Transitions can range from becoming a parent for the first time, loss of a loved one, change in relationship or job status and even leaving home for the first time to attend college.
Talking helps. By talking we create opportunities for change, we enhance our ability to find satisfaction in our work and in our relationships and we become better able to resolve conflicts and alleviate the physical and emotional tension created when we feel anxious or depressed. As a therapist in private practice since 2001 I have learned that the client has the answers; it is up to the therapist to ask the right questions. I have also learned that having a safe place to talk creates the environment needed for each of us to become our own agents of change.

Children/adolescents: Childhood can be a challenging time and, because children lack the experience and internal resources that adults have, they often express themselves through their behaviors. As a parent it can be hard to understand your child's behaviors or how to address them. In my practice I create a warm, fun, and safe environment and work to establish a trusting relationship so that we can explore your child’s thoughts and feelings. I work collaboratively with parents to help them gain insights into their child's behaviors and how to effectively meet their child’s needs.

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.
