Parenting Therapists in Cupertino, CA

It’s easy for parents to be overwhelmed with the non-stop demands of parenting. When a child displays behaviors such as defiance, temper tantrums, aggression, impulsivity, etc, it can feel unbelievably stressful. My approach is to partner with parents to guide them in, first, developing the skills to enhance their bond with their child. During therapeutic coaching sessions, the parent has the opportunity to develop mastery of skills in a calm, non-threatening format while the child plays with toys, with my guidance and support. This approach is well researched and successful.

High school can be stressful, especially for students navigating the clash between different cultures. The high peer-pressures affect mental health, leading to sleep disturbances, anxiety, and even depression. Unfortunately, even some students resort to suicide. Tense parent-child relationships hinder communication. High-achieving students may suffer a sudden decline in grades due to psychological issues. Internet and gaming addictions further complicate matters. Many students feel lost and burdened with self-blame, while parents struggle to help their children cope with their emotions effectively.

Are stress and anxiety taking control and holding your child back from being their old selves and reaching their goals? Is it affecting important areas of life including school, friendships, and even fun? Are you searching for a therapist who understands and can provide support in growing and navigating challenges? You may not remember a time when things weren't so tough. You're in the right place if your child's ready to learn strategies to cope and restructure your thinking patterns so they feel more confident, empowered, and balanced.

Psychological testing can highlight a child's strengths, clarify areas of need and provide parents and teachers with practical steps they can take.
