Your relationship is no longer the safe and loving experience you signed up for. What was once a sacred space, a peaceful home, has now turned into a battleground over the smallest things, like a lost remote control. Communication has all but broken down. You and your partner used to be each other's biggest fans, but it’s more like you are roommates now, going along with the motions. Your emotional connection has dwindled, along with a fulfilling sex life. You long to go back to when you found comfort in this person, but you don’t know how. You’re still in love and determined to make things work.

Life is both amazing and testing. During those testing times it can be immensely beneficial to have the guidance of a skilled therapist. I work with teens and adults who are struggling with a variety of mental health issues, but most often those issues are centered around trauma, stress, anxiety, and depression. By engaging in therapy with me clients can expect to gain an understanding of themselves, what they’ve been through in life, and how to better cope with their struggles.

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.
