Parenting & Co-Parenting

“If only my child had come with an instruction manual!” That’s a thought that most parents have had at some point in their lives.

Nothing really prepares you to become a parent. Some of us were lucky enough to have parents that set a good example. But others grew up in homes where the dynamic between child and parent was anything but functional or consistently loving.

But the truth is, even if you did have loving parents that set a great example of parenting, you can never be fully prepared to handle sticky situations with your own children. You never really know what behavioral challenges your child may wind up struggling with, and how those will affect your other children and the family as a whole.

This is where therapy for parents comes in.

Is This For Me?

This service is for any parent that wishes to better understand and resolve behavioral struggles with their children. These struggles can include typical daily struggles such as:

• Morning routines
• Homework struggles
• Sibling bickering

I can also help with more demanding behaviors that push the parent’s skillset. These include:

• Dealing with a strong-willed child
• Getting a picky eater to eat
• Engaging with an angry or defiant teenager
• Connecting with a child who seems distant

What about Co-Parenting?

Parenting is tricky, and co-parenting with someone in another household adds a whole different dimension. Maybe your ex is hard to deal with, refuses to compromise or tries to use your child as a pawn. Maybe they aren't that difficult but you are having trouble getting on the same page. Therapy for a co-parent can provide strategies to support you and help your child have a more predictable, peaceful childhood.
