Can you imagine a parenting journey where you feel not only equipped with practical strategies but also supported emotionally, ensuring a more fulfilling and harmonious family life?

Parenting therapy is a specialized form of therapy that works with parents to help them face difficult moments in parenting. Parenting therapy also helps parents identify, address, and manage their own past or present experiences that may be affecting the way they relate to their child. In some cases, parenting therapy may also help parents better communicate between each other to maintain a cohesive and structured parenting approach.

Parenting therapy provides a judgement-free zone for parents to discuss tough moments in parenting and learn how to better manage these tough moments moving forward. Overall, parenting therapy aims to provide parents with the necessary knowledge, tools, guidance, and support to take care of their children in the most ideal way possible.

Who Needs Parenting Therapy?

Every parent can benefit from parenting therapy, however there are some types of parents who may benefit more from parenting therapy. Parents who have additional circumstances that cause further difficulty to their everyday life may benefit more from parenting therapy. Such circumstances may include:

• Parents of past abuse: parents who have been abused themselves are more likely to be aggressive in their child-rearing. This can cause children to develop anger, indifference, hate, and aggression.

• Parents with marital issues: the most common marital issues are infidelity and finance troubles. Infidelity can leave children feeling inadequate or abandoned, and may confuse their perceptions of love and relationships.

• Parents undergoing divorce: divorce is hard for both parents and children. With divorce, parents are focused on their own individual feelings while trying to raise their children, which can be exceedingly difficult. Divorce changes the entire nature of the family structure and may result in several life changes, such as moving.

• Parents with health problems: any type of health issue can decrease the amount of time parents are able to spend with their children. Furthermore, mental health issues can complicate daily tasks and affect the way parents relate to their children.

• Parents with substance abuse problems: substance abuse poses many potential issues to the family and should be addressed immediately.

• Parents coping with loss: losing a person, pet, job, or marriage can affect a parent’s ability to care for their child. During this time, the child may feel abandoned or may act out.

• Parents dealing with their children’s issues: children can have their own individual issues, such as trauma, that can affect a parent’s relationship with them and parents may need support and guidance to manage these issues. The child may also need a specific parenting approach to help them deal with their issues.
