What is parenting therapy?
Parenting therapy can teach parents to look at behavior differently and instead of reacting to it and trying to shape it with rewards and punishments, understand what need the behavior is communicating and then meeting that need.
By incorporating attachment-based, culturally inclusive theories we provide treatment that is tailored to your unique family, your background, and your child.
We also incorporate:
Learning new strategies and techniques to deal with common parenting challenges such as work-life balance, self-regulation, and managing mental load.
