Parenting Therapy

“As children develop, their brains "mirror" their parent's brain. In other words, the parent's own growth and development, or lack of those, impact the child's brain. As parents become more aware and emotionally healthy, their children reap the rewards and move toward health as well.”

― Daniel J. Siegel, The Whole-Brain Child: 12 Revolutionary Strategies to Nurture Your Child's Developing Mind, Survive Everyday Parenting Struggles, and Help Your Family Thrive

Parenting a struggling child who has tantrums, acts out aggressively, is defiant, and is impulsive can be physically and emotionally exhausting. Raising a child who is going through a difficult time and often appears sad, worried, or experiences challenges with peers can be heartbreaking. Figuring out the best ways to reach your child in any of these circumstances can be tricky and finding the right support isn't always easy.

As a child specialist, I provide a safe space for parents to discuss their specific parenting challenges, build parenting skills to manage their child’s challenging behaviors, reflect on how their own childhood impacts the parent-child relationship, and help strengthen the parent-child bond.

Issues that can be addressed in parenting therapy:

• Parent-child relational issues

• Parenting stress

• Lack of confidence in parenting

• A parent’s own childhood wounds

• Difficulties managing a child’s

  • Non-compliance

  • Aggressive behaviors

  • Depression

  • Low self-esteem

  • Sibling rivalry
