Gabriele Nicolet Parent Coaching – Serving Potomac, Washington DC

Your Partner in Toddler Language, Developmental & Behavior Support

At Gabriele Nicolet Parent Coaching, we understand how concerning it can be when your toddler isn’t meeting developmental or behavior milestones. Based in the DC metro area and now proudly serving Potomac and North Potomac, we specialize in compassionate, expert-led parent coaching for children ages 0–5.

Whether you're navigating tantrums, feeding difficulties, or sensory and emotional challenges, we're here to guide your family with clarity, empathy, and proven strategies. We also offer occupational therapy support, feeding therapy referrals, and language development services tailored to individual needs.

About Our Comprehensive Parent Coaching and Pediatric Support Services

Led by veteran child development expert Gabriele Nicolet, our private clinic provides early intervention support that bridges the gap between behavior management, language development, and parenting. We work directly with parents to decode toddler behavior, support functional development, and help you confidently guide your child’s growth. Our services are rooted in evidence-based practices and family-centered healthcare values.

Our Full Range of Behavior, Developmental, and Occupational Therapy Services for Potomac Families

We meet you where you are—emotionally, geographically, and developmentally—offering flexible scheduling, in-home options, and deeply empathetic care. Each service is rooted in our belief that empowered parents lead to thriving children. We proudly offer therapy services in your home, at our coaching center, or virtually across Maryland and DC.

We offer a range of services that cater to families seeking real answers and lasting progress.

Parent Coaching and Developmental Support

Our family therapy in Bethesda focuses on improving communication, emotional regulation, and understanding within your family. These sessions include parents, kids, and teens as needed, and are tailored to build a healthier family environment.

Whether you're a single parent or part of a two-parent household, we help you foster a positive and supportive experience that improves relationships and builds connections.

Roadmap Consultations and Individualized Evaluations

Comprehensive 1-on-1 assessments to understand your child’s needs and provide clear next steps.


We help uncover challenges related to feeding, communication, or behavioral difficulty, including conditions like tongue tie or thumb sucking, with tailored plans for both children and adults.

Occupational Therapy Support and Referrals

Although we do not offer in-house occupational therapy, we provide coordination, referrals, and developmental insight for families needing support with handwriting, dressing skills, fine motor development, or sensory challenges. These occupational therapy services help improve everyday function and self-care ability.

Educational Workshops & Webinars for Parents and Educators

Educational resources designed to empower caregivers and educators.
Topics range from “Feeding and Language Challenges in Toddlers” to managing tantrums and early developmental delay. We explore AAC (augmentative and alternative communication), orofacial myology, sensory techniques, and co-regulation strategies.

Virtual Coaching & Support in Potomac and Beyond

Flexible, high-touch coaching and consultation services are accessible online from the comfort of your Potomac or North Potomac home.
Our virtual sessions are ideal for parents across the metro area seeking support for feeding routines, functional development, or behavioral guidance. We support both children and adults as needed.
