I believe that people are intrinsically good and that their unfavorable actions are a result of something that happened to them in the past or is currently happening in their lives. My counseling approach aligns with person-centered therapy. I firmly believe that the empathic relationship between counselor and client is crucial for the success of the therapeutic process. I value the method, based on a collaborative effort, in which the client controls the process. In my work with couples, adolescents and adults, I draw techniques from many different theories and approaches.

It doesn’t have to be like this forever! Invest in a Custom Trauma Therapy Intensive to get a head start while saving time and money in the long run. Have you ever wished therapy was longer than a single session because you’re just scratching the surface? You don’t have the time, money, or energy to “test drive” therapists. Therapy is for you, the client, so I like to learn the preferences you want for how your sessions will go. This helps you feel at ease, heard, and understood from the start. (We start with Intensives at a higher rate then move to individual sessions but less frequently than if you were just starting.)

Parenting Therapists
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.
