Parent Support

Our parent support program allows parents to partner with a child and family therapist to take steps toward a more fulfilling family life. 

Parenting Anxious Kids

I want to offer support to my anxious kid without enabling their anxiety... How do I do that? 
 
We offer a parenting program called SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), which helps parents offer support while holding thoughtful boundaries with their child. Through this process, parents help their child build capacity to handle fears and worries.   
 
Research on SPACE found that this parent-based treatment improved kids’ symptoms of anxiety and led to decreased parenting stress.  
 
SPACE is available as a stand-alone treatment for interested parents, or as an add-on treatment for parents whose child is already in therapy. We offer SPACE as a 6-week program with options to participate in a group setting or one-on-one with a therapist. 

Parenting "Neuro-Spicy" Kids

My child is neurodivergent (ADHD-er, Autistic, etc.). How can I best support them at home?

Parents of neurodivergent kids often find themselves dealing with many questions about how to create harmony within their family and support their child to feel regulated at home.  
 
We approach these questions through the lens of unmet needs, whether for your child, yourselves as parents, or any other family members living in the home. By identifying unmet needs and designing creative ways to meet them, we can take actionable steps toward a more satisfying home life. 
 
Our parent support program takes a neuro-affirming approach to neurodivergence, meaning that we recognize and validate neurological differences and focus on practices that help neurodivergent families thrive.

Parenting as a Team

We are struggling to get on the same page about parenting and running our household. How can we work together despite differences in our parenting approaches? 

Parenthood puts a lot of pressure on couples and can illuminate differences in the ways each parent approaches raising children and running the household. At times, one or both parents may feel overloaded with responsibilities and wish for more support from their partner.  

We integrate resources from the Gottman Institute’s Bringing Baby Home workshop to help parents:

• Communicate needs
• Regulate through conflict
• Restore friendship and connection through a culture of appreciation
