Liz Witzke
Registered Psychotherapist, RPQ, BA, LLB, CSAT, CPTT
The process of raising children can be fraught with questions, uncertainty and it can bring up parts of ourselves that we didn't know were there or that we had promised ourselves we would never let come out with our own children. We try to balance protection, care and responsiveness and sometimes we lack support, knowledge or positive examples of how to have the kind of parent-child relationship we desire. I have four children of my own and can relate. I am here to help you connect the dots, weigh the issues, process your past and family or origin traits to come into the role of parent in a way that feels grounded, positive and authentically you.

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.

Lorna Barnes, Oak Tree Counselling
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CT, CPC
I love to work with parents who are struggling to parent their children. We'll look for patterns that come from root issues that may be impeding clients' ability to parent. Psychoeducation is important in this area so new skills can be developed. I supply parenting resources and believe the connection and attachment we develop with our children early in their lives creates a calm well adjusted child.

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.

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.

Parenting can be deeply meaningful and deeply overwhelming. You may be navigating stress, guilt, conflict, co-parenting, teen concerns, postpartum changes, or worries about how to support your child.

Parenting is deeply rewarding, but it can also be one of the hardest roles we take on. From managing daily stress to navigating your child’s emotions and behaviors, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed at times. I provide evidence-based support using approaches such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help parents strengthen coping skills, set healthy boundaries, and parent in ways that align with their values. Together, we’ll work on creating a calmer, more connected family life.

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Parenting can be deeply rewarding, exhausting, confusing, and emotionally intense — especially when you are trying to support a child while also navigating your own stress, trauma, neurodivergence, or uncertainty.
While I am not a parent myself, my background includes extensive experience working with children, families, education, behavioral support, and foster parent training. This gives me a unique perspective that blends practical child development knowledge, trauma awareness, neurodivergent understanding, and real-world strategies without the pressure of “perfect parenting.”
My approach is compassionate, practical, and focused on helping you better understand your child’s needs, behavior, emotional world, and nervous system — while also supporting your own. Together, we work on communication, regulation, boundaries, and realistic tools that help create more connection, clarity, and confidence in how you parent.
