The Parent Guide, LLC
I have had the honor and privilege of being a Parent Coach for almost 20 years. I graduated from the PCI® in the early 2000’s and have worked with hundreds of families to help them create the family life that they desired and deserved. Since then, I have operated a private practice (The Parent Guide, LLC) helping parents whose children have ADHD. For the last five years, I have also been a Parent Coach at the Hallowell/Todaro ADHD Center in Seattle, Washington, and meet virtually with clients of the Hallowell/Todaro ADHD Center in Palo Alto, California.
As a parent coach, I am committed to helping parents understand the gifts of ADHD, unlock its potential, provide them with tools and strategies, and support them on their family journey. I believe that every family and every child is unique and special. My desire is to help guide each family as they learn and grow and help them to implement a plan specifically suited to their needs.
Before I became a parent coach, I was a teacher and also a tutor/coach working with an educational therapist to help children who had ADHD and other learning difficulties. I am married with three grown daughters and my entire family has the gift of ADHD. I have four grandchildren and hope that all of them are also blessed with ADHD.

What Parents Say After Coaching With Me
“Peggy Gomula provided empathy, education, and expertise during parent coaching sessions. The resources and research she shared helped us understand ADHD better and relate to our daughter with empathy. The parenting path she encouraged us to take has allowed us to maintain a loving relationship throughout very challenging times with both our children and especially with our teenage daughter who has the gift of ADHD. Not only did Peggy help us realize our daughter’s potential with specific advice for parenting with ADHD, she (most likely unknowingly) helped me transfer those skills to the children in my sixth grade classes.”

“I came to see Peggy for parenting tips with my tween and teen daughters. What I got was so much more. I learned how to let go of the stuff that didn't matter and to focus more on my relationship with them rather than getting “parenting” right. Having three successful grown children of her own, Peggy's honesty, humor, and compassion gave me the hope and confidence in trying a new approach of supporting my children during these extraordinary years of growth and development.”

“Peggy's gift is authentically connecting with parents to accept the challenges of parenting and appreciate the gifts of the child always. She has been immensely helpful in our parenting journey during the teen years with guidance, love, and laughter. Peggy offers a safe, non-judgmental place to share and she listens with compassion to the specific needs of our family. She was quickly able to help us identify what would make our family life more connected so we could then shift behavior and habits. Peggy delivers information and strategies in a personal way that gives us, as parents, an understanding of how and why it will make a difference in communicating with and supporting our child. She is a vast resource and an unbelievable life-saver with parenting and understanding ADHD. Parenting can feel very lonely at times and Peggy leads wonderful parent support groups that are supportive and productive. Her follow-up is extraordinary and gives us a roadmap to reference along the way. We look forward to our meetings with Peggy and walk away from each session so full of encouragement and empowerment in our parenting. Peggy's experience and perspective have been an absolute blessing to our family. This is Peggy's life work in her family and ours.”
