Who are the coaches?

Jill Rees, PhD

I am a psychologist and parent coach with more than 20 years of experience supporting teens, adults, partners, and families. I help parents navigate questions about their child’s gender identity with greater clarity, connection, and confidence. I offer a warm, affirming space where you can slow down, feel supported, and take informed and thoughtful next steps.

I work with parents who want to better understand, support, and advocate for their child, while also supporting parents in better understanding their own gender journey especially in our current western cultural context. I care deeply about helping families stay connected as they move through new territory together. Coaching can be a place to sort through questions, strengthen communication, and move from fear or uncertainty toward steadiness, self-trust, and authentic connection. It is also a space to explore how to support your child at home, in school, and in the wider world with greater clarity and confidence.

My approach is collaborative, practical, and compassionate, blending the depth of psychology with the forward-moving support of coaching. I draw from my experience as a senior therapist, parent, facilitator and sports coach to support families at all points along the gender journey. Together, we can focus on honest conversations, informed decision-making, and everyday tools that help your family feel more grounded, supported, and true to who you are. I can help you make sense of conflicting messages, understand the impact of stress and stigma, and navigate questions about social transition, medical options, and advocacy in ways that are thoughtful, evidence-informed, and aligned with your values.

You do not have to navigate this alone. I offer warm, practical, and affirming support to help your family move from confusion and isolation toward greater understanding, confidence, and care.

FAQ

This support is not limited to one parent alone. We welcome other key family members to participate when appropriate, including co-parents, stepparents, grandparents, or other caregivers who are closely involved in your child’s life. Gender journeys often impact the whole family system, and sometimes healing, understanding, and alignment happen more fully when loved ones can learn and grow together.

You do not need to arrive with everything figured out. You do need to be willing to engage honestly, respectfully, and in good faith.

No. This can support caregivers of gender-diverse people at many different ages and stages.

Parent Coaching  is not a therapy program. Instead, it is an educational and support-focused experience designed to provide parents and caregivers with the tools, knowledge, and resources to better understand and support their gender-diverse child (of any age). While the program offers opportunities to connect with experts and peers, it does not involve clinical therapy or individualized mental health treatment. It aims to create a safe, informative space where families can learn and share, but it is not a substitute for professional therapeutic services.

Because of the nature of this program and the limited number of spots available, once you have committed to the group and paid to reserve your spot, your payment for the program will only be reimbursed when there are clearly unavoidable extenuating circumstances and attendance in another group on other dates is not an option.

After the program has started, reimbursement is not available.

In order to secure your place in this coaching program, we have a thorough onboarding process in place to ensure a safe space of committed parents who need this program the most and are dedicated to completing the whole program alongside the other parents in the group.

After you send us an application, you will have an interview with one or both coaches in which you can ask all the questions you need about the program. You will be fully informed of what participation will require from you. We want to make sure this is the right program for you and it is the right time.
