I can do that. Together we will find a way to move you toward the life you want and the person you hope to become.

I have ADHD and am a parent to an autistic teen and an ADHD teen.
You will hear me say progress, not perfection - a lot! This isn't about big, sweeping changes. It takes time, practice, and patience. I know, I know...patience is a tricky one! So we will also talk about self-compassion and ways to remember why you want to make changes.

Do you struggle with anxiety, overwhelm, or feeling stuck in ways that affect your daily life, relationships, or sense of self? Are you exhausted from trying to meet everyone’s expectations or just getting through the day? Many people wonder if life could feel lighter, more balanced, or more meaningful. With so much uncertainty and unprocessed stress or past trauma, it’s easy to feel lost. Left unaddressed, emotional strain can lead to long-term stress and burnout. We believe it shouldn’t be this hard to live a better, more balanced life.

Parenting Counsellors

What does therapy for parenting look like?

Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.

When should a parent seek therapy?

When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.

How long does therapy take for parenting problems?

Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?

Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
