“Family pathology rolls from generation to generation like a fire in the woods taking down everything in its path until one person, in one generation, has the courage to turn and face the flames. That person brings peace to his ancestors and spares the children that follow.” — Terry Real

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. while Parenting is one of life’s most rewarding yet challenging journeys, it can also come with a lot of stress. 

As your child grows, new stages and obstacles continually arise that can leave you feeling overwhelmed or unsure how to respond effectively. Parenting coaching provides the opportunity to work one-on-one with an experienced therapist, gaining invaluable insights and tools to build your skills and thrive as a parent.

Parenting coaching is offered simultaneously with child and teen therapy. It is important to have monthly or bi-monthly sessions with parents to make sure therapy is moving in the right direction. 

Parenting coaching helps with: 

• Open communication skills and conflict resolution practices
• Tips for balancing parent-child dynamics in different family situations
• Ways to manage stress, avoid burnout and practice self-care
• Support in strengthening your parent-child bond and establishing family values
• Actionable steps to reach your unique parenting objectives
