Therapy for Parents

If your child is struggling, the likelihood is that you are hurting, too. It is important for you to have support. Parents who seek their own therapy often report that it is immensely helpful, not only for themselves, but also in learning ways to better support their child. Parents often bear the brunt of difficult behaviors, emotions and attitudes of their kids. If you have been on this receiving end, you know full well that strong emotions and reactions are likely to be triggered in yourself. Therapy provides you the space to process your triggers, associations to your own childhood, and problem solve challenges that inevitably arise with raising kids. We will work to help you feel more confident in your parenting, connected to your child, better able to tolerate and navigate the important process of your child's individuation, and empower you to parent from a less reactive, more centered state of mind.
