Meet Carolyn
Certified Parenting Coach
I’m Carolyn Guthrie and I am the mother of three fantastic young adult children. I founded Coaching with Carolyn at Nathan’s Waypoint out of a passion to connect with parents whose journey, like mine, might not be “perfect.”
I provide parents with a compassionate, judgment-free space to feel heard and supported—because no one should feel alone in the challenges of parenting. As a Certified Parenting Coach with more than 20 years of experience in conflict management, I help parents manage stress, foster trust, and support their children develop effective coping strategies.
Parent Coaching
Explore how the way you were parented may be shaping how you parent your own children.
Uncover fears and beliefs that have you feeling stuck and shift them to supportive beliefs and practices you can rely on every day.
Establish boundaries you are willing, able and likely to enforce without conflict and stress.
Consider how your own needs, values, and desires play a role in how you support your child—and why honoring them matters for your well-being and your family.
Working with Parenting Coach Carolyn Guthrie has been a transformative experience for both me and my husband. Before meeting Carolyn, our parenting style was marked by inconsistent boundaries and frequent conflict. Through her empathetic and insightful coaching, we shifted to setting consistent boundaries and taking a more supportive approach—not just with our child, but also with each other. Carolyn created a space where our thoughts and opinions were genuinely valued while she shared the principles of her parenting program.

Carolyn has a unique ability to make connections with people. She is a compassionate listener with a depth of caring that you rarely find in people you first meet. I would describe her as strong, calm, capable, warm and armed with determination. Her combined professional and personal experiences make her the ideal resource to help navigate difficult times.

Carolyn Lambert is a warm, compassionate soul who I would trust to help me in any situation, especially one involving a stressed teen. She's come through the struggle of having an anxious teen herself, and her wisdom would be invaluable to someone new trying to navigate through solution options.

Parent Testimonials
Focus on Anxiety & Depression
Parenting an adolescent or young adult with debilitating anxiety and depression can feel overwhelming, isolating, and uncertain. Finding a path to peace and wellness—for both you and your child—is not easy.
You don’t have to navigate this journey alone. I help parents better understand what’s truly driving their child’s struggles and provide guidance when anxiety and depression are at the core.
In these cases, support beyond a traditional parent coaching program is often needed—and that’s where specialized, compassionate care makes a difference.
