new school was tough. Mike always listened and always knew exactly how to guide us in our relationship with our teens.

- The Browns

We found Mike at the right time

We found Mike at the right time. We adopted our three beautiful sons much later in life and didn't know how difficult it was going to be to raise teens with the right values. We were losing our minds and our hope. Mike's guidance is so personal, and he was so available to our needs we felt supported the entire time he coached us. We're grateful that we have grown more connected and finally understand each other.

My teenager has moved back home with me full time

Before working with Mike in Present Solution for Parents, I felt really hopeless about my relationship with my teenager. The biggest challenge was navigating how to handle my son’s disrespect and refusal to communicate due to his father’s influence. After working with Mike, I learned how to stand up for myself, regulate difficult emotions, and most importantly, how to show up as a confident parent. Now, my teenager has moved back home with me full time. He communicates respectfully and he often asks for my advice. The most valuable thing I gained was letting go of fear and trusting that I could be a better parent by working on myself first and then applying Mike’s lessons to my situation.

My highest recommendation, both professionally and as a mom

As a psychologist, it was difficult for me to admit to needing help with my parenting. I felt like a failure as a mom, and this made me doubt myself as a professional. My friends would tell me, "don't let your kids talk to you like that," but I didn't know what to do. Mike's program and coaching have helped guide and empower me to grow into the mom I want to be.

The program is very comprehensive, and Mike is an amazing coach. He helped me navigate challenging situations with my kids as well as a difficult coparenting relationship with my ex. In addition to learning about adolescence and parenting skills, Mike's thorough and very supportive coaching helped me understand myself and change patterns. That aspect of his coaching has been the most valuable, as I develop my own voice and style as a mom.

I give Mike and his Present Solution for Parents coaching program my highest recommendation, both professionally and as a mom.

Stay calm and confident as a mom

What I learned from Mike really works and I'm proud of how I'm able to stay calm and confident as a mom.

We just needed the right approach

My husband and I were having a difficult time with our 20 year old son.  I felt I was losing my relationship with him.  He felt all we did was punish him.  We were starting to lose hope  and it was affecting the whole dynamic of our family.  Mike showed us that we have the best of intentions but we just needed the right approach to connect with our son. Now we feel confident in handling situations that may arise and our children have noticed a difference in our parenting and they are grateful.

MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO

Hey, I'm Mike!

I've been working with teenagers and their families since 2003 — pastoring, teaching, and coaching, first inside churches and schools, and now with parents one family at a time.

I got here the long way. I was a lost teenager myself. Then somebody showed up for me. That's most of the reason I do this.

Later I went to Fuller Theological Seminary for a master's in theology, in the youth, family and culture emphasis.

So here's what I believe. Almost all the time, what you're seeing at home isn't defiance. It's development. It's going badly, and it is not proof that you failed.

Parents come to me for their teenager. We start with them instead, because you will lead your teen best from trusted influence, not intimidation. Then we build your family a system to stand on.
