Parenting Support

Counseling for Parents and Caregivers of Children and Teens

“If only my child had come with an instruction manual!”

That’s a thought that most parents have had at some point in their lives.  But dont fret! You have found the right place. You are not alone!

Parenting is one of the hardest jobs in the world—and it doesn’t come with a guidebook. When your child is struggling, it’s easy to feel frustrated, exhausted, or even guilty for not having all the answers. The truth is, no parent can do this alone.

Nothing really prepares you to become a parent. Some of us were lucky enough to have parents that set a good example. But others grew up in homes where the dynamic between child and parent was anything but functional or consistently loving.

But the truth is—even if you did have loving parents that did right by you 24/7—you can never be fully prepared to handle sticky situations with your own children. You never really know what behavioral challenges your child may wind up struggling with, and how those will affect your other children and the family as a whole.

Do any of these sound familiar?

  • Do you ever feel like no matter what you try, nothing seems to work with your child?

  • Does it feel like you’re walking on eggshells around your child or teen?

  • Are you and your co-parent struggling to stay on the same page?

  • Do you want to break unhealthy patterns you grew up with, but don’t know how?

  • Is your child’s behavior—defiance, shutting down, meltdowns—leaving you drained?

  • Do you worry about risky choices your teen might be making with friends, school, sex, or substances?

  • Do you wonder if you’re doing enough to support your child through stress, anxiety, or big life changes?

If so, parenting support can give you tools, guidance, and confidence.

How Parenting Support Helps?

In parenting support sessions, you’ll gain strategies to:

  • Improve communication and connection with your child or teen

  • Set boundaries and discipline that actually work

  • Build consistency and teamwork with other caregivers

  • Support your child’s emotional regulation and resilience

  • Break generational cycles and create a healthier family dynamic

Parenting support is not about judgment—it’s about empowering you to feel capable, supported, and confident in your role.


Parenting Kids Who Have Experienced Trauma

Parenting can feel even more overwhelming when your child has experienced trauma. Trauma changes how kids see themselves, others, and the world, and it can show up as anxiety, fear, anger, withdrawal, or behavior challenges.

That’s where Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) comes in. TF-CBT is an evidence-based model that involves both the child and caregiver. Parents play a vital role in their child’s healing process, and therapy gives you:

  • Tools to understand trauma and its effects on behavior

  • Strategies for supporting your child during triggers or flashbacks

  • Guidance on how to respond with validation instead of frustration

  • A safe space to process your own feelings as a caregiver

  • Structured activities to rebuild trust and strengthen your bond
