Graciela Pulliam

I’m Graciela Pulliam, a bilingual parent and family coach with over 20 years of experience as a licensed mental health counselor. I specialize in supporting children and teens with emotional regulation, anxiety, autism-related challenges, and executive function needs, while empowering parents with practical tools for connection, confidence, and healthy family dynamics. Through Roots and Blooms Coaching, I offer warm, evidence-informed coaching to help families grow strong roots and blossom into their potential.

Whether you're navigating toddler tantrums, raising emotionally intelligent teens, or trying to find balance in your parenting journey, this space is for you.

I work collaboratively with parents, kids, and teens using a warm, practical style focused on real-life skills. My coaching integrates evidence-informed strategies—like CBT tools, DBT emotion regulation, executive function support, and family systems principles—to help families reduce stress, improve communication, and build confidence. I specialize in parenting guidance, emotional regulation, autism-informed strategies, anxiety support, motivation, and entrepreneurial skill-building for kids.

During the first session, clients can expect a calm, supportive environment where we explore your goals, challenges, and your child or family’s strengths. We’ll build a shared understanding of what’s happening, choose 1–2 goals to focus on, and I’ll provide at least one practical tool or strategy you can use right away. My aim is for you to leave feeling clear, supported, and encouraged about your path forward.
