Our relationships with our children can bring us immense joy, and often, also bring up feelings of frustration, overwhelm, concern and failure. Childhood and adolescence can be challenging for both child and parent and typical life stressors as well as life changes brought about by the pandemic, hardship, death and marital breakdown can erode relationships and confidence, making it sometimes difficult for parents to navigate alone. Counseling can help parents increase communication with each other and within the family and support their growth, understanding and resilience.
Therapy provides parents with tools to manage stress, improve communication, strengthen family relationships, and build confidence in their parenting.
No. Many parents seek therapy for everyday stress, transitions such as divorce or new family roles, or to develop healthier parenting strategies.
Not necessarily. Therapy can be beneficial for one parent individually, or for both together, depending on the goals and needs of the family.
Common topics include parenting stress, family conflict, work-life balance, emotional regulation, and strategies for supporting children’s growth.
