Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD and/or life changes like divorce or moving? Is your child or teen having a tough time and need support to get back on track? Are parenting challenges rising to the forefront? If so, you or your family members don't have to go it alone. I can help you or your family member learn tools to reduce anxiety/OCD, decrease depression, improve your mindset, and increase your ability to cope with the changes in your world. Sometimes it can be helpful to have someone outside of your family and friends to get support from, and a trained licensed therapist is the way to go.
The Intimacy and Attraction Workshop® is a set of techniques and exercises for inviting presence, connecting through the heart, and exploring the play of masculine and feminine for strong sexual attraction. This potent set of tools will enable you to accurately, cleanly, and powerfully explore the realms of sexual polarity and heartful connection in your own life and with others. The material serves as a means to radically deepen your personal understanding of your own journey, as well as furnish you with the tools to grow intimacy, heart opening, and attraction. https://joannaintara.com/shop/ iaw-p/

New moms often tell me, "this wasn't what I expected". For my clients, it's disorienting when they wanted to become mothers so badly, and then feel so unlike themselves, postpartum. I specialize in perinatal mental health, which covers everything from trying to conceive, to managing postpartum anxiety and depression, to feeling disconnected from a partner. I'm a mom of three and I've been on both ends of the perinatal therapy couch; I know what a difference it can make to have support in during pregnancy and postpartum.

Parenting Support Groups
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.
