Parenting Therapy

Our parenting therapy services support mothers, fathers, and parents navigating challenges at any stage of parenthood.

Parenthood is a transformative journey— and may feel conflictual at times-- our therapy helps parents overcome challenges and embrace their new identity.

We work with people who are parents, about to be parents, or considering having children. Many people find difficulties in the transition to becoming a parent. Whether a person anticipated it or not, being a parent gives on a front row seat to their own childhood. This can bring back happy, warm memories, or dark and painful memories. It will likely be a combination of both. This can be experienced consciously, as you remember it directly, or unconsciously. If experienced indirectly, it can be post-partum depression or anxiety, or not feeling like oneself. Your identity has changed and a new identity requires discovery.

Whether you find the newborn phase joyful or challenging, our parenting therapy helps you thrive at every stage. Or the opposite, some may struggle in the baby phase and then acclimate to the tasks of attunement to tantrums and toddler differentiation. Whatever you are struggling with in parenting, we will be curious about what is happening for you. We will explore it together and work with your emotions in a nonjudgmental way. People can carry a lot of shame when they don’t feel “good” at parenting, or their ability to enjoy their child.

Struggling with parenting challenges? Contact us to learn how our therapy can help you feel more confident and connected. Sometimes it is a couple issue, where parents cannot find a shared approach to how they want to raise their children. People can learn new things about their partner when they become parents together, and this can also bring on a lot of disappointments in who their partner is or isn’t. We can work through this in therapy, where hopefully you can feel more confident as a parent and connected with your child and partner.
