Children and adolescents are woven together in complex ways. Sometimes, life comes unraveled for them by stress, by depression, by anxiety, by learning and behavior challenges - by many concerns. As a parent, you love your child - you have given your all - but you are GIVING UP.

This damage can be brought on by a parent, child, spouse, boss, pastor, etc.
Are you exhausted emotionally, physically, spiritually, and/or financially? Do you feel hopeless in your current relationship/marriage and deep down you know you are worthy of more? Have you been googling phrases such as, "married to a narcissist", "cycle of abuse", "gaslighting", "working with a difficult person", "my daughter is dating a psychopath", etc.? I work with women, men, and teenagers who are in need of validation, want psychoeducation and support in making decisions for the next step in their lives, whatever that might be.

Whether you are a new mom, thinking about becoming pregnant, or a seasoned parent, you deserve support.
Parenting can be so challenging, to say the least. The life transition of welcoming a baby can come with many ups, downs, and feelings of isolation or defeat. You are physically tired, and often feel like you are running in an uphill race. You feel overwhelmed, with so many decisions to make for your family. You have a lot on your mind and often feel the weight of those thoughts physically, mentally, and emotionally. Maybe you’ve seen a mental health professional before, or considered it, but once again feel that lingering anxiety/depression creeping up again now that you have a little one(s).

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.
