Parenting Therapists in Stone Ridge, VA
I provide therapy to individuals and families with anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, trauma, parenting and family conflict.
Sometimes our stress and worries can affect the way we interact with the world and can take a toll on the mind, body, and impact relationships. I believe healing from within, starts with compassion and feeling seen. Whether you want to prioritize your mental health or work on relational issues - having a nonjudgmental and supportive safe space can open the door to potential change and growth. When clients are willing to learn and explore beneath the surface of their day-to-day living, they open up new ways to better connect with themselves and with others. I use a collaborative, warm, and mindfulness approach to therapy.

"Oh shit," you think. "I did it again." You snapped and exploded at someone you love. You said yes - when you really meant no - just so you wouldn't rock the boat. You replay, over and over, the stupid thing you said to the cashier yesterday. You got stressed out, overwhelmed, and did the Thing that you promised yourself you'd never do again. Regardless, the story remains the same: I am the bad guy. I am weak. I'm not good enough. I don't belong. I am unlovable. Do you ever tell yourself these stories? Here's the secret: We all do.

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.
