Tara Egan, LCMHCA, D.Ed.

Charlotte Parent Coaching, LLC

I hold a doctorate in school psychology and I have specialized training in counseling and family-school relations. I’ve worked in public schools, private schools, and mental health centers, and I established Charlotte Parent Coaching, LLC in 2011. I’ve worked as an adjunct professor in the undergraduate psychology department at two colleges, and I'm the author of two books; Better Behavior for Ages 2-10 (Lesson Ladder, 2013) and Adolescence: A Parent's Guide (Rockridge Press, 2020). I co-host a parenting podcast called "One Day You'll Thank Me" with my teenage daughter, Anna. I have nearly 20 years of experience in this field, and I'm dedicated to my clients and their families.

 

I’m a wife, an ex-wife, a mom, and a stepmom. I’m a child & adolescent therapist, a parent coach, a podcast host, an author, and a public speaker.
