Parenting Therapists in Boise, ID

Thank you for your interest in my counseling page, I'm glad you're looking into it. Whether you've gone before or it's the first time, it can be intimidating to take the first steps. In counseling my goal is to help you feel at ease and flow more easily with the transitions that happen throughout our lives. Come visit as you are working through changes, your relationship, anxiety, or stress, struggling with depression, past trauma or self-esteem issues; whatever may keep you from alignment with your highest self. Through coaching and consultation, I also offer assistance with parenting , life strategies, and planning with students.

It has been said that we move at the speed of pain. It takes courage to seek help when the pain of life requires tools we haven't yet discovered. If you are looking for a counselor with not only theoretical but experiential life-tools, I am here for you. I’m able to offer expertise in trauma, anxiety management, depression, alcohol and substance abuse, grief, and parenting issues. My vision is whole-person health: mind, body, and spirit. My approach is based on the conviction that you are the expert on yourself. I support you through the process of finding the answers that align with your deepest longings for yourself.

No matter your circumstance, psychotherapy can have a positive impact on your life and your relationships. It is my hope to act as a guide for those that are ready to achieve healing in their lives. I seek to work collaboratively with clients to explore the best tools for each unique situation. While I am competent in using ACT, DBT, CBT, Narrative Therapy, Systems Therapy, Solution Focused Brief therapy, Somatic and Polyvagal Therapy, working with me is more than a manual. I know each client has a unique modality or evidence based practice that will be the best fit.

Parenting is tough and raising a family is no easy task. If you add in a child who is emotionally or behaviorally challenging, you may be facing more than your share of difficulties. Whether you need a coach to give some guidance or you want someone to help fix your kid, at Healthy Foundations we help you as the parent (even if your child is our client).

We are a group practice with 10+ therapists who have a wide array of experience working with all ages/populations. Please visit our website for more information about each therapist at www.monarchbh.com We specialize in Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). PCIT is ideal for children ages 2-8 who are having behaviors that are difficult to manage.T he behaviors may be a result of ADHD, custody issues, trauma, oppositional defiant disorder, adjustment issues, aggression and/or anxiety.

My clinical specialties include Trauma, Couples and Marital Counseling, Parenting Issues, and a variety of Addiction. Primarily, my areas of expertise are Problematic Sexual Behaviors, Autism, and PTSD.

Clients are welcomed into my space where ever they are in terms of understanding, self-awareness, and emotion--anger, tearfulness, confusion--all are accepted as part of the process. Sessions focus on the 'here and now' while also exploring historical issues being triggered and mis-managed. I confront irrational thinking and help clients re-script their less-than-helpful language around feeling 'not good enough,' 'broken,' or 'lost.' Ultimately, clients can expect to focus on their issues--whatever they may be--and will, in the process, come to feel genuinely known, accepted, and not so alone in the process of their lives.

Being a parent and spouse are two of the most rewarding and challenging roles of adulthood. Now throw on-top of that a pandemic and potential negative impacts of social media on our children. Feeling overwhelmed yet? It's okay not to have it all figured out. It's okay to need a place to say "all the things" or to ask for a little help. I chose a couples and family masters degree program because I know the struggles of all of our conflicting roles in life while still, more than anything, wanting to be a "good" parent . And sometimes being a good parent makes it impossible to feel like a "good" spouse.

For the last twenty years, I have worked in the field of mental health, special education, and substance abuse treatment. I have a passion for helping people navigate life's challenges. My approach is down to earth and inviting, and although I am a general practitioner, I have an affinity for working with adolescents, couples, and families.

For over 25 years I have helped individuals make some of the most important decisions of their life. I specialize in helping you resolve relationship challenges as couples, co-parents, step-parents, parent -child, families, and divorcing couples. Sometimes this means strengthening the most important relationship--with yourself. I provide private counseling, coaching, personal growth retreats, and mediation services.Together, we can explore and discover answers to finding greater joy and meaning in your life.

If you are experiencing inner conflict, unhealthy patterns, or feeling stuck; if you face anxiety, fear, or self-criticism, and you seek change-you've come to the right place. I'd be delighted to help you obtain the tools you need to work toward acceptance, integration, and alignment-toward a more authentic YOU. My skills, and the integrative therapy that I offer, combined with strong intuition, have proven helpful for a wide range of problems and disorders. I will guide you through the barriers, and beyond your struggle, to get to the core of what's holding you back from a more fulfilling life.

Accepting new clients. ‘How did I get here’. ‘How do I get out,’ are common thoughts we all have. We learn to survive and do the best in the worlds we have grown up in; and sometimes we find ourselves going round and round in a strange sort of ‘uncomfortable comfort’ or ‘functional dysfunction’ of our lives. I strive to see the world through your lens and understand your unique family, cultural, and identity experiences. In every individual exists a craving to embody a life unburdened by excessive guilt and shame, while having the freedom to enjoy a more meaningful and joyful human experience.

Are you wanting to make changes, but don't know where to start? Feelings of anxiety, guilt, doubt, or other difficulties can affect the quality of your life and your relationships. I can help you work through many of these concerns, you are not alone. I am a therapist that engages with you and joins you on your journey, while providing a supportive and direct approach.
