PARENT/Caregiver Support

There is no manual when becoming a parent...but all parents need support!

Parent Support can assist with:

Tough behaviors and aggression
Potty training issues
Tantrums and big feelings
Daily struggles (dinner time, going to school etc.)
Sibling rivalry and conflict
Disrespectful communication (“talking back”)
Ineffective boundaries and lack of rules
Having parenting guilt or rage
Addiction (screens, video games, vaping etc.)
Parenting conflict and resentment
and more…

Parent Support might be for you if:

You feel overwhelmed, stuck, or lost on how to deal with your child's challenging behaviors.
You feel like parenting books don't speak to you or your child's needs.
You want individualized guidance and support.
Weekly meetings or phone calls help you stay accountable.

Together we will identify some of the barriers and find ways to get around them or remove them. We will identify strategies to manage difficult behaviors. We will review what worked, and what didn't. If it didn’t, we’ll figure out why and either try again, or try something new. Together we will develop a concrete plan utilizing strategies that will help you feel more in control of your child's behaviors (and your reactions to them). You won't feel like you are doing this alone any longer.
