Parent Counseling & Coaching Services

Being a parent is one of the most challenging jobs anyone can have.

So much is at stake, especially with so much deprivation, isolation, and loss. We have to make many tough decisions as parents to keep our children healthy, secure, well-adjusted, thriving, and on track. Sometimes, we get conflicting information from friends, family, and the internet, and it’s unclear which way to proceed. As parents, our clinicians empathize with the struggles of raising children, and we know that there is no one-size-fits-all approach. 

At Kentlands Psychotherapy, we offer various services for parents and their children. Our therapists are here to support you on your parenting journey and help you navigate your family’s unique challenges. Our clinicians specialize in parent counseling and coaching. They can address your parenting challenges and concerns by helping you build your parenting skills and confidence and develop routines and strategies that work for your family. Our child, adolescent, and young adult therapists specialize in working with our littlest, preschool-aged clients (2+ years) through high school and college-aged family members. We offer many approaches to helping children and parents, including play therapy, parent-child interaction therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and executive functioning and skills coaching.

In addition, we offer psychological and psychoeducational assessments for children and adolescents. These assessments can help provide additional information about current functioning, strengths, and needs, diagnosing or ruling out suspected disabilities and making recommendations for the family. We also offer co-parenting counseling, post-divorce coaching, and support for separated or unmarried parents. Successful co-parenting helps ensure children receive the support they need to thrive.
