# Audra Trask · Parent Coaching

> Audra Trask is a parent coach based in Boulder, Colorado, working with parents of children from infancy through age 18, in person in Boulder and virtually across the United States. She is a Certified Child Life Specialist with more than 18 years of experience supporting children and families in hospital (emergency, surgery, pediatric units) and community settings.

Key facts:

- Who it's for: parents (one or both) of babies through teens, ages 0–18. Audra coaches the parents; she does not meet with the children.
- What she helps with: child anxiety and avoidance, big emotions and meltdowns, separation and new situations, confidence and negative self-talk, power struggles and defiance, routines (bedtime, mornings, meals, transitions), sibling conflict, setting warm and firm boundaries, ADHD and daily friction, school and homework battles, screen time and devices, teen challenges, and parent overwhelm. She also works with parents of neurodiverse children and children with learning differences.
- Format: one-hour sessions, usually weekly. After the first three sessions, families can stay weekly or move to every other week. Many families feel a lasting change within eight to ten sessions.
- Price: sessions are $125. A free 20-minute introductory "fit" call comes first; it is an introduction, not a session or advice.
- How to start: send a short note through the inquiry form at https://audratrask.com/#inquire, then pick a time on Audra's calendar (https://calendly.com/cleverparenting/consultation).
- Coaching vs. therapy: coaching is future-focused and action-oriented, not therapy or medical advice. Audra refers families to therapy or diagnostic work when it would help.
- Credentials: Certified Child Life Specialist; Parent Coaching Institute certification expected March 2027; Parenting Specialist with Trekwise (pediatric behavioral health); recent PESI training in child and adolescent anxiety, attachment-centered play therapy, and child and adolescent grief. She teaches parenting classes at Boulder Community Health, the JCC, and local day cares.
- Potty training: covered on Clever Parenting, Audra's separate early-childhood site, not on this site.
