Family Coaching
Having a healthy partnership/marriage takes constant work and care, and being parents is life’s most rewarding yet challenging job. When all of our personalities need to work together day in and day out, difficulties will arise. It’s how we deal with these issues that makes all the difference.I assist families dealing with the following issues:
Co-parenting struggles, Parental division,
Special needs children
, Breakdown in family communication
.I work with families using a 3 part approach:
1- Assessment: information gathering, family history, presenting issues and desired change.
2- Development of a Family Healing Plan:
This is essentially creating a road map for family healing and functioning. We cover all goals and pitfalls such as:
Uniting the parents
, Identifying healthy boundaries,
Creating a home contract with rules, expectations and consequences,
Creating a support system for each family member
.I also believe it is essential that all professionals working with the family are working together as a team. I work diligently to create a partnership with teachers, psychologists, therapists, doctors etc. to provide the family with the best chance at success.
3- The Work
The last step is doing the WORK. We work closely with the family both with in home coaching sessions and phone support to implement the Family Healing Plan.

Coach/Mentor - Mark Johnson
My name is Mark Johnson, and I am originally from Ohio, now currently living in San Diego. I am a biracial man, who has gone through many different obstacles and challenges in my life. I have faced many issues surrounding race with not only random people on the streets, but within my family as well. I want to help people come together and celebrate each other’s differences. As a coach and mentor I help mixed people with identity issues, single parents of mixed kids and people who are in interracial relationships.
I am a person who is also living with Epilepsy, and work as an advocate assisting others who are struggling with this disease. I have found poetry as an outlet to work through my feelings and frustrations and as a way to teach others while fighting my battle with Epilepsy. I want people to know that there is hope for us all. I am looking forward to working as a coach and mentor with Diverse World Coaching and am available should anyone have any questions or need support. Remember “One Day at a Time, One Step at a Time!”
One Love,
Mark Johnson
