Parent Support Counseling

A space for parents to process the stress, fear, and confusion that can come with raising a struggling adolescent, with guidance informed by years of working directly with teens. 

Raising a struggling adolescent can be emotionally exhausting, and having a dedicated space to process your own stress, fears, and reactions often benefits not only you, but your entire family.

Parent Support Therapy is designed to support the well-being of parents while also offering practical guidance for navigating the challenges of adolescence. At times, with everyone's agreement, the adolescent may join a session to share information, clarify misunderstandings, or participate in a conversation that can then be processed further with the parents after the adolescent leaves.

The primary focus of this work remains supporting parents as they care for their adolescent, recognizing that families often function best when the people carrying the greatest responsibilities have a place to feel supported as well.

In Parent Support Therapy, some parents want to focus on what's happening with their teen. Others are working on things that have nothing to do with parenting at all, but still want a therapist who understands the adolescent years and what they bring up. Whatever you're needing support for right now, there's room for it here.

Yes, I do.  As children grow up, family dynamics shift.  Family therapy gives everyone room to speak up and helps you find better ways to talk and understand each other.
