What can therapy help me with?

Therapy can aid you in modifying problematic patterns that are inhibiting you from leading the full life you desire. It can help you lead a more purposeful, harmonious and balanced life and set you free from negative internalized thoughts and self-damaging and compulsive behaviors. In therapy you will gain insights and awareness about yourself, your relationships and the way you interact with the world around you. It will aid you in understanding and building upon your strengths and developing tools and skills for changing problematic behaviors, compulsions and thoughts.

Parental Support

Parental Support can be an incredible resource for parents to learn the skills and tools for best supporting their children to develop and thrive. Additionally, parental support is a space where parents can express concerns, receive support and develop appropriate boundaries, self-care routines and skills to help achieve a balance between caring for themselves and their families.

Parental Support for Children with Special Needs

Raising a child with special needs can be challenging. Parental support therapy can help you cope with the stress and anxiety of parenting a child with special needs, as well as help you develop the skills you need to be an effective parent to your child.

In parental support therapy, you will have the space to discuss the specific challenges you face as a parent and you will develop specific plans, tools, skills and coping mechanisms to help you manage these challenges. You will also learn about effective parenting skills, such as communication, problem-solving, and setting limits.

Here are some of the benefits of parental support therapy:

Reduced Stress and Anxiety: Parental support therapy can help you reduce the stress and anxiety that you may be feeling as a result of parenting a child with special needs.

Improved Coping Skills: Parental support therapy can help you develop coping skills to help you manage the challenges of parenting a child with special needs.

Increased Knowledge: Parental support therapy can help you increase your knowledge about special needs and how to best support your child.

Improved Communication: Parental support therapy can help you improve your communication with your child, your partner and other professionals involved in your child's care.

Improve Relationship with Your Partner: Parenting combined with the additional responsibilities of caring for a child with special needs can stress a couple’s relationship to the point where communication and intimacy break down, which can undermine one’s ability to work as a team to co-parent effectively. In parental support therapy, we work with parents to help them connect as a team, work collaboratively, and create opportunities to better connect and support one another.
