Introduction
Parenting is the most important but toughest job on the planet. But parenting is really hard when your child is struggling. It's so painful to see how fear, anger, sadness can take hold of your child. Big emotions turn a simple activity or transition into an overwhelming event. You walk on eggshells to prevent a blow up. Coaxing your child to participate in life is exhausting. You’ve talked gently with your child, encouraged them, tried consequences and rewards. But it’s difficult for your child to verbalize their feelings or they push you away. You feel stuck. You worry how this behavior will impact their future. In therapy, your child will learn to have fun when it’s time for fun and focus when it’s time to focus, enjoy their passions and gracefully complete less interesting tasks, take pride in their accomplishments and acknowledge when they can do better, know when to reach out to you for help and accept help when needed. Call or email me to schedule a free 20-minute consultation, where you describe the behaviors and emotions of your child that are concerning to you and ask any questions you have about child therapy. Then, we can schedule your child’s first session. Take the initial step to put your child back on the path to wellness. I look forward to speaking with you.
