My name is Debbie Katz and I am an ACPI Certified Coach^® for Parents and Families (ACPI CCPF).

Parent coaching is my personal expression of Ahavas Yisrael (Iove of the Jewish people). Helping Jewish parents strengthen their families is my life-long passion.

I love working with every kind of family. That includes families with children in every age group. It also includes adoptive, grandparent, single parent and special needs families.

I work with parents in the Baltimore-Washington area in person or by phone. For other regions of the globe, my work with parents is by phone or, in certain instances, by email.

Here’s what we’ll do together to improve your family life:

• We will discuss your family values, agree on specific parenting goals and design an action plan.

• I will impart information and share time tested techniques.

• We will work together with educators and other specialists to optimize your support network.

After every session, you will be amazed how empowered you feel. You absolutely CAN meet your parenting challenges and raise positive, emotionally healthy children. My greatest joy will be to help you become the best Jewish parent you can be.

How Can Parent Coaching Help You? 

Family is my top priority. Your family and mine. I have been happily married to my husband Marc for 33 years. We’ve been blessed with four sons, ages 15 through 26, who give us tremendous nachas (satisfaction and joy). To be sure, we have experienced our share of challenges as well: infertility, adoption, bedrest pregnancies, prematurity, learning disabilities, sibling rivalry, ADHD…
our list goes on.   Read More...
