Parenting even the most well adjusted children is an ongoing challenge. We will discuss basic ideas such as positive reinforcement, withdrawal of attention and enjoyable activities, discourage punishment and provide methods to direct children in an ongoing way.
Parenting is one of the most rewarding yet challenging roles we undertake in life, and it's okay to seek support and guidance along the way. Together, we will work collaboratively to identify your strengths as a parent, as well as areas where you may want to grow and develop. Whether you're struggling with discipline, communication, or finding balance in your role as a parent, therapy offers practical tools, strategies, and insights to help you navigate these challenges with confidence and resilience.
We have many therapists who are experienced in working with adults who need help with parenting their children. Please take a look at our general statement here and our website: https://talkingworkscounseling.com/

Parenting presents many unexpected stresses and challenges, and struggles with parenting can impact your relationship, life, and even your sense of identity. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can learn how to cope with emotions and conflicts that arise as a part of parenting, and learn how you can make choices that are best for you and your children. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, you can understand yourself and your children better.
After becoming a parent myself, I was gifted with a much deeper perspective on the challenges of parenting today; I'm also deeply aware of the differences in experiences with parenting that people can face, and that there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach here. Many concurrent issues such as finances, race, and family support often contribute here (as they do with any other life challenge), and I take the whole person into consideration when discerning the best approach to treatment.

Parenting is hard, so much changes when you become a parent. It can bring up so many different emotions, fear, guilt, anxiety, anger, resentment, isolation, joy, and a sense of being overwhelmed. I’m here to work with you through all of these feelings in hopes of finding a sense of a balance.
Nearly all families deal with some sort of stress or conflict at one point or another. In the middle of what can seem like the most difficult time for your family, actually lies opportunity. I can help family members begin to understand one another better, improve their communication, and resolve conflicts, leading to healthier and more secure relationships. Through parenting sessions, I will work with you to learn more about your parenting style, and develop new understanding and skills to work with your child so the decisions you make are right for your family. Your family is the most powerful resource. Let’s strengthen it together.
