(EVENING/WEEKENDS) Do you feel lost, confused or stuck, trying your best, but things never seem to change or get better? Do you feel so panicked, nervous or sad, that just getting through your day is a struggle? Are you a
parent
that has tried everything you can think of to help your child but nothing seems to be working? I understand how just getting out of bed in the morning can take all of your energy or how anxiety or difficult experiences from the past can make you terrified to take the next step. It can be hard to trust someone after being hurt and talking to a counselor may seem scary. However, things can get better!

I see you wanting more support in managing your relationship,
parenting
, family life, and your own self care.
You’re fighting more often than not. You’re doing everything you can to connect with your partner, but they don’t seem to open up. You’re starting to feel resentful that you aren’t living the life you want. You’re in a cycle of conflict, making up and loving each other, back to conflict again. You’re fighting about the same things, hurt feelings, not being understood, feeling overwhelmed, the way you talk to each other, and taking things too personally. You have kids that you want to raise together in a happy home, and you want this relationship to work. I see you, I understand where you’re at, and you’re not alone anymore.

Trauma impacts both your brain and your body and it can be effectively addressed and integrated in a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment. Therapy is an opportunity to support, encourage, and empower you on your path to healing. If you have experienced trauma, your ability to trust and build satisfying relationships may have been impacted. You may find it difficult to relax. You may feel as if your experiences and relationships are hard, scary, and confusing. Validating this experience and offering you space to consider effective ways of coping and managing the impact is my focus.

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.
