At a fundamental level, everyone wants to feel fulfilled in life; to know that they matter, to be loved, and to feel safe. Unfortunately, many people move through life believing that they are powerless, cycling through toxic yet familiar relationships. As a Clinician, my goal is to help you to better understand yourself, so that you can make choices and move through life in a way that facilitates growth, rather than keeps you stuck.

You don’t have to leave yourself and your goals behind when you become a parent.
You might be struggling with your decision to get help and wonder if you should just continue doing life the way you have been. As moms it is easier to get our kids the help they need from tutors to coaches to therapists and put ourselves last. Maybe you are realizing that it's not working anymore and you are at your wits end. You might be fighting more with your partner, sabotaging your own goals or yelling at your kids. You know life is meant to be enjoyed and that it is not about suffering but you are stuck and need help finding yourself again.

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.
