When a loved one’s substance use disorder (SUD) takes over your family, the fear, exhaustion, and heartbreak can feel endless. Grace Kerby walks alongside parents — helping you set boundaries, reclaim your peace, and find joy again. You can’t control their choices, but you can rebuild your own life.
Parent coaching for families affected by substance use disorder — private, one-on-one support across North Texas and online nationwide.
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.
The place I wished I’d had during my hardest days — where parents feel seen, understood, and supported.
Real strategies for communication, boundaries, and self-care that bring peace back into your home.
You can’t control their choices — but I’ll help you separate your identity from their substance use disorder (SUD) and begin to breathe again.
Grace meets you where you are — exhausted, afraid, and unsure — and walks with you toward peace, clarity, and your own life again.
Private, compassionate sessions to move you from powerless to grounded, clear, and empowered.
Set loving, firm boundaries with your loved one — without guilt, and without losing yourself.
Separate your identity from your child’s SUD, and rediscover who you are and what brings you joy.
Proven frameworks for families affected by SUD — delivered one-on-one, not in a group.
Rebuild the communication between spouses, siblings, and extended family that SUD quietly fractures.
Continued monthly coaching to sustain your progress and stay grounded long after the program ends.
Two structured 8-module curricula, tailored to your situation — each with a core theme, guided coaching questions, and practical action steps, at a pace that fits your life.
For parents whose teenager is still at home and experimenting with — or regularly using — alcohol or drugs. While you still share a roof, you can shift your role from punisher to trusted guide, and trade cycles of fear and control for calm, confident leadership.
Explore the teen program →For parents of an adult child navigating substance use disorder (SUD). You can't walk their journey for them — but you can stop the cycle of enabling, protect your own well-being, and rediscover your own hope and purpose, moving from carrying their burdens to standing on solid ground.

You don’t have to have it figured out to start. We begin right where you are.
A warm 30-minute conversation — no pressure, no commitment. We explore what’s happening and whether we’re a good fit.
Together we create a coaching plan built around your family’s specific needs, pace, and goals.
In-person or online, we work through practical tools, mindset shifts, and real-world exercises between sessions.
As we wrap up, I leave you with a self-sustaining toolkit so your family keeps growing long after coaching ends.
“Grace is an incredibly dedicated, empathetic, and skilled leader who creates a safe, non-judgmental place for families of addicted loved ones to openly share the emotions we all go through. She received us with open arms and has always been there through the tough times.”
“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.”
“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.”
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.
