Maria Christopoulos
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., M.Sc., RP
Parenting comes in many different forms. Families can be made through adoption, blended, legal arrangements or through traditional means. Parenting will often require communication and assertiveness skills. Building these skills can help improve the relationship between family members and decrease tensions.

Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW
Parenting Support is support where and when you need it. Change with our children begins with us as parents. A big part of parenting is tolerating and sitting with a child when they are having big, overwhelming feelings. If you didn't get this when you were young, a big part of Re-parenting yourself is tolerating and staying with yourself while you are having big, overwhelming feelings. Support is based on positive, respectful, compassionate, gentle and connection based parenting techniques that are effective and meaningful. It begins with building a relationship to get to know your families history, strengths, and challenges to bring about change through empowerment and self awareness. Practical, attainable strategies will start to be discussed from your first session.

Transforming Emotions
Psychologist
Do you worry about your child's emotional well-being or behaviour patterns? Are you struggling to figure out how to be a parent to a Gen Z or Gen Alpha kid? Being responsible for another human being and their well-being can evoke powerful feelings in parents, some of which stem from the present moment, and some of which are triggers from our own past hurts. At Transforming Emotions, our therapists are grounded in both emotion focused therapy and CBT allowing our team members to help you better manage your own thoughts, feelings, and behaviours as you help support your little one in doing the same. We know that parents are the most important resource in a child's life. Call to book a free consultation today to help us match you to the therapist who can best support you in your parenting journey.

MindfulWe Holistic Psychotherapy & Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, IMD (candidate)
Parenting is life-changing, wonderful, and challenging. As a mother of two beautiful humans myself, I know how parenting transcends time. What I mean by this is that parents have to deal with present day tantrums of their children while reenacting their own parents, or seeing themselves in their children, or any combination of these which changes and switches based on how you feel, where you are, and who your with. Let’s not forget how becoming parents greatly impacts your relationship with your spouse. It’s a lot, because it’s alot of change and adjustment all at once.
One on one therapy for parents can be especially wonderful. Finally, a space just for them. Free to feel and say out loud all that you need/want too but don’t because of pressure.

Kennedy McLean Counselling & Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist
So many parents struggle with the choices they should make or have made. Sometimes therapy can be the best place if there is conflict, you are having problems with discipline, if you and your spouse aren’t on the same page about, or if you feel so overwhelmed you don’t even know where to start.

Magdalena Karakehayova
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
I believe that effective parenting can take many forms, however, oftentimes effective parents are able to validate their children’s emotions, have consistent messaging, and model love and kindness for their children. I find that if a child is acting out, it is not necessarily a flaw in the child, but rather a larger familial issue that needs to be discussed in order to figure out the type of support each member needs and how they can effectively communicate this outside of therapy. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ensure we are a good fit.
