Parenting therapists in Burlington, Ontario ON, Canada CA

Many of our registered psychologists and licensed therapists have extensive training and experience providing parent consultation to parents about children's mental health needs, behavioural challenges and relationship issues.  

Parenting therapy can provide a supportive space to develop approaches that work for your child(ren) and family. It can be a space for parents and caregivers to explore the expectations they hold for themselves and their children, and to further question whether these ideals limit or serve them. By developing insight into your child’s needs and your own capacities, you can learn to respond to challenges with parenting approaches grounded in authenticity and connection.  

Parenting is one of the hardest jobs in life. There is no manual for how to raise children/teens and we are bound to make mistakes. However, you can learn skills to help you attune to your child's feelings to help them feel safe. Children/teenagers can often feel confused about their emotions, which can lead to unhealthy thoughts and behaviours. Let us work together through play or expressive arts in understanding your child's/teen's needs for love and security.  

At times parenting get difficult, parents struggle developing their child’s skills or experience a hard time maintaining positive communication with their child. Counselling / psychotherapy can help parents to develop skills to resolve conflicts and create a positive relationship with their child.
