Parenting Support & Family Therapy
It is not uncommon for parents to feel locked out and isolated from all that is occurring in their child’s life. During such a sensitive time period, parents will find it beneficial to have their own support network; gaining insight into the intricacies of their child’s mind while learning more successful ways to create connection and understanding within the household.
As a parent, this is not just a time to simply ‘get through.’ This is a time to thrive – to equip yourself with the knowledge, understanding and awareness it takes to be your child’s main source of stability.
