Parenting Therapists in Indianapolis, IN
Clients most often seek services with me to address sexual abuse/assault, intimate partner abuse, alcohol and drug issues, family conflict, parenting, separation and loss, secondary trauma, stress, and emotional regulation related to depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
Look, I’ve been through it, still going through it, and want to help you through it too. As a therapist with my own therapist, I have come to the conclusion that self-care is more than bubble baths and face masks. Another form of self-care is talking with a therapist. I became a caregiver at an early age and lost my brother to addiction. I wished he had a safe space to lay down his inner world. My past brought me here to help you. My insight into dysfunctional families is drawn not only from personal experience but also from having helped other families and individuals discover peace within chaos.

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.
