Supporting Parents through Life’s Transitions
The Supported Parent offers two main types of services: parent guidance and school placement consulting. If you’re overwhelmed by the idea of choosing a new school, guiding your children through family changes, or parenting through a never-before-seen scenario, let’s talk.
I accept clients from any location in the United States, and my services are conveniently provided remotely. I have cultivated deep relationships with a variety of schools in the Atlanta area during my two-decade career, giving me an additional layer of expertise in the Atlanta market for school placement clients. All school packages include researching schools and serving as a liaison between the family and schools as appropriate, in addition to the work I do directly with the child and family.

Having a trusted go-to person is essential when you need resources or advice. If your child is struggling for whatever reason, I'm your person. My only goal is to see your child thrive.
The Parent Guidance service is designed so you can call on me for support on an ongoing basis, whenever you need it. I listen to your needs, share resources, and point you toward next steps that make sense for your unique circumstances. No parenting topic is too big or too small! Common topics that may be covered in a Parent Guidance session include:
Where to start if you are concerned your child has a learning difference
Parenting through divorce, relocation, or other transitions
Support for parenting and affirming an LGBTQ+ child
Guidance for supporting your child’s social and emotional well-being
Support during grief and loss
Special interests include supporting parents seeking to affirm their LGBTQ+ children and children with learning differences.

“Working with Kimbrell took all the stress out of the admissions process. She helped me really narrow down what was most important to me about my children’s education and matched my wants and needs to the best school to fit our family. Sitting down and talking with Kimbrell was the best decision I made concerning my children’s future.”
