About Me
I’m Christa Worrell, a certified Transformational Parenting Coach, school-based behavior specialist, and founder of The Thriving Parent. I bring more than 15 years of experience in education and behavior support, along with lived experience as the parent of a neurodivergent child. I walk alongside parents who feel frustrated or unsure how to help their child. I support families navigating autism, ADHD, sensory differences, and behavioral challenges. Together, we look at what may be driving your child’s behavior and build a practical plan for challenges such as meltdowns, difficult transitions, and homework struggles. I also help parents and caregivers agree on how to respond so they can work together and build a stronger connection with their child. I help families navigate school support by preparing for meetings, sorting through questions about 504 plans and IEPs, and communicating with teachers about what helps their child learn and participate. My goal is to help you understand why things feel hard for your child, feel more confident about what to do next, and bring more calm and connection to everyday life.
I help parents find the balance between accommodations and accountability, so their child gets the support they need and has room to practice taking responsibility as they grow.
Background & qualifications
I’m a certified Transformational Parenting Coach through the Jai Institute for Parenting, a school-based behavior specialist, and the founder of The Thriving Parent. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and bring more than 15 years of experience in classroom education, academic intervention, and behavior support. In schools, I’ve worked with students, families, and educators to understand what happens before a child becomes overwhelmed, identify where they need support, and develop practical plans. My experience includes helping students manage big emotions, navigate transitions, ask for breaks, and return to learning after a difficult moment. I bring that school experience to my coaching with parents. I help families prepare for school meetings, organize questions about 504 plans and IEPs, and communicate with teachers about what helps their child participate and learn. I also help caregivers agree on how to respond to challenging behavior and create plans they can follow at home. As the parent of a neurodivergent child, I know how much thought goes into deciding when to make an accommodation and when to hold an expectation. That lived experience, alongside my training and work in schools, shapes how I support families navigating autism, ADHD, and sensory differences. I help parents find a balance between accommodations and accountability so their child gets the support they need while building the skills to take on more responsibility over time.
