You have a right to your emotions, is a valid statement; but are these emotions accurate? When emotions become so painful and confusing that it’s hard to breathe, or when they trigger feelings that lead to behaviors you regret or even fear- it’s time to do some work. Circumstances can change, yet the same painful emotions can recur in different situations or new relationships. Consciencly understanding how to recognize and navigate these emotions through observing patterns and triggers is the goal of my therapy. It will enable you to move forward.

Welcome to Pine Ridge. Since switching to Tele-Therapy in 2019, we now help individuals and couples throughout New York state. My holistic approach to counseling not only treats painful symptoms but also heals the underlying emotional wounds. The key is listening, without judgment. Being heard frees people from guilt and shame and fosters emotional healing. Likewise, understanding one's history reveals how past trauma distorts and impairs one's ability to deal rationally with present stressors and challenges. With increased mindfulness, one is better able to regulate one's emotions, make changes and cope more effectively with life.

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.
