If you would like to develop evidence based parenting practices and skills to address your children's emotional difficulties or promote behavior change and skill development, or if you would like to learn emotionally informed parenting practices, I may be a good fit for you. Please feel free to reach out for a free consult.
Tacit provides support to parents who have younger children who are struggling with a wide variety of issues - we do not work directly with the children themselves. But rather, we help educate the parents about the child's issues, and help the parents learn effective coping strategies that can then be implemented with the child in the moment/as needed.
Most of my 30 year career has involved working with parents on parenting and discipline strategies. Now I incorporate more spiritual concepts in my work with parents. I'm also the parent of two grown children.
Parenting is one of life's greatest challenges. There are thousands of books on it because there are so many opinions on how to do it well. I help clients think out loud, explore challenges they may have in their relationships with their kids and find out what their goals are so I can help them achieve them. Some psycho education around child development can be extremely helpful for parents to build effective boundaries with their kids which ultimately leads to stronger and deeper connections with them.
Parenting involves a lot of work and can bring up a variety of frustrations. Whether you are struggling with your own thoughts and feelings towards parenting, or struggling with the behaviours of your child(ren), I will work with you on strategies for coping as well as looking at the larger family dynamics to ensure the best support for you during these difficult times. I will help support you as we work through the thoughts and feelings you are having. Focusing on therapeutic relationship and building trust allows me to help support you while using a solution-focused lens.
