I am Mara Briere, a professional problem solver. I have plenty of training and experience in working with adults blindsided by Life’s experiences. I hold a master’s degree and a nationally recognized credential in Family Life Education, as well as a certificate in substance abuse counseling.

PTP Coaching is a family-oriented, values-driven business that provides coaching for families and individuals. The company was founded in 1996 by Mara Briere with the goal of partnering with adults to develop solutions to their problems.

As a CFLE, I have actively participated in the National Council on Family Relations’ professional development by offering webinars, mentoring peers, and authoring articles for Family Focus.

I bring my previous experiences as a Therapeutic Recreation Specialist, an in-home clinician, and a parenting educator to my current coaching practice.

My vision is to partner with adults who want to develop solutions that will enable them to grow stronger families, marriages, and friendships while also living their purposeful life filled with meaning, joy, peace and deep satisfaction!
