Therapy for Parents

Your kid’s anxiety is a puzzle you haven’t been able to solve.

Efforts to soothe your child’s worries about seemingly small things aren’t working, and you don’t know what to do.

Your attempts to offer comfort, reassurance, and understanding only seem to result in your child clinging to you, crying, and desperately proclaiming, “I can’t do it!”

Sometimes, the exhaustion from these interactions takes a toll on your patience. You give ultimatums and raise your voice because you can’t be late for school or work again.

When the stress and strain of your child’s anxiety take over…

Parenting isn’t easy. When your child or teen is overwhelmed by anxiety, worry, or fears that are out of proportion to the actual risk, parenting becomes even more challenging.

You feel like you’re walking on eggshells, trying to avoid their triggers and manage meltdowns.

Despite your best efforts, you feel like nothing is working, leaving you unsure of what to do next. The whole family is tired, and it’s time to move forward from this. Enough is enough.

Therapy for parents can help.

I offer research-based and nervous system-informed therapies specific to helping you learn new tools and strategies to resolve stuck patterns of anxiety, OCD, or similar problems impacting your child.

Kids’ brains are still developing and under construction. This means kids have a harder time making sense of anxiety, worry, or fear experiences.

This is where parent therapy comes in. Although your child is the client, sessions are done around your schedule (typically, your child won’t need to attend).

Take the next step in solving your child’s anxiety puzzle.
