Jenny Kapichen
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
As a parent myself, I understand how complex and challenging this role and life transition can be. When working with clients facing parenting struggles, exploring your own early childhood experiences and attachment patterns can open up self-understanding and build new awareness of your approach to parenting. This process creates space for growth and flexibility, helping you become the parent you envision to be.

At Bright Start Bright Future Counselling Centre, I specialize in providing comprehensive Parenting Counselling to empower parents in nurturing their children's socio-emotional development. Through personalized sessions, I equip parents with valuable skills and knowledge to foster a warm, accepting, and loving family environment.
My Parenting Counselling covers a wide range of topics, including facilitating language development, promoting age-appropriate play, and enhancing social-emotional skills. I focus on building strong parent-child bonds, establishing routines, and effectively managing behavior. Additionally, I address challenges such as sibling rivalry, school transitions, and preparing children for college.
Benefits of Parenting Counselling include understanding your parenting style, improving conflict resolution techniques, and encouraging positive behaviors. My goal is to help parents create stable and peaceful family dynamics while fostering trust and communication with their children.
For new parents, I offer specialized New Parent Counselling to ease the transition into parenthood. This includes recognizing and responding to baby cues, understanding developmental milestones, and enhancing the parent-child bond. I also provide support to prevent postpartum depression and promote holistic family well-being.

It takes a Village to Raise a Child: Parent Coaching at MindFit
“The thing about parenting rules is there aren’t any.” That’s what makes it so difficult.” – Ewan McGregor
From emotion regulation challenges to ADHD to social media use, there are no shortage of parenting challenges. MindFit Parent Coaching aims to help make your job a little easier.
Workouts (sessions) are designed to improve children’s emotional, cognitive, behavioural and health-related outcomes by fostering parenting skills and improving the quality of parent-child relationships.
Techniques:
Collaborative Problem Solving
• Developed by Dr. Ross Greene at Harvard Medical School, CPS is an extremely effective technique for helping youth learn lagging skills in the areas of flexibility, frustration tolerance, and adaptability.
• CPS is based on the premise that children do well if they can (not if they want to) and your explanation of why a child is behaving poorly guides the intervention. More specifically, CPS sees challenging behaviours as resulting from skill deficits and not motivation deficits.
• Consequently, the goal is to help parents learn to solve common problems/challenges (e.g., screen time, homework, routine difficulties) with their youth collaboratively and proactive, while teaching youth new skills along the way.
Emotion Coaching/Emotion-Focused Parenting
• Parents and caregivers learn to recognize and attend to their and their child’s emotions and use emotions as moments for teaching. Parents are also taught to listen with empathy, validate their child’s feelings, and meet their child’s needs (e.g., offering a hug if a child is sad).. When a child calms down, parents learn to help their child label their feelings with words and then discuss practical coping strategies to deal with triggers and improve self-regulation skills
Positive Parenting Interventions/Strength-Based Parenting
• Strength-based parenting helps parents to acknowledge and encourage a child’s unique abilities, talents, and skills (i.e., strengths).
• Practical advice and interventions (e.g., ways to identify parent strengths and children’s strengths, how to have conversations for connection) is provided to help set children up for success, maximize potential, and nurture and foster children’s talents and strengths.
At MindFit, we only provide programs and workouts that are backed by science and based on real data. You can expect to work with skilled clinicians who aim to create a safe, non-judgemental, de-stigmatizing, compassionate and welcoming environment. Sessions are aimed to at being short term and time limited, handouts and resources are provided to help you implement your new toolbox of strategies and skills, and questionnaires/check-ins are used to measure/track change.
