"Almost three years ago, I was blindsided by my child's opioid addiction and felt utterly lost. It was during this dark time that I met Marti Roveda. She provided the solace and support I desperately needed, helping me build a toolbox for my own recovery. With her guidance, I learned I wasn't alone and gained the knowledge to set boundaries that protect my well-being. Thanks to Marti, I am now more resilient and better equipped to support my family while maintaining my own peace and serenity."

"Learning from Marti these past 2 ½ years has been life changing for me. At my lowest point, her stories provided not only comfort and hope, but also taught me skills I could apply to my own life. Even today, I look forward to our conversations as she has become someone I can trust sharing my own personal successes and also my fears about my son’s journey."
- Tiffany E. - FL
"Marti and I connected during a challenging period in my life when my 15-year-old son was entering a treatment center for substance abuse. Having faced similar struggles, Marti founded a support group for parents of adolescents in treatment. I joined shortly thereafter, and it profoundly impacted my approach, mindset, and self-belief.
Marti's wisdom and personal growth have been a beacon of hope for many, as she shares her insights with honesty and openness. Thanks to her leadership, the group has thrived, offering invaluable support to other parents. Marti's compassionate, kind, and structured approach, combined with her strength and experience, has made her an exceptional coach. I am grateful to count her as both a guide and a friend."

"Marti has been a bright light in what seems to have been a never ending battle raising my teenage daughter. She became my place of CALM in the storm as she guided me further into working my own program to find serenity. Marti has the knowledge, the experience and the insight into helping any parent finding themselves in a place of despair and worry. I am so thankful for our connection and her mentorship. Her guidance has made all the difference as I have raised my teenage daughter through some darker trials."
-Kristi S. - GA
"Marti was my coach while my child participated in a substance use disorder (SUD) recovery program, and she is truly one of the most authentic people I’ve ever met. Her personal journey as a parent of a child with SUD served as a guiding light for me. Marti’s honesty and sincerity helped me avoid many pitfalls and unnecessary mistakes. Her deep vulnerability and self-awareness provided a solid foundation for our connection, making me feel safe to share my thoughts and seek her coaching. Marti is a dedicated learner with extensive knowledge of the 12 Steps, addiction recovery, and special needs children. Her guidance has been invaluable in helping me support my child. She embodies consistency, resiliency, and unwavering faith."

"The journey of a parent with an addicted child is often filled with hopelessness, frustration, and confusion. We’re led to believe we can fix our child, often at the cost of our own sanity. I struggled to understand why I couldn’t help my son, despite all the programs we tried. I felt like a ship lost at sea—directionless and powerless.
Marti provided the guidance and hope I desperately needed. She connected me with a community of others facing similar challenges and introduced proven programs focused on my recovery while teaching me to release my child with love. Though my journey isn’t over, Marti has been crucial in helping me regain my footing so I can navigate these turbulent waters."
"If love for a child were enough, then there would be no addicted children." - Unknown

"Working with Marti has been transformative for my family. When my teenage son struggled with addiction, we felt lost and overwhelmed. Marti provided expert guidance and compassionate support that made all the difference. Her deep understanding of addiction and family dynamics helped us develop practical strategies tailored to our needs. She taught us effective communication, healthy boundaries, and how to rebuild trust, keeping us focused on recovery and healing.
Beyond her expertise, Marti’s warmth and empathy made us feel genuinely cared for. Her unwavering support was a beacon of hope during our darkest times. Thanks to her, we’ve made significant progress and are now on a path toward healing and resilience.
I cannot recommend Marti highly enough. Her impact on our lives has been profound, and we are deeply grateful for her guidance and support."
-Scott L. - FL
“When my son entered treatment, I was consumed by fear and shame. I had done everything I thought a good parent should—but I was lost. I didn’t realize how much of my parenting was driven by my own unresolved past and anxiety.
Working with Marti helped me see the deeper patterns I was repeating—and gave me the tools to break them. I learned how to regulate my emotions, communicate with empathy, and let my son have his own experience without needing to control it.
Now, instead of panic and power struggles, there’s presence, calm, and real connection. I don’t know if I meet anyone’s definition of a ‘good’ parent—but I finally feel like a healthy parent in a healthy relationship with my child. That’s more than enough.”

The Mission at Equanimity
Equanimity Parent Coaching helps parents of adolescents and young adults find clarity, confidence, and emotional steadiness, especially when substance use, mental health struggles, or behavioral challenges have taken over the home.
Parenting a teen or young adult in crisis can feel overwhelming and isolating. You’re doing everything you can to help your child, yet the stress, fear, and uncertainty keep building. You may feel stuck between wanting to support them and needing to protect your own well-being.
That’s where Equanimity comes in.
I guide parents through a practical, neuroscience-informed process that builds resilience, strengthens communication, and restores emotional balance. You’ll learn how to stay grounded during tough conversations, set boundaries that align with your values, and respond to your child’s behavior with clarity instead of fear.
This work is about more than getting through a crisis, it’s about creating a healthier, more connected family system where healing can take root. When parents learn to regulate their emotions, maintain calm leadership, and shift old patterns, they give their children the best chance to grow, recover, and thrive.
Whether you’re facing teen substance use, young-adult mental health concerns, or the daily challenges of parenting a complex kid, Equanimity Parent Coaching offers compassionate guidance, evidence-aligned tools, and a clear path forward.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. Together, we create space for calm, grounded parenting, no matter what your child is facing.
Approach
My mission is personal: to empower parents to stay grounded, emotionally strong, and connected through uncertainty. I guide you in breaking cycles of stress, building trust, and creating a nurturing space for healing and growth.
You don’t have to do this alone. Together, we’ll embrace both the struggle and the joy—with equanimity.
With gratitude and compassion,
Marti Roveda, CPS-P & CPC
