Being a parent isn’t always love and joy, it is also overwhelming and stressful on a daily basis. Alongside a licensed therapist who specializes in identifying and decoding your child’s behavior, work together to develop an obtainable and goal directed plan. Learn to implement practical tools and build a healthy and connected child-parent dynamic. Our child development specialist and therapists with years of clinical experience will work with you to enhance your confidence as a parent in the midst of so many different parenting approaches.
Needing help or direction as a parent is something we all need sometimes - it does not make you a bad parent or any less of a caretaker - instead, it is a sign of strength, empowerment, and role modeling for your child.
