About This coach
Hi! I’m Tracy Cooper—a lifelong advocate for children, families, and authentic connection. I help parents and caregivers nurture deep, lasting bonds with their children.
Since earning my Master of Social Work degree in 1998, my journey has taken me from Los Angeles Family Court to schools, orphanages in Haiti, and beyond. I’ve supported families as a counselor, case manager, educator, and now as a full-time elementary school social worker—always guided by a belief that our work chooses us.
I’ve worked with children and families in mental health counseling, case management, and family preservation, as well as with orphaned children in Haiti, and with families in custody mediation at the Los Angeles Family Court Services. I have also taught and counseled in elementary and middle schools. I am now a full-time elementary school social worker, providing community outreach and support to parents, as well as one-on-one school-based therapy to children from Pre-K to 5th grade, utilizing talk therapy, expressive arts, and play.
I especially enjoy working with parents who want to heal generational patterns, strengthen their bonds, and bring more calm and confidence to family life. My specialties include supporting couples, divorced parents, and single mothers—drawing on ongoing studies in attachment, neurodevelopment, and peaceful communication.
I am a proud mother of two young adults now living on their own. They inspire me to grow into my best self. It’s never too late to strengthen relationships and express unconditional love for our children and those we love. I recently became "Yaya" to our first grandchild, born in January 2024. We cherish supporting her as she grows. Grandparenting gives us insights we didn’t have when our children were young, bringing us joy.
My passion for coaching comes from my own experience growing up feeling unseen and longing for emotional safety. My journey as a parent taught me that real change begins with self-awareness and self-compassion. I know that every parent is doing their best, and I provide a non-judgmental space for them to work through challenges and create new patterns of connection and trust.
Wherever you are on your parenting path, you deserve support. Let’s work together to nurture a deeper connection and greater joy in your family. It’s never too late to create the relationships you desire—reach out today and take the first step.
