Life is full of transitions. Some are exciting. Some are scary. Some are both and more all rolled into one. It's important to have the best support you can for each set of transitions. I am here to support you while contemplating growing your family, during your pregnancy and the years to follow as you embark on your parenting journey. We all come to the table with our own history of experiences and being parented. This is the time many of us reflect on what we have experienced and the type of parent we want to be.

The primary factor that determines if therapy is helpful is the "fit" between therapist and patient, i.e., degree of comfort, ease of communication, agreement on what problems are to be addressed and sense of safety. My approach to treatment is guided by my initial assessment of individuals or couples, wherein I learn why help is being sought and way the specific problems are experienced. This helps me form a picture of what has lead to the problems that bring people to seek help. We then determine together if how I'm thinking is helpful.

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.
