Parenting Therapists in Miami, FL
If you're a parent of a teenager that feels worried, confused, and increasingly distant from their teenager I want you to know that it's almost never as bad as you might think and that there's almost always a way through to something better.
I specialize in helping teenagers develop useful self-knowledge that helps them heal, mature, and come into their own wisdom and strength. Self-knowledge helps teenagers live in accord with their true selves and align their emotional and intellectual faculties. Parents are an essential part of this process and we always work together closely.

Parents sometimes find themselves lost, not knowing how to help their children with their struggles.
I specialize in children and adolescents with diverse issues. I use play as a medium to communicate and help children find their voice and inner wisdom. Children and adolescents sometimes don't have the words to communicate their feelings. Play assists the child by allowing them to play out their feelings and struggles.

Motherhood is hard. You do it all with love and selflessness, but it's too much to handle on your own at this point. You need to slow down but motherhood never stops-always something to be done. You are ready to delegate some tasks but don’t know how to ask for help. Oh and the mental load! You are ready to take a break but don’t have the support you need. Others expect you to take care of it all and your inner voice expects nothing less than perfect– leaving you depleted and anxious, feeling isolated. And then there is the pain of motherhood not being what you envisioned. and it’s bringing all these feelings to the surface!

However, one of my specialties is working with women and moms undergoing the daily pressures of motherhood, parenting and work.
Life is filled with challenges and sometimes we need support to get through them. Each of us have unique perspectives that can cloud our perception and how we cope with the simplest of problems to the most difficult ones. When working with me I will offer a safe, nonjudgmental and understanding environment. This will provide us with the opportunity to help you grow, face the unknown and build resiliency. With that being said, therapy is a very big step and I will try my best to meet you where you are at.

I believe that the family is the primary context, the "matrix of identity" where we develop ourselves as we interact with spouses, parents, children, and other family members who are in constant transformation, adapting to an ever-changing social environment.
My approach to therapy is based on the belief that behaviors are a function of our relations with others. Thus, a person's environment and history influences one's sense of self and the way we express ourselves as part of a group and as individuals. I try to learn from my client's experiences to develop a better understanding of who they are, how they developed their sense of self, their worldview, and behavior.

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.
