Katherine Endy, PhD

Founder & Lead Parenting Coach

Dr. Katherine Endy holds a PhD from the University of Maryland, Baltimore, where she studied parenting stress, emotion regulation, self-compassion, and mindfulness. She is also a certified NLP practitioner, utilizing Neuro-Linguistic Programming techniques to help parents release emotional patterns and traumas that hold them back from parenting in a calm and confident manner.

With a background as a play therapist and extensive clinical experience, Dr. Endy works with parents in the early parenting phase, focusing on the parent-child relationship. She guides parents in building and maintaining the kind of relationships they envision having with their children into adulthood.

Specializing in supporting parents of highly sensitive or neurodivergent children, including those with ADHD or autism (ASD), Dr. Endy blends her expertise in conscious parenting (sometimes now referred to as “gentle parenting”) with NLP coaching techniques to foster a calm and connected family life.

Dr. Endy’s research has earned several awards, including the Susan J. Zuravin scholarship for children’s behavioral health research. She has contributed to evaluations of early childhood mental health programs through her work with the University of Maryland’s Parenting, Infant, and Early Childhood team and at Georgetown University.

Originally from the coast of Maine, Dr. Endy now resides in Baltimore, Maryland, with her husband and three teenagers. She supports clients across the US, Canada, and worldwide through virtual coaching and workshops.
