Parenting Support
Parenting Support to Empower and Inspire Confidence
Our therapists are passionate about providing parenting support to help parents feel confident, empowered, and content in their parental identity and parenting philosophies. We understand the ups and downs of parenting because we are parents too. Our approach is warm and non-judgmental, offering supportive therapy to guide you through the joys and challenges of taking care of your children. In addition to supportive therapy, we offer parent coaching and consultations for various parenting concerns, including sleep issues, eating and feeding challenges, and behavioral concerns. We are here to help you navigate these hurdles with confidence and skill.
Evidence-Based Parenting Support in Washington, D.C.
There is so much conflicting and contradictory information around parenting that it’s hard for parents to know where to start, who to trust, and what to do. Our therapists utilize evidence-based parenting interventions drawing from developmental psychology, neuropsychology, and parenting education programs. We help you cut through the “noise” and use parenting strategies and frameworks that work. Our goal is to help you feel confident, effective, content, and secure in your parental voice.
Tailored Parenting Strategies for Everyday Challenges
In addition to therapy, we offer parenting consultations and short-term targeted support tailored to your specific parenting concerns. This includes strategies for managing sleep regressions, transitioning from crib to bed, or nighttime fears. We also provide support for concerns about feeding your child including addressing “pickiness,” sensory concerns, and promoting a healthy body image.
We help parents support their children through difficult transitions including the birth of a sibling, moving, starting school, or a loss in the family. Our evidence-based parenting interventions ensure that you receive the most effective support and help you build confidence in your parenting philosophy. Whether you need support with everyday challenges or more complex behavioral issues, we are here to empower you with the tools and knowledge you need to succeed.
Therapy for Parental Triggers and Attachment Wounds
Becoming a parent is often the catalyst for addressing one’s own experience of being parented. Many new parents discover that the emotions and behaviors that they find hard to tolerate in their children are related to feelings or behaviors they were not allowed to express in childhood. These ruptures in attachment and connection with a caregiver in childhood need to be addressed in adulthood to better manage present emotional triggers. Therapy can help you understand and heal the roots of self-critical thoughts, attachment patterns, and emotional triggers that show up in your parenting. Through a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship, we will help you cultivate self-compassion, build emotional resilience, and heal these attachment wounds.
Support for Parents of Kids with Complex Needs
Our team has significant experience supporting parents whose children are medically complex or fragile, have ongoing health concerns, and/or have significant behavioral or psychological challenges. We understand the unique strain of intensive caregiving, the trauma and shock of a difficult diagnosis, and the ongoing experiences of isolation and loneliness that come from being on a different parenting journey than one’s peers. We are here to help you manage caregiver burnout, navigate experiences of trauma, grief, and overwhelm, and support you as you support your child and family.
