Concerned about your son with ADHD or Autism falling behind? Maybe your daughter's anxiety or depressive symptoms have you worried and what you've tried hasn't helped. Perhaps you ARE the child and you're seeking help, or maybe you're a parent with more questions than answers and desperately need some support. There are so many assaults on our mental health day to day that life can sometimes get the best of us and leave us feeling a bit hopeless or lost...especially now with the added strain of COVID-19 and social distancing.

I can’t promise magic, but I can support both you and your child as you develop a toolbox of practical skills to address challenging behaviors, improve emotional regulation, cope with anxiety, navigate identity development, and manage other life stressors. So how can we accomplish this? Well, when we rely solely on “talk therapy” with young people, it can be challenging to find success.

While discussing mental health has become somewhat more common, it might not be a topic that you feel comfortable bringing up with close friends or family. If you have felt that you were alone as you experience symptoms like a lack of concentration, uncontrollable negative thoughts, or feeling like you are in 'autopilot' I would be honored to guide your recovery process. I believe that anxiety and depression are shared experiences that we all encounter during periods of heightened stressors in our lives, and that the goal of therapy is to help us identify what our thoughts and choices that do not align with our goals.

I believe in the importance of a person’s story and meeting each person where they are in the present moment, while honoring experiences from the past. There are often events or themes within a person’s childhood that can lead them to experience difficulties later in their lives if left unresolved. These difficulties often appear in the form of unhealthy traits or toxic cycles within romantic relationships or friendships. Other times, there are negative thoughts such as “I should have known better” or “I always do something wrong” that constantly circle in a person’s mind.

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.
