If you’re in the thick of a new phase of parenthood where none of your previous coping skills seem to be working, therapy can help. The ways in which children hold a mirror up to ourselves can be an emotional experience. You also may be processing your own childhood and shifting intergenerational patterns, both of which can feel intensely isolating. Together, let's process your experiences, develop new tools and skills to meet your current parenting phase, and integrate it all into your parenting narrative.

Emily Echeverria
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, MS
I know you love your child more than anything, and I also know that in addition to being infinitely rewarding, being a parent can also be pretty dang hard. Balancing your own needs with the needs of everyone else who relies on you is not an easy task. I help parents with parenting techniques and improving the parent-child relationship, but my main focus is emotional support. I firmly believe that in order to take care of others, we must take care of ourselves. The kinder and more patient you are with yourself, the more kind and patient you can be with your child - and the more you can model for your child how they can be good to themselves. You are already doing an amazing job, let's work together to decrease conflict in the home and increase the well-being of you, your child, and your family.

Marriage and Family Therapist, Psy.D., LMFT
The Key to successful parenting is based on your deepest feeling of love and affection for your child, and it is demontrated simply through empathy and understanding. Good parenting begins in your heart, and continues in the way you engage your child when feelings run high, when they are sad, angry or scared. The heart of parenting is being there in a particular way when it really counts.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, I CADC II
While the often used "it takes a village" might seem like a cliché, it is a truism that warrants respect. The lifespan of parenting is best shared with others, to be able to help nurture the love and attachment, guidance and protection are goals worth pursing in the therapeutic alliance.
