Therapist for women, parents, and millennials. You feel the weight of the world on your shoulders, whether this be from the mental load of motherhood, striving to create a life that feels authentic to you, or unsuccessfully healing from past traumas. You see how these struggles impact your current relationships and own wellbeing, but you don’t know how to implement change that will actually stick. Or maybe you struggle with your relationships in general - feeling as though you’re either “too much” or “not enough” all at the same time. Friendships come and go, and it feels like you are not seen or cared for. I get it and I can help.

Sometimes we have lived in pain for many years. As indecision, fear and dissatisfaction become part of our regular experience, we start to believe that this may be as good as it gets. Other times, life events may cause very sudden feelings of loss, sadness, anger or anxiety that can be profound. It can be disorienting, frightening and immobilizing when faced with the intensity of these emotions. Whether your pain has been lifelong or sudden, you do not have to continue to feel overwhelmed, unfulfilled or at a loss for how to move forward. One of the most important investments you can make is an individualized psychotherapy.

The majority of my referrals come from attorneys with clients who have engaged in illegal sexual behavior, requesting a 'risk assessment' to estimate future risk which could inform sentencing. Clients also self refer, finding that they have had little success in managing their thoughts and behaviors and have had to live with the anxiety and shame of ultimate discovery. Legal consequences of problematic sexual behavior are not the only negative consequences. Intimate and family relationship dysfunction, as well as mood, work performance issues, and self worth are often negatively impacted.

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.
