WELCOME Brain-Based Guidance For The Adolescent Years
When Your Teen Is Struggling, You Feel It Too Anxiety that won’t let up. Shutting down instead of talking. Outbursts that come out of nowhere. Impulsive choices that scare you. Or a loss that’s changed everything. Whatever your teen is carrying, you don’t have to watch from the outside anymore — and neither do they. I coach teens directly, giving them a space that’s theirs to build real skills: understanding what they’re feeling, developing healthier coping tools, reducing anxiety, and finding their way back to hope. And because you’re carrying this too, I coach parents alongside them — practical tools, real language, and support so you’re not walking through it alone. This work is for teens who’ve experienced:
• Anxiety or constant worry
• ADHD, distraction, or difficulty completing tasks
• Depression, isolation, or low motivation
• Impulsive or unsafe behavior
• School avoidance
• Emotional outbursts
• A traumatic event, including loss or grief And it’s for parents ready to:
• Understand what’s happening in their teen’s brain and behavior
• Communicate in ways that build trust instead of distance
• Set boundaries that are healthy, loving, and actually hold You and your teen deserve real tools, not just reassurance.
Rising Tide Solutions provides coaching only. This is not medical treatment, psychiatric care, or therapy.
About Me
Hi, I'm Dr. Miriam Mansour — mom of four, physician by training, and now a Teen and Parent Coach.
My path here started with a medical degree, an adult psychiatry residency at Michigan State / Western Michigan University, and a fellowship in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. I worked in community programs, inpatient hospitals, and outpatient care — and saw what families really need at every level of support.
Today I help teens build real skills — understanding their emotions, coping tools, confidence — and I give parents practical language for the moments that matter: the shutdowns, the blowups, the "you don't get it."
Why work with me:
-
Medical & psychiatric expertise, applied to everyday family life — a high-level understanding of the adolescent brain, straight to your family.
-
Word-for-word scripts and tools you can use the same day. No clinical waitlists, no vague advice.
-
Support for the whole family: your teen gets a space that's theirs; you get guidance that actually helps at home.
Most teens I work with aren't in crisis — they're stuck. And most parents don't need therapy — they need a translator for the teenage brain. That's what I do.
Ready to take the first step? Book a free discovery call today, and let’s talk about what your family needs — whether that’s coaching for your teen, for you, or both.
Coaching is not medical treatment, psychiatric care, or therapy, and is not a substitute for licensed mental health services.

"We are so thankful to have found Dr. M! She has been such a positive influence for my son, helping him work through anger, school struggles, and challenges at home. I really appreciate her coaching approach and how she gives him practical strategies while also helping me as a parent find better ways to communicate and meet him in the middle. She truly listens, understands, and genuinely cares. We've already seen positive changes, and I'm so grateful for the support she's given our family."

My Approach
Who Benefits from Teen & Parent Coaching?
Coaching is for teens who don’t need a crisis to justify getting support, and for parents who don’t need to already be in therapy to get help.
This may be right for your family if:
• Your teen is dealing with anxiety, low motivation, big emotions, or a hard life event, and needs somewhere to build real skills
• Conversations at home shut down before they even start
• You’re not sure if what you’re seeing is normal development or something that needs more attention
• You want practical tools and language, not just validation
• Your teen is already in therapy (or you are) and you want coaching alongside it for additional, practical support
How Coaching Can Complement — Not Replace Therapy
Coaching and therapy serve different purposes. While therapy focuses on clinical diagnosis and treatment, coaching is practical, proactive, and skills-focused.
● Accessible & Proactive: Get support sooner without waiting months for a clinical opening.
● Family-Centered: Build real-world tools that both you and your teen can use right away.
● Works Alongside Care: Coaching provides guidance informed by medical training, and it serves wonderfully as a starting point or alongside existing therapy. (Note: Coaching is not a substitute for formal psychiatric care or diagnosis. If your teen is in clinical crisis, I always encourage partnering with a licensed clinical provider).
Every teen and every family deserves real tools and real understanding — not guesswork. That’s what Rising Tide Solutions is here to provide.
