Parenting Support

Do you worry you are ruining your child?

Go to bed exhausted and wonder if parenting will ever get easier.

Feel bad when you lose your cool at your kids.

Question if you are doing enough and often feel shame and guilt about your parenting.

Find yourself falling into parenting habits from your childhood that you swore you would never do.

In therapy, you can:

Learn to parent through connection.

Examine your childhood experiences and learned beliefs about parent and child roles.

Learn parenting tools and techniques best for you and your child.

Build confidence in yourself as a parent.

For the first session, you and the therapist will meet by video for 60 minutes. In this session, you will get to know each other and discuss your goals for therapy. You will decide how often and how long to meet for sessions.
You can bring your stuff to talk about, and the therapist can bring some education and skills to help you towards your goals.
There is no set answer; therapy takes as long as it takes. You and the therapist will use the goals set in the first session as measurement for progress. Usually, clients see improvement in 3-6 months, but you can decide with your therapist based on your progress. You can always add new goals as you learn more about yourself.
The therapist’s role is to establish a nonjudgmental, safe space in which you can share your thoughts and feelings. They will bring education and skills to the session to support progress towards your goals. They may ask questions to guide you through exploration of your thoughts and beliefs. They may provide an alternative perspective.
