I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors experiencing depression, anxiety, and issues related to parenting, trauma, technology/social media use, peer conflict, intimate partner violence/conflict, and major life transitions (eg. first-time parenting, leaving for college, returning to work, divorce, empty nest). I created and taught a graduate-level course at Johns Hopkins on social media's effect on mental health. My clinical training focused on survivors and offenders of sexual and domestic violence. I was awarded a fellowship for my work with teen moms on parenting, life skills, and college readiness.

Would you like to feel less reactive when it comes to your teen’s behaviors? To have more authentic and meaningful conversations with your teen? To experience more connection and fewer arguments? To stop feeling like you’re winging it when it comes to your parenting choices? To make sure your teen is prepared for their own future? Book a call with me.
I'm parent coach, Samantha Straub, owner of Teen Savvy Coaching (www.teensavvycoaching.com), where I help parents of teens and tweens step into your parenting role with calm and confidence. Adolescence is a time of significant transition–for kids and for parents. And kids don’t come with a manual. When kids hit their teen years, it’s not uncommon for families to experience increased chaos, conflict, and confusion. But it doesn’t have to be that way. I equip parents with the tools and knowledge they need to parent from their highest values, keep the parent-child relationship strong, AND raise thriving, independent young people.

Often clients begin their therapy journey reporting feeling stuck in patterns that cause them distress (ie romantic relationships, job stagnation, family dynamics, parent/child interactions, mood instability, etc). Whether these patterns are a result of known trauma(s), relational wounds, or something else, we can gain clarity about these patterns. We will get to know the parts of you that are seeking change while also getting to know the parts of you who have been working in the same way, often for many years. While I have extensive training in CBT, DBT and other therapy modalities, I solidly use IFS (internal family systems).

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.
