Are you feeling lost, drained, and overwhelmed by your toddlers behavior? Have you tried everything to get your kid to listen but their defiance has left you feeling hopeless?

Does your kid or teens disruptive behavior make it impossible to enjoy time together? You are not alone. Whether you are a new parent, are preparing for parenthood, or have a few years experience, parenting is tough. We offer parenting support counseling for all types of parents. Life can present obstacles that make parenthood even more difficult. You might feel like you don’t have enough support to succeed whether from a partner, extended family, or community. Your upbringing with your own parents may be one you don’t want to repeat but feel lost as to how to be the parent you hoped you would be.  You want the best for your child but how do you implement a loving, accepting, and patient house when you are constantly feeling overwhelmed and unprepared? Counseling for parents can help provide relief!

Parents who work with an experienced counselor often feel a sense of understanding and relief. You will feel supported and be given practical strategies to start using right away. Many start to understand their child’s behavior better and feel empowered to correct undesirable behaviors. Our counselors can help you facilitate the type of relationship you hope to have with your child and bring peace and fun again back to your home.
