Strides in Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PSY.D.
here are many different ways to be an effective and nurturing parent. People’s parenting styles may vary based on culture, race, religion, socioeconomic status, geographic location as well as due to both the parents’ and the children’s personalities. Some people tend to be more authoritarian, setting rules and expecting them to be followed because you are the parent. Other parents are more permissive, wanting their children to have their needs met and to feel heard and understood. Still others try to find some middle ground. They may switch positions depending on the specifics of the situation or they may negotiate a compromise. Sometimes one parenting style works really effectively with one child but not at all with another. Other times, a way of handling a situation may work fine for your child at one age but not at all once they get a bit older, so a shift in approach is needed. We all tend to use our own upbringing as a model for how we parent, or in some cases, for what we most want to avoid in raising our children. Often, this strategy works fine. When it does not, therapy can be a useful tool in offering you alternative strategies and techniques that might help.

If it’s therapy between multiple family members that you need, we have therapists with experience.
Family therapy can be a great place to start or the perfect place to “end up.” When one member of the family is having issues, it affects EVERY member. How each person copes with problems is unique. If there is one thing a family therapist might share it would be this: When each person works to “own their part,” change is more likely to occur. Sometimes, it works best if individual therapy comes first—there may be a history of misunderstandings that need to be worked through before you all get together in the same room. Family therapy is even possible online. Each member can join from separate rooms, or they can sit together—just like in person. Learning the basics of healthy communication, identifying hidden resentments, and exploring unspoken family “rules” can be tough, but absolutely worth it. Let our therapists help to bring your family closer.

I have collaborated closely with parents while working with children and teens, ensuring a holistic approach to treatment. Together, we discuss treatment outcomes and goals, fostering a supportive environment that nurtures the well-being of the young individuals in my care. This collaborative effort between therapist and parents strengthens the effectiveness of therapy, ultimately promoting the positive growth and development of the children and teens I work with.
