Parent Consultation
Parents often seek services from our counselors when they have tried "just about everything" to address the hyperactive, defiant, or anxious behaviors of their children. We believe in empowering parents by building on what they are already doing well, rather than criticizing or highlighting weaknesses. Our counselors help parents tune into and trust the instincts that are already within them and try new approaches to be the parents they always wanted to be. Recognizing the enormous stress, time, and energy that comes with being a parent, we emphasize taking "baby steps" by implementing new techniques gradually at a pace that is manageable for you. While working with our counselors, parents reported having enhanced confidence in curbing challenging behaviors at home, more patience and less frustration while parenting, and improved relationships with their children and family.
