Parent Support and Consulting
Parent Support and Consulting is perfect for parents to be and parents to children of any age. We know how challenging it can be for parents to navigate their own needs in addition to their child's mental health needs. From finding the right therapist to understanding their child, parents are often overwhelmed and in need of support. Our services at Pediatric and Adult Behavioral Counseling are designed to provide parents with the resources, guidance, and support they need to better understand and manage their child's mental health.
It is very important to understand that every child is unique with their own personality and that will come along with their own set of challenges. Just because one way of parenting may work with one child, does not mean it will work for all children. We offer a wide range of benefits, including increased parental involvement, improved treatment outcomes, and reduced stigma surrounding mental health issues. We provide parents with the resources, guidance, and support they need to better understand and manage their own and their child's mental health needs. Whether a child is struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or another mental health issue; parent support and consulting services can help parents navigate the complex world of mental health care. Our goal is to help parents identify a common ground to provide support to each other, set healthy boundaries, identify age appropriate discipline and rewards, and provide tips for improving communication and building positive relationships with their children.
