Maybe someone you know thinks you should "get help." Maybe there's something you want to talk about but don't know if you can tell your family or friends. Or maybe it's something totally different. My job is to give you the tools you need to make your current situation better by increasing your knowledge, skills, insight, awareness, and most of all, hope.

One of the sweetest things in all the world is the ability to enjoy yourself when you're with others. Imagine your home as a place where family members find it easy to relax and have a good time with each other. Then imagine that nice feeling radiating out to others with whom you come in contact. You find it easy to forget yourself and be comfortable when you talk to other people. These things are possible. I know. It happened to me.

Are you stuck? Have you tried the traditional paths of medication and therapy and been unsatisfied with the outcome? Would you like to address the root cause and directly train your brain to become more efficient and effective? I am a registered nurse who worked in the hospital providing direct patient care for 20 years. I have witnessed the debilitating effect that dysregulated nervous systems have on patient's mental and physical well being. Traditional treatments of medication and therapy alone may not be sufficent for addressing brain dysregulation.

Parenting Therapists

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.
