Welcome!

I’m Abigail Ortega, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker & Parent-Child Coach with a deep passion for transforming lives and strengthening family bonds. At Abigail Ortega Coaching & Consulting, I specialize in helping parents and families navigate the journey toward deeper connections and a more harmonious family dynamic.

Our mission is to empower you with the tools and strategies needed to enhance your parent-child relationships, foster better communication, and build resilience within your family. By guiding you through transformative pathways, I aim to create happier families and contribute to stronger, more supportive communities.

As a child, I treasured spending time with my siblings and cousins, as well as the meaningful interactions with the adults in my life. These early experiences fostered a deep appreciation for safe and meaningful relationships. However, I’ve observed significant shifts in parent-child dynamics due to several societal changes.

Economic pressures, including the need for dual-income households and job insecurity, have shifted family dynamics. Parents may feel stressed or preoccupied, which can impact their ability to engage meaningfully with their children. The stress of financial instability often heightens parental anxiety, affecting interactions and emotional availability.

Additionally, evolving family structures, such as single-parent and blended families, and cultural shifts in parenting approaches have influenced parent-child bonds. There has been a move towards more collaborative and communicative parenting styles, but this varies widely and can affect how relationships are navigated and understood.
