Given the tremendous influence that parents have on their children’s development, we value our ability to offer parents the tools they need to successfully handle challenges that inevitably arise in parenting. Parent-focused therapy sessions may be utilized to fix problems, resolve issues, and repair family relationships or they can be used to help prevent problems from occurring in the future. In parent-focused therapy sessions, we strive to help parents feel more satisfied with the ways in which you interact and communicate with your child. We work closely with you to develop a customized treatment plan that addresses your family’s needs.
Common treatment goals may include:
- Helping you better understand your child’s mood or behaviors
- Developing techniques for handling difficult behaviors
- Implementing behavior plans at home and school
- Finding ways to help your child listen and follow directions
- Enhancing co-parenting between parents
- Reducing parenting stress
- Understanding age-appropriate behaviors
- Assisting you in meeting your family’s needs during significant transitions, such as divorce, relocation, or loss of a loved one
