“I didn’t think it was going to be this hard…”

“I just want to raise good kids…"

Welcome to Guided Parenting Support - GPS®

I’m Kate Garzón, M.Ed, and I’m a “GPS” for the parents of toddlers through teens! I’m a parent educator and parenting coach who helps parents solve frustrating behaviors - and raise great humans - by focusing on relationship-building, understanding development, and skill-building. I help loving parents who are tired of feeling like their efforts to “do it right” aren’t being reflected in their family lives. Through customized, 1:1 coaching, we use my four-part parenting roadmap to create connected and collaborative families where every member is a valued contributor.

“I’m the parent I am today, thanks in part to her brilliant words of wisdom and endless support.”

“Sometimes in life there are phrases that stick with you - you pull them out to support and help you, even through the most challenging of moments. Kate Garzón’s voice has been guiding me as a parent for years, cultivating a truly rewarding and delightful family… and resilient kids. Luckily, we met when my eldest was not yet crawling, and I’ll forever be grateful. I’m the parent I am today, thanks in part to her brilliant words of wisdom and endless support.”

-Allison Tannis, MSc, RHN, Nutrition Geek, Author & Mom-of-a-Picky Eater

“Kate guided us through a traumatic and challenging time in our lives, and we came out the other side not only better and happier parents, but also better and happier people.

"It’s challenging to quantify just how influential and important Kate’s Guided Parenting Support program is and was for our family. While it started with the goal of hoping to explore ways to help our two children (6 & 3) process their feelings better and reduce tantrums, it evolved into so much more.

We dissected the root cause of these emotional episodes, how they often tied back to our own parenting techniques, and more importantly how our own emotional and mental health laid the groundwork for our children.

Rather than looking for the easy or quick fix, she assisted us in finding real solutions which worked for our specific family. This was difficult and emotional at times, but enormously effective.
Kate guided us through a traumatic and challenging time in our lives, and we came out the other side not only better and happier parents, but also better and happier people.

We love her for this and are forever thankful."

“Approachable and always empowering”

“As a mother of two teenagers, the landscape of parenting is ever- changing. Kate is an incredible resource who always makes me feelequipped with the tools I need during this period. Most importantly she provides guidance and an understanding of their needs and development. Her coaching is approachable and always empowering —as a parent I feel more confident in my role thanks to her.”

-Parent of 13 and 15 year olds
