As an RP and RN I have a passion for helping others. The most common mental health challenges I provide psychotherapy for are anxiety, depression, relationship struggles and parenting challenges. I use the Adlerian approach of psychodynamic psychotherapy, a form of talk therapy, to help clients improve their lives by examining their beliefs about themselves. I help clients understand how beliefs formed in childhood influence them as adults. This process empowers us to heal and gain strength from knowing ourselves on a deeper and more authentic level.

Life can sometimes feel so chaotic. But where do you fit into the mix? Maybe you take on the role of looking after everyone around you, or perhaps you've shut down and don't feel like you can be there for yourself or others like you want to be. So many of us can find ourselves in the last category because we don't take time for ourselves or address challenges when they appear. For some, we feel guilty about putting ourselves first for a change. To this point, L. R. Knost said it best: “Taking care of yourself doesn't mean me first; it means me too."

Parenting Counsellors
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
