Parents of Teens, join THE VILLAGE, a support group just for you.

You are not alone.
You are not powerless.
Your life still matters.

Grace Kerby coaches parents, partners, and families through the seasons that strain them most — a loved one’s addiction, a child who has stopped talking, a marriage that has gone quiet. The work underneath is the same: honest communication, boundaries you can hold, and a life that feels like your own again.

Coaching for parents, families, and couples — including families affected by substance use disorder — private, one-on-one support across North Texas and online nationwide.

Which one sounds like you?

Three ways I walk alongside families

Start where it hurts. Every path leads to the same free, private conversation.

Parents of an addicted loved one

Your child is using, and your whole life has narrowed down to bracing for the next call. Learn to stop enabling, hold boundaries without guilt, and get your own life back.

See how this works

Parenting, at every age

Nobody is in crisis — but the teenager answers in one word, or the grown child rarely calls. Rebuild the connection without lectures, ultimatums, or walking on eggshells.

See how this works

Marriage & relationships

Two people under one roof who have quietly stopped talking. After 41 years of marriage — and every hard season inside it — I help couples say the real thing out loud again.

Not sure where you fit? That is exactly what the first conversation is for. Start here.

About Your Coach

I’ve been where you are. That’s why I’m the right person to help.

Grounded by a 41-year marriage, three children, and eight grandchildren, my life’s work has always been rooted in family. I hold a degree in Psychology, am a Certified Mediator, and serve as a Regional Coordinator and facilitator for Parents of Addicted Loved Ones (PAL).

I founded Kerby Konnects to bring straight talk, communication tools, and boundary education directly to the families who need them most. You don’t have to navigate this storm alone — let’s step back onto solid ground together.

Private, judgment-free space

The place I wished I’d had during my own hardest days — where you feel seen and understood, not managed.

Practical tools, not platitudes

Real strategies for communication, boundaries, and self-care that bring peace back into your home.

Reclaim your own life

You can’t control anyone else’s choices — but I’ll help you stop disappearing into them and begin to breathe again.

How I Can Help

The work is the same, whichever door you came through

Whether it is addiction, a child you can’t reach, or a marriage gone quiet, Grace meets you where you are and walks with you toward clarity, steadier ground, and your own life again.

1-on-1 Coaching

Private, compassionate sessions built around your family — to move you from powerless to grounded, clear, and steady.

Most popular

Boundaries & Communication

Set loving, firm limits — with a teenager, an adult child, or a partner — without guilt, and without losing yourself.

Essential skills

Self-Care & Identity Recovery

Stop disappearing into everyone else’s crisis. Rediscover who you are and what still brings you joy.

Reclaim yourself

Evidence-Based Family Support

Proven frameworks for families under strain — including families affected by SUD — delivered one-on-one, not in a group.

Evidence-based

Family Relationship Repair

Rebuild the communication between partners, siblings, and grown children that hard seasons quietly fracture.

Ongoing Support

Continued monthly coaching to sustain your progress and stay grounded long after the program ends.

Long-term
Beyond single sessions

Structured programs, when you want a road map

Most coaching is one-on-one and built around you. When you'd rather follow a set path, Grace also runs structured multi-week curricula — currently two, both for families facing a loved one's substance use.

“For those that get the opportunity to work with Grace your life will be forever changed. She has unbelievable compassion for helping others. You will leave with many resources and tools to help navigate this difficult season in your life. As well as feel heard and seen from someone who has been on the exact same dark path you are on with assurance you do not walk it alone.”

Denise M. Worked with Grace one-on-one
★★★★★

“I have never been in a setting where people arrive scared and often shattered, and inevitably leave lighter — with clearer insight, actionable tools, and hope. In meeting with her, my husband has gained clarity and hope, and I received the wisdom and a safe space to heal that literally saved me during a heart-breaking loss.”

Common Questions

Things people often wonder before reaching out

It takes courage to ask for help when you’re the one who’s “supposed to be okay.” These questions might ease the first step.

Ask me directly
Coaching is forward-focused — we work on practical tools, boundaries, communication, and rebuilding your own life right now. Therapy goes deeper into past trauma. Many clients find coaching a powerful complement to therapy, and Grace works collaboratively with therapists when appropriate.
Absolutely not. This coaching is for you, regardless of where your loved one is in their journey. You don’t need to wait for anyone else to change before you start. In fact, your own growth often shifts the whole family dynamic.
Most clients work with Grace for 6–12 weeks to build a strong foundation of tools and mindset shifts. Some prefer ongoing monthly support as their situation evolves. We’ll figure out what fits your needs together from the very first call.
Yes — fully online. Grace works with clients across the country via secure video sessions. Many find the privacy and comfort of their own home makes sessions even more open and productive. No travel required, no waiting rooms.
Completely normal — and one of the most important things Grace helps people work through. Taking care of yourself is not selfish; it’s necessary. You cannot pour from an empty cup. Someone who is grounded, clear, and steady is far better equipped to love and support the people around them than someone who is depleted.
Absolutely. Everything shared in sessions is strictly confidential. Your family’s story is safe with Grace. She follows a professional code of ethics and takes the privacy of every client with the utmost seriousness.
Your family is worth it

You don’t have to do this alone.
Reach out and begin your journey back to peace.

No matter how long you’ve been carrying this — there is a way forward. Grace will walk that path with you.
