Karen Skinulis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
I have dedicated my long career to parent education and family therapy. I use an Adlerian approach to help parents understand their child's behaviour better and to gain greater cooperation and harmony in the family. I begin by helping parents understand the goals of their child's behaviour (undue attention-seeking, power, revenge, assumed inadequacy). From there we work on specific effective strategies to become more inclusive and democratic. These approaches are very effective in helping children feel respected, valued and important in the family and will reduce conflict and misbehaviour significantly. I always focus on the tools of encouragement, communication, problem-solving and shared responsibility and will help parents learn how to hold effective family meetings as a way of keeping these goals in sight.

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.

Marlena Damone: Pause Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MC, RP
The full range of emotions we feel as parents is part of what makes this so exhausting and so incredible. I specialize in helping parents understand their own emotional needs. We will also explore how your own early experiences and attachments are influencing how you're showing up as a parent now. Through building awareness and finding ways to step outside of familiar patterns, you can discover ways to feel more balanced, connected, and fulfilled.
Notably, my early experiences working with families in their homes as a Child and Family Outreach Worker has deeply informed my understanding of how to support parents in gaining tools to manage their own difficult emotions, navigating their children’s behavioural and emotional needs, and creating more secure and loving relationships.
