We will explore your parenting styles, beliefs, and goals in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment. Parents will learn to develop effective communication skills, set appropriate boundaries, and manage conflicts within the family. Additionally, therapy may focus on improving parent-child relationships, enhancing parenting self-efficacy, and addressing any underlying issues such as stress or trauma that may be impacting parenting behaviors.

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
Boy is parenting hard! Tough love is always tougher on the parent than the child. I have been teaching parenting classes and working with parent for over 24 years. I listen to parents describe their children and their unique situation and collect the data to inform the suggestions I give them. Children need boundaries so they can test them and know they are safe and loved. They also need consequences to motivate them to learn and grow. All parents want to launch successful secure independent young adults so I teach parents how to implement early interventions to meet that goal.

Michelle Broweleit
Professional Christian Counselor, MA, LMHC
Are you struggling with parenting your children? I was blessed with four biological children, adopted five, have three step children, and foster parented hundreds. Having been through medical emergencies, custody issues, physical and mental health concerns, educational problems, troubles with the legal system, and even the death of one of my children, there probably aren't too many things left to experience. I have learned that we all make mistakes as parents, there is no perfect parent nor perfect way to parent, each situation and child is unique, children need to know and feel loved, and stability and consistency helps. Please contact me and we can discuss whether individual, couple, or family counseling will be the best choice for you.

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.
