DJ Anderson
DJ is a Therapeutic Educational Consultant at Journey to Better and Certified Coach specializing in helping parents navigate the delicate and difficult journey of supporting a teenager who is struggling. She knows this territory well, having experienced it directly with her two children. Both of her children needed out-of-home care. This experience, although painful and complex, helped her family learn and heal together.
DJ works alongside parents as a compassionate, kind, objective, and informed guide. She understands how difficult it can be to acknowledge that your family needs help in ways that are currently unclear, during stressful times. She is non-judgmental and works with you to implement tools, techniques, and strategies that are right for your family.
After 25 years as a Communications executive working in technology, DJ left to follow her heart. Her purpose now is to help parents and their children find the appropriate path to understanding and healing.
DJ is an Associate Member of the Independent Education Consultant Association (IECA) and a member of the National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs (NATSAP).. She earned her coaching certification from New Ventures West, an International Coaching Federation accredited program. She studies relational parenting, attachment theory, trauma, somatic healing, and childhood development with leading experts. Her coaching is also influenced by her work with spiritual teachers over the last 20 years.
