“Perhaps it takes courage to raise children”
— John Steinbeck, East of Eden
Parenting support isn’t about how to fix your kids.
It’s about having a place to talk about what’s real and what’s really hard.
Here’s how it often sounds:
“It’s hard to watch them struggle without always trying to fix it for them.”
“I can’t seem to separate their anxiety from my own.”
“I feel responsible for how they turn out, like everything they do reflects on me.”
“What works at my house, falls apart at my ex’s.”
“I’m trying to be open-minded about who my child is, but some things are hard for me to understand.”
“I feel like I’m always the rule-setter, and my partner gets to be the fun one.”
What we’ll work on
Therapy can help
Learn to respond instead of react when things get tense.
Make space for who your child is becoming, not just who you hoped they’d be.
Support connection without slipping into guilt or over-functioning.
Find balance between guiding, protecting, and letting go.
Navigate differences in parenting styles, identities, or values with more understanding.
Create steadiness and clear communication across households or within blended families.
Support your child’s independence without feeling shut out or dismissed.
