Become Your Child’s Best Therapist

Build Parent Confidence


Our goal is to give you the confidence to address the many issues that must be resolved, including communication and behavior issues. Most parents who schedule an intensive are experiencing a significant amount of family distress or aren’t sure how to proceed with their child. Many parents are at their wit’s end.

Through a 6-hour intensive, you will be provided the tools for parenting success if your family is in distress because of behavior issues, navigating co-parenting, or struggling with big life changes.

Why Do a Parent Intensive?

  • You’re wondering how to help your child at home
  • You want to learn how to help manage your child’s mood swings and emotional dysregulation
  • You want to learn your child’s perspective or how to bond with them
  • You want to learn attachment-based parenting skills so you can extend the therapy process at home.

Your parent-child relationship deserves time, space, and focus because this is one of the most important relationships your child will ever have.

You aren’t a bad parent,
and your child is perfect just as they are.

(I promise!)

Learn the language of your child

You aren’t struggling because your child is bad or you’re a bad parent. On the contrary, the real issue is most likely a combination of emotional connection with your child plus knowing how to speak their unique language.

Your child speaks through action. For young children, this is through play. Through older kids, this is intentional, connection time (like, going to Starbucks!). Your job is to interpret the meaning, and we’ll help you do that!

Your child wants to feel seen, heard and understood just as we all do at every phase of our lifespan.

A Parent Intensive can help you deepen your relationship with your child in several ways:

  • Help your child become more aware of their own feelings

  • Become an advocate for your child even in the midst of parenting

  • Manage conflict in productive ways

  • Learn to focus on the relationship, not the problem

  • Notice physical characteristics that you love about your child

  • Learn the difference in encouragement and praise, and when to use both

  • Learn A-C-T method to limit-setting

  • Identify themes while you play with your child

FAQs

Why Choose a Parent Intensive?

What will the process be for our Parent Coaching sessions?

Your Coach gets an in-depth view of your personal attachment style. Research shows that how you learn to do relationships as you grow up is often how you do relationships as an adult, including your parenting style. Through an assessment and interview process, your Parent Therapist will understand the family dynamic that so they can better help intervene.

Learn new ways to tune into your self-care as you learn to navigate your parent-child relationship. You’ll become more aware of how your own mental health and wellness affect the relationship with your child.

Learn new strategies and tools to deepen the relationship with your child while setting limits and learning their play language.
