Does your child bite, hit or kick? Have they been in trouble at school or daycare? Would you describe them as defiant, uncooperative, or non-compliant? Do you feel like you're struggling and everything you've tried hasn't worked?
In your role as a parent, it's important to feel empowered and in control of your family's well-being. Having parent skills you can rely on and trusting that your child will listen is an essential part of life satisfaction and cohesion in your family unit.
I use Parent-Child Interactive Therapy to teach parents skills that will nourish your relationship with your child. This means that children will follow instructions, be kind to others, and express their emotions. Treatment lasts 14-20 weeks, although some families benefit from more.
My style of therapy integrates empathy, self-compassion, healing, and growth. I hope to help each person and unit that I work with become a more empowered and cohesive version of themselves. My therapeutic space is a place for us to be curious and explore, free of judgement. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation and we can get started on your journey.
