Navigating the Rocky Road of Parenting
Parenting a Child Who Struggles can be Painful
Parent consultations provide guidance on effectively managing challenging situations, helping to reduce problematic behaviors in your child while enhancing your ability to respond calmly and appropriately. Our clinicians act as educational and supportive resources, teaching you communication strategies that foster positive family relationships.
We focus on addressing your own anxieties, frustrations, and coping mechanisms, allowing you to better understand your child and respond to their needs with greater skill. These sessions are tailored to provide parenting strategies that are customized for your child’s unique needs.
Consultations are available for parents of children and teens, whether or not they are currently in therapy with us. Research strongly supports that working with parents can significantly improve a child’s functioning.
Consultations can address a wide range of issues, including:
- Child development phases
- Communication strategies
- Family dynamics
- Relationships with siblings and peers
- Establishing routines
- Discipline and boundaries
- Increasing positive attention
- Setting expectations
- Behavioral Parent Training
