Why People Consider Parent Coaching and Counseling

Seperation AnxietyParents have the hardest job out there, yet there’s little (if any) training before we’re thrown into the thick of it! As your child grows and develops, the job constantly changes, which means the demands on you as a parent are ever-changing as well. Even if you are a reader, the book you read last year may not apply this year! Parents often lack the support they need and deserve, leaving them feeling depleted, ineffective, and sometimes guilty. There are many pressures put on parents and children, tough decisions to be made, and challenging situations to navigate. 

Whether you are looking to grow your parenting skills, have a specific parenting concern, or need a safe space to grapple with difficult phases of parenthood, we are here to help! We begin by talking about what brings you in for support, specific challenges that you’re facing, and your goals for our work together. From there, your clinician will tailor personalized services to meet your needs and focus on strategies that feel like the right fit for you and your family.
