Parenting Support

Parent Support Therapy

Parenting can be one of the most rewarding jobs in the world, but it can also be incredibly challenging.  

For many challenges that parents and children face, parenting support can be just as effective as therapy with the child. In fact, progress can be quicker working with parents because parents are able to use strategies throughout the week to address the challenges they are facing.

Parent support therapy is usually a great fit if:

  • Bedtime, meal times, and getting out the door feel more stressful than they should

  • Your child is having tantrums or meltdowns a lot, and it's hard to figure out why

  • Your child is having a hard time with separation, or is painfully shy

  • You've read lots of parenting books, but the strategies just don't seem to work

  • You find yourself raising your voice more than you would like, and it's hard to get your children to do the things they need to do

  • Your family is going through a stressful time, and you would like guidance about how to best support your child

Brief Consultations

Consultation appointments are available for families who have specific questions that may not require a full assessment or psychotherapy. Consultations are typically a brief model of intervention. Some families prefer to meet only once, while others might prefer to meet monthly or quarterly for a period of time. Common issues that can be addressed through consultation include:

  • I'm concerned about my child's behavior/emotions, but I don't know if they need an evaluation or therapy.

  • We are struggling in a specific area of parenting (e.g., bedtime, transitioning between parents' homes).

  • My child experienced a stressful or traumatic event, and I want to know how to support them through it. 

  • There is a big change coming up for my child (e.g., starting daycare or preschool, parental separation or divorce, moving, new sibling) and I want to know how to prepare my child for it.

  • I'm concerned that my child's development may not be on-track for their age.

  • My child is in therapy but I'm not seeing progress.
