Whether you are dealing with anxiety, stress, behavior challenges, or difficult transitions, my passion is helping families and kids learn how to cope with life’s challenges while guiding them to discover their strengths. The last few years following the Pandemic have been extra hard on families and individuals, especially if you are a parent of a child or teen with emotional or behavioral needs. You are hurting because you see your child or teen struggling and are unsure how to help them. If you are experiencing overwhelming stress or anxiety, getting help for you or your child is taking a brave step forward.

The challenges facing children and teens today are exceptional, as well as navigating parenting in a world bound with pressures from every area of life. Families, more than ever, struggle to stay steady, stay grounded, and stay consistent, while raising little humans to succeed in our society. As a child therapist, former teacher and parent of five myself, I realize all too well what the issues are and how children and families can be supported through counseling. Building relationships through play therapy, narrative therapy, as well as with families is the key to success in my practice.

Does anger have a grip on you? Anger is one of the two most powerful human emotions. When it controls you, the costs can be astronomical. The pain, shame, and regrets can be immense. Angry outbursts affect relationships, careers, and parenting. Maybe you think you're in control because you suppress it, but that can lead to depression, anxiety, suicidal and homicidal thoughts, and mood disorders. Consequences of anger can include arrest, divorce, broken relationships, and job loss. Health issues can occur, including high blood pressure, ulcers, and headaches. Loved ones often pay through abuse or destruction of their property.

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.
