Frequently Asked Questions About Parenting Therapy
Get answers to common questions about parenting therapy therapy in Novato, CA.
What parenting challenges do you help with?
I help with behavioral challenges, communication breakdowns, discipline approaches, anxiety in children, parenting after divorce, blended family dynamics, parenting children with special needs, managing your own triggers, and healing your own childhood wounds that affect your parenting.
Do you work with the child or just the parents?
I primarily work with parents, which is often the most effective approach. When parents change their responses, children's behavior typically follows. Sometimes I include family sessions or work individually with teens. We'll determine the best approach for your situation.
Can therapy help if I'm struggling with anger as a parent?
Absolutely. Parental anger is often triggered by our own childhood experiences. Therapy helps you understand your triggers, develop regulation skills, break cycles from your own upbringing, and respond rather than react. Seeking help with anger shows strength and love for your children.
