Parenting Support/Training

If I was forced to pick only one population to work with it would probably be parents because I am essentially able to work with an adult and child at the same time. Through parenting work, we have the potential opportunity to address some of the adults concerns such as anxiety or depression and how that might be impacting their parenting style and parent/child relationship. Parenting work also directly impacts the child positively as parent(s) have the ability to be greater therapeutic agent(s) of change for their child(ren) than a counselor might be due to amount of time spent with the child(ren) and the overall relationship between parent and child.

I offer parenting support multiple ways and can alter it to what fits best for your situation and family. One way that I offer structured parenting support/training is through Child Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT), which is a 10 week model that I teach you various skills and you have play sessions with your chid(ren) utilizing your newly learned skills. And this can certainly be adapted for use with older children as well.

I also offer parenting support/training is a less structured way in which we work through and discuss various challenges or strategies. Some of the sessions may be more focused on what is happening with you as an individual and others may focus more on the parent/child interactions. It is a place for you to get support however you need it at that time.
