Parenting Counseling
Therapy Online & in Person in Houston

We get parenthood.

There are hundreds of books outlining different approaches for getting your child to be more compliant, framing guidelines for digital media use, teaching sleep training, and increasing connection between parent and child — you name it, it’s out there! 

But, it’s not specific to your child or family. This is where working with a parenting therapist can be life-changing.  Just click the button below to get started ↓

How we can help

The best thing you can do for your kids is to heal yourself

Have you ever wondered what would have happened if your parents had gone to therapy?  Here’s how parenting counseling can help you avoid the same pitfalls as your parents:

1

Your first session

In your first session, a parenting therapist will evaluate what’s going on for you, and create a personalized, goal-oriented plan to help.

2

Evidence-based treatments

 Come back for regular sessions with your therapist, either in Houston or therapy online. We’ll use methods based on evidence-based practices, like CBT, Parent Management Training, Parent Child Interaction Therapy, and SPACE, to help you be the best parent you can be while balancing your needs with your child’s.

3

Support & freedom!

As you use the techniques and strategies we show you, the pressures of being a parent begin to feel lighter. Your relationship and communication with your child will improve and you will find yourself overwhelmed less and connecting more.

Our goal is to get you out of therapy and into living freely — like you truly deserve!

The “perfect parent” doesn’t exist…

But you can be whole, healed, and present. And that’s the next best thing. 

Therapy for parents is something we recommend for any mom or dad. Whether you’ve had your first baby and you’re feeling incredibly overwhelmed, or you’re struggling to parent difficult teenagers, or anything in between, parenting therapy can be a much-needed lifeline.
