Therapy for Parenting
My clients are also adults having difficulty with the tremendous job of being a parent. I have extensive experience working with troubled youth, youth at risk, mental health issues, and with coaching parents to improve their relationship and have greater success in parenting their children. Learning and implementing new parenting skills also takes a great deal of work and commitment, but parents with this commitment can achieve wonders.
In addition to parenting techniques and skills, adults need coping skills, and the ability to develop a healthy relationship with themselves, good boundaries, and self-care practices. To be able to parent effectively, adults need to feel like they are “whole,” worthwhile people. This may mean they need to be “unstuck” from something that happened to them in their past, or simply to learn how to change a faulty behavior or belief system they are using at present. This also means learning skills to control and abate anxiety and to pull oneself out of depression. Finally, successful parents learn that their job is to raise their children to become completely independent, mature, and capable adults. Preparing children for this path is a daunting task, but it is possible with solid skills and commitment.
