Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT, CHt
Parents with challenging kids generally have no need of conventional therapy. Instead, they need only to better understand that kids think, feel, and behave very differently from adults. In a very short time, parents who learn how best to encourage good behavior and discourage bad behavior see remarkable and lasting changes in their kids' behavior. One simple lesson is among the most powerful: Praise, gratitude and reward for good behavior work wonders, but punishment is neither needed nor helpful. Kids learn just two lessons from punishment. First, they learn to be angry and resentful of whomever punished them. Second, they learn to be more and more clever and sneaky, so that they can continue misbehaving without getting caught. Parents who learn these simple effects of reward and punishment see almost immediate positive changes in their kids' behavior. These changes make kids happier, and dramatically lower the risks of drug use, teen pregnancy, poor grades, and early-morning calls from kids in jail.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, EMDR
You do not have to be a "perfect" parent; what about a "perfect enough" parent? Generally you do the best you can with what you know AND you also know you can learn more to be even better at parenting. You worry they will be "messed up" but there is one major thing research shows that can help us to raise emotionally healthy children: repair. Parents have said what I teach them is a game changer and has given them hope and focus so they don't feel overwhelmed with all the advice out there. I also help parents save money and time by teaching them to do therapeutic play interventions with their children. The relationship with you is lifelong and worth the investment. Generally, I work with parents of kids under 8 yo.

Parenting has become a very complex skill in today's postmodern culture. I utilize a combination of psychoeducational therapy and parental coaching in my therapeutic approach. At the core, parental skill development is a highly contextual experience that incorporates thorough family systems assessment. I also take into account a plethora of multicultural variables before embarking on a treatment plan.
