Barbara Freedman
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor
As the owner, and director of The Growing Tree Preschool for seven years, I enjoyed being a mentor to parents, who would often seek me out to discuss challenges, pertaining to their children. I have worked together with them to modify their children’s behavior and help their youngsters develop many new values and skills. As part of my work as a counsellor for those who qualified for Victim Services I worked with many children employing such tools as art and play therapy to impart healthy expression as well as emotional intelligence skills. My experience in this area includes delivering workshops for Parents, Educators & Childcare Professionals at the YMYWCA in the Ottawa Region, in addition to the Childcare Information Speakers’ Bureau at Ontario Early Years Centers. My responsibilities as a counsellor for Life Span Services of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania USA, Adoption and Foster Care included delivering my skills to foster parents. Through teaching for the Ottawa Board of Education, in addition to tutoring, I instructed a variety of children with special needs. This includes those with social, behavioral , as well as a variety of learning challenges. I would be pleased to consult with parents on any topic which interests them from separation anxiety to issues involving ADHD.

Namrta Mohan
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc Psychology, RP, Clinical Traumatologist
It is said that, 'becoming a parent is both, a privilege and responsibility'. 'Parent', is the most challenging role one ever plays in their lifetime. You are responsible for ensuring the best for this soul you have brought to this world, while you have to work with their sense of identity and need of freedom. It can be an exhausting process, to balance it all. Trust me, you are not alone. You definitely are not a BAD parent. No matter what issues you are struggling with in context of your children, I am here to support, to figure it all out.

Sierra Goldfinger
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Parenting can be one of the toughest and most rewarding experiences. There is so much that can get in the way of parenting in the ways that we hoped for. A busy schedule, finances, burn-out, and so many other factors are just a few obstacles that may get in the way. As a therapist, I am here to work with you to understand and develop the ways in which you wish to parent. I do not impose my own parenting ideas on you, but rather I seek to support you in figuring out who your most authentic and meaningful parent self is. This will allow us to support you in developing your own unique parenting tools and styles best suited for you and your family. Connect with me today for a free consult to see if we are a good fit.

It takes a Village to Raise a Child: Parent Coaching at MindFit
“The thing about parenting rules is there aren’t any.” That’s what makes it so difficult.” – Ewan McGregor
From emotion regulation challenges to ADHD to social media use, there are no shortage of parenting challenges. MindFit Parent Coaching aims to help make your job a little easier.
Workouts (sessions) are designed to improve children’s emotional, cognitive, behavioural and health-related outcomes by fostering parenting skills and improving the quality of parent-child relationships.
Techniques:
Collaborative Problem Solving
• Developed by Dr. Ross Greene at Harvard Medical School, CPS is an extremely effective technique for helping youth learn lagging skills in the areas of flexibility, frustration tolerance, and adaptability.
• CPS is based on the premise that children do well if they can (not if they want to) and your explanation of why a child is behaving poorly guides the intervention. More specifically, CPS sees challenging behaviours as resulting from skill deficits and not motivation deficits.
• Consequently, the goal is to help parents learn to solve common problems/challenges (e.g., screen time, homework, routine difficulties) with their youth collaboratively and proactive, while teaching youth new skills along the way.
Emotion Coaching/Emotion-Focused Parenting
• Parents and caregivers learn to recognize and attend to their and their child’s emotions and use emotions as moments for teaching. Parents are also taught to listen with empathy, validate their child’s feelings, and meet their child’s needs (e.g., offering a hug if a child is sad).. When a child calms down, parents learn to help their child label their feelings with words and then discuss practical coping strategies to deal with triggers and improve self-regulation skills
Positive Parenting Interventions/Strength-Based Parenting
• Strength-based parenting helps parents to acknowledge and encourage a child’s unique abilities, talents, and skills (i.e., strengths).
• Practical advice and interventions (e.g., ways to identify parent strengths and children’s strengths, how to have conversations for connection) is provided to help set children up for success, maximize potential, and nurture and foster children’s talents and strengths.
At MindFit, we only provide programs and workouts that are backed by science and based on real data. You can expect to work with skilled clinicians who aim to create a safe, non-judgemental, de-stigmatizing, compassionate and welcoming environment. Sessions are aimed to at being short term and time limited, handouts and resources are provided to help you implement your new toolbox of strategies and skills, and questionnaires/check-ins are used to measure/track change.

Michelle Directo
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP, ExA
Parenting is one of the hardest jobs in life. There is no manual for how to raise children/teens and we are bound to make mistakes. However, you can learn skills to help you attune to your child's feelings to help them feel safe. Children/teenagers can often feel confused about their emotions, which can lead to unhealthy thoughts and behaviours. Let us work together through play or expressive arts in understanding your child's/teen's needs for love and security.

Ahmadreza Zamani
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Parenting is one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences a person can have. It involves raising and caring for children, guiding their development, and helping them grow into responsible, productive adults. However, parenting can also be stressful and overwhelming, particularly for new parents or those facing unique challenges such as behavioral issues or special needs.
Parenting support and guidance can be beneficial for improving parenting skills, reducing stress, and promoting a positive and healthy family environment. Psychotherapy, specifically parenting support and education, can provide guidance and support for parents, helping them navigate the challenges of parenting and develop effective strategies for managing common difficulties. Whether you're a new parent or an experienced one facing new challenges, a licensed mental health professional can provide support and guidance towards a more positive and fulfilling parenting experience.

Parenting can be deeply rewarding and equally overwhelming, especially for those who hold high standards for themselves. I work with parents who feel stretched, reactive, or unsure how to balance their own needs with those of their children.
