Parenting is hard. Harder than you anticipated, and it’s clear that your child is struggling. Whether it’s at school, home, or in their relationships with others, you’re concerned about their behavior and know something has to change for all of you to enjoy life more. You're frustrated, exhausted, defeated. Frustrated over the lack of harmony, exhausted from their school calling to report behavior concerns, defeated because you feel helpless. Now, imagine your child feels the same way. Despite how they may show it, your child likely also feels frustrated, exhausted, and defeated. Navigating parenthood is hard - but you're not alone.

I work with children and adolescents, as well as adults, who are experiencing an array of mental health and behavioral symptoms.
Do you ever feel stuck, as if there are barriers in life that you just can't seem to overcome? Sometimes it can feel like there are endless roadblocks, whether that be navigating difficulties in our daily routines, moving through big life transitions, or the same overwhelming thoughts and feelings coming up again and again. These feelings can impact our ability to have meaningful relationships, and it can be difficult to identify the source of the struggle or understand why it feels this way, especially when we are feeling overwhelmed and are trying to work through it alone.

Behavioral Issues Therapists
What happens in therapy for behavioral issues?
No matter the type of therapy, individuals form an alliance with the therapist; that connection is often therapeutic in itself, plus it becomes an instrument of change. Individuals learn to identify situations that are especially troublesome for them and acquire new patterns of thinking and behaving. In therapy for ADHD, one of the most common behavior issues for children, individuals learn how to improve frustration tolerance, control impulsivity, manage attentional focus, and gain skills of self-organisation.
What therapy types help with behavioral issues?
Many types of therapy have been found effective, each targeting one or more areas of dysfunction. Perhaps best-known and most widely tested is cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT), in which individuals learn new behavioral strategies and curb reactivity to frustrating or distressing situations that trigger disruptive behaviour. Anger, anxiety, mood disorders, impulse control problems are commonly addressed in CBT. Family therapy or parent management training is often helpful to reduce parent-child conflict and behavioral difficulties at home.
How long does therapy last for behavioral issues?
Among popular approaches to treating behavioral concerns, CBT is considered a short-term therapy intended to be administered in 15 to 20 weekly sessions. Parent training in behavior management, often used when the underlying cause of behavior issues is ADHD in children under 12, usually occurs in weekly sessions for 8 to 16 weeks. When behavioral issues stem from persistent aggression or defiance, therapy may last for months, and usually targets both children and their parents.
How effective is therapy for behavior issues?
Studies show that therapy for behavior issues in children is highly effective and may prevent the development of antisocial behavior later in life. Family intervention—parent management training or family therapy, both of which involve parents and children together—is considered most effective, notably for children under age 12 who persistently engage in aggressive, defiant, rule-breaking or other disruptive behavior. Whether provided alone or in combination with medication, CBT is highly effective in helping people regulate their emotions, and for people with ADHD, it addresses impulsiveness, hyperactivity and attentional focus.
