Parent Coaching
Parenting is an incredibly fulfilling lifelong journey. As parents, we bring so much love and dedication to this crucial role and strive to bring up healthy and well-adjusted children. However, this is more easily said than done—especially given the increased demands associated with modern society and all related pressures, forcing us to wear so many hats and navigate so many daily challenges with very little support.
If you are a parent who is stressed, overwhelmed, and/or full of guilt and self-doubt, you’ve come to the right place. My goal is to help you gain confidence as a parent while guided by the love you have for your child as well as your own intuition.
This journey will empower you with tools backed up by the latest neuroscience and child development research, teaching you to embrace parenting challenges while becoming mindful of and responsible for your own emotions. This process will ultimately allow you to break unhealthy patterns and help you forge a stronger connection with your child while fostering peace and happiness in your home.
Parent coaching sessions target your specific parenting concerns.
Specific areas to tackle and overcome include:
Addressing emotional dysregulation & challenging behaviors among children.
Managing parenting stress & career/family life balance.
Preparing to welcome a new sibling to the family.
Calming sibling rivalry.
Adjusting to a new life transition.
Outcome:
Develop a better understanding of your child’s social/emotional development stage, temperament, and sensory needs and how this manifests behaviorally.
Learn effective evidence-based strategies to help you set limits with confidence while maintaining a solid connection with your child and overall peace in the home.
Create an intentional and clear vision for your family.
Post-Diagnosis Parent Support
Watching a child struggle with learning or typical development is a concern that weighs heavily on every parent. It's natural to feel confused and stressed when these challenges arise.
Psychoeducational
Here, the parents or caregivers are provided with the latest evidenced-based information regarding the diagnosis. We will dispel the myths and misinformation provided online to help you better understand the condition and how it presents in your child, while also highlighting your child’s strengths. Additionally, we will provide support to help integrate all the information and recommendations gathered in the feedback session in a way that is aligned with your family´s value system, quality of life, and your child’s wellbeing.
Emotional processing
Parents often experience receiving a diagnosis for their child as overwhelming. The reaction to a diagnosis can include many emotions, and parents or caregivers often find themselves alone in this journey. Many experience feelings of confusion, fear, worry, disappointment, and guilt.
The goal of this therapy is to help parents process these feelings in a nonjudgmental, safe space. During this time, we explore the reasons and the belief system behind these feelings, arming them with accurate information that empowers and builds them up to be the parents they dreamt to be for their children.
