Please Stop Talking! Have you thought this about your past therapist? Have you wondered how they could try and help you when they did not stop long enough to get to know you? As a Clinical Psychologist in practice for 30 years, I have heard this complaint more than any other among my patients whom have previously been in psychotherapy. In my clinical practice I respect the patient as the expert on themselves and will work with you to bring out the insight, esteem, knowledge and coping strategies you had inside or were open to learning about.

Parenting may come naturally for some, but it is not an easy task to take on. Even if you're lucky enough to be born with kids who are well-behaved from the get-go, there will always be hurdles along the way - things that can test even the most patient and understanding of parents. For instance, let's say your child is undergoing an emotional or behavioral crisis and there's nothing you seem able to do about it; or worse still, they're displaying some strange or unusual habits when they've never done so before (it happens). So how do we fix this situation?
