Orinda, California therapist: John Jakubowski, marriage and family therapist
Parenting

John Jakubowski

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT MACP LPCC
Parenting is every word you can imagine, but clients very rarely want to discuss how well their kids are doing. In working with children and being a parent, I know first hand the stressors and trials of parenting. My special sauce is teaching you how to communicate with your child so they listen, and teach you how to listen so you can communicate. Learn to recognize triggers and move through into the world soothed, secure and safe.

Parenting

Lisa McNelley Therapy

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #156096
Parenting can be incredibly challenging. The job of growing adults can be incredibly rewarding, as well as one of the most thankless and difficult. Often, these challenges emerge as our children reach their teens. What once was easy becomes challenging. Rules and roles begin to get challenged as teens test the limits and begin taking risks. Maybe you have teens who are stressed out with staying on top of school, activities and friendships, while worrying about life after high school. Anxiety and depression are often key indicators that your teens are maxed out, but there's no clear way to help them. If you are at a loss or feeling overwhelmed as a parent, I can provide a safe space to talk about the challenges and offer support in reconnecting with your teens.

San Francisco, California therapist: David Oretsky Psychotherapy, marriage and family therapist
Parenting

David Oretsky Psychotherapy

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
As a therapist specializing in parenting support, I am deeply committed to helping parents navigate the richly complex journey of raising children. My practice is strongly influenced by the principles put forth by Dr. Becky Kennedy in her book "Good Inside," and Shefali Tsabary's enlightening work "The Awakened Family". I strongly believe in fostering emotional intelligence, promoting internal growth, and nurturing healthy communication within families, as underscored in these seminal works. I see my role as not just helping parents manage daily parenting struggles, but more importantly, to guide them in cultivating a deeper understanding of their own emotions and reactions. By doing so, they can model emotional health to their children, foster stronger bonds, and cultivate a more balanced and harmonious family environment. Whether you're dealing with tantrums, power struggles, behavioral issues, or relationship concerns, my approach is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where we can collaboratively address these challenges. Drawing from the wisdom of Dr. Becky's and Dr. Tsabary's principles, we'll work together to explore mindful parenting strategies that focus on connection, empathy, and understanding. Remember, the goal of parenting is not perfection, but growth – both for you as a parent and for your child. With patience, compassion, and understanding, we can navigate this journey together towards a healthier, happier family life.
