Counseling for Parents

For  parents, it can be upsetting and frightening to have feelings about parenthood that don’t seem “right.”

For some parents, a morning run, a healthy diet, and receiving help and support from family and friends are sufficient enough to get through the challenging times as a parent. For others, talking to a therapist who specializes in dealing with parenthood issues can be comforting, relieving, and enlightening.

The parenting journey can bring up memories and experiences from our past that can be painful and triggering.  Often a parent finds it difficult to navigate the process of maintaining the positive parenting methods they have taken from their family of origin, while also avoiding the pitfalls of negative aspects.  Additionally, our children often act as a human mirror with regards to our own personal emotional challenges.  It can be helpful to speak with a therapist regarding all of these experiences and more.  

If you find yourself struggling in your parenting journey, I invite you to contact me today for a free consultation.
