Helping Teens and Parents Thrive Together
Parenting actually gets easier when we understand where our experience comes from. At Winslow Coaching, I work with immigrant parents and teens who feel emotionally or culturally disconnected but not by fixing the surface, but by helping them reconnect with the deeper clarity and wisdom they already have inside.
Once we slow down and see what’s true for us, communication shifts, trust rebuilds, and connection starts to feel natural again. You don’t need more tools - you can just come home to yourself. From there, everything changes.

Meet the Founder
Hi, I’m Kate Winslow, founder of Winslow Coaching, mom of two amazing kids, and a dog lover living in the beautiful Santa Cruz Mountains among the redwoods. When I’m not working in operations at a venture capital firm, I’m following my passion for helping teens and their parents find more ease, connection, and understanding in their relationships.
Why teen coaching? Because I know what it’s like to feel lost between worlds -cultural, emotional, and generational and I also know that clarity always comes when we slow down and listen to the deeper intelligence within us.
My work isn’t about fixing or doing more; it’s about uncovering what’s already true and steady inside of you. From that space, communication becomes easier, trust rebuilds naturally, and both teens and parents begin to experience a sense of calm and connection that was there all along.
My Approach
Relaxed and Real
No pressure, no lectures—just real conversations that actually make sense. Whether you're figuring out how to handle life’s curveballs or you’re a parent trying to get through to your teen, we keep it chill. I’m not here to tell you what to do; I’m here to help you find your own way, at your own pace, without making things feel like a to-do list.
Collaborative
I believe in the power of collaboration to create meaningful change. Whether you’re a young adult finding your voice or a parent working to reconnect, we’ll approach this journey together. I’m here as a guide, but this is a partnership—you bring your experiences, and I’ll help you shape them into actionable steps. Together, we’ll break through the challenges to create real, lasting transformation.

Therapy vs. Coaching: What’s the Difference?
It’s important to know the difference between therapy and coaching, especially when deciding what’s best for you or your family. Therapy is often about looking back—exploring past experiences, working through emotional pain, and understanding the root causes of your struggles. It’s a valuable process for healing and addressing unresolved issues from the past.
On the other hand, coaching focuses on the present and the future. At Winslow Coaching, we work on building practical tools to help you navigate your life right now and set you up for success in the future. It’s about action, awareness, and growth—whether you’re a teen figuring out who you are or a parent working to reconnect with your young adult.
While therapy can be a deep dive into understanding past challenges, coaching is here to empower you with the skills and strategies to move forward with confidence and clarity.
