Whether you are a parent, child or an adult with a trauma history.
You know those days when you just want to scream, "Why, why is this happening?" Everyone can feel this way at times. Add trauma or attachment issues and life can get complicated. There is great courage in seeking out help for ones troubles whether they be from years of baggage one carries around or an acute issue that has just arisen. I have had the privilege of working with many unique people over the years. These folks, who otherwise may have continued in struggles, utilized our time together to find solutions and the process to heal their wounds.

Relationships are constantly changing, but how are we growing during that period of time? Closer or distant? Understood or misunderstood? Alone or connected? Are you communicating? Often times feeling are not addressed because we have not communicated in such a way that allows for true understanding rather than a defense. Sometimes we may not know what is truly going on underneath, due to a heightened state of emotions. What would it look like to address those concerns as a couple or individual?

WHAT TO DO, WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. God didn't design you for defeat. He designed you for victory. Sometimes it feels like the world is ripping apart at the seams, and it feels like your heart can't take any more hurt. All too often, these fears are crippling, keeping us from the life God has called you to live. But no matter what the world throws at you each day-- anxiety, depression, fear, confusion, temptation -- you have a choice on how to respond. Through the practical application of God's Word, you can gain a fresh focus and purpose, become a person of character, and shine a light into your darkness.

Excellent Training from Working with Children, Teenagers and Parenting Skills.
Dark thunderstorms are hard to see out of. Especially, when you feel you are alone or worse is feeling lost. When finding your way back to you, adversity does not have to be limiting; it is a resource. Being ready for something different or for things to change is very scary. Except look at all the pain you have already been through. That alone has prepared you for what is next. It is humble to ask for help and although this can feel uneasy just know that you are stretching yourself and that is what gets you results. This work to me is sacred, and if ready then I am grateful to be HEAR for you.

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.
