Support for the moment you're actually in.

When a conversation goes sideways, you usually don’t need more parenting information.You need help sorting out:
What is actually happening here?
What am I afraid will happen next?
What matters most right now?
What can I say or do without making this worse?

Parent/Teen Reset helps you slow the moment down, regain your clarity, and choose a response you can stand behind.

Stay grounded under pressure.

Use brief, DBT-informed tools to settle your reaction before you respond.

Hold boundaries without turning them into a battleClarify the limit, decide what you will do, and follow through without trying to control your teen’s reaction.

Stay connected without carrying everything

Understand what may be happening beneath the behavior while allowing your teen to begin carrying what belongs to them.

Jenny Hwang, Ph.D.

Parent coach, psychologist, and creator of Project Parent Coach, supporting thousands of families build stronger, more connected relationships. 

For more than two decades, I’ve worked with parents navigating adolescence and young adulthood.

Again and again, I saw that parents often understood what they were supposed to do—but lost access to that understanding when the moment became emotionally loaded.

Parent/Teen Reset was built to help close that gap: between knowing and doing, between insight and capacity, and between the reaction you have automatically and the response you actually want to choose.

Jenny Hwang, Ph.D., is a psychologist and parent coach who helps families navigate adolescence with greater steadiness, accountability, and connection.

Welcome!

Working with Jenny Hwang has been a game changer. As a parent, I often felt confused and unsure of how to connect with my teenager and pro-actively parent throughout the teen years. Jenny not only gave me actionable strategies to improve communication but also showed me how to approach parenting with more empathy, boundaries, confidence, simplicity, humility, intelligence, and tranquility. I’m a better parent because of her; I can’t recommend her expertise enough!
