Is your child expressing self-doubt?

I can’t. I don’t want to (risk it). It’s too hard. It’s not my fault. I’m not doing it. Nothing ever goes my way. Do you think this is good? Why do things have to change? I’m scared. You don’t understand!

We’ll identify your child’s emotional struggles, what triggers them, and the behaviors or feelings they wish to change. Through roleplaying and activities that help your child overcome challenges in the moment, we’ll start to change your child’s perspective for the better. As we learn and practice these skills your child’s self-confidence will increase, they’ll transition from a fixed to growth mindset, they’ll begin to challenge and replace irrational beliefs, and start to manage their emotions, while understanding the emotions of others.

Is your teenager struggling with friends, school, tough choices—or even at home with you?

I wasn’t invited—I don’t care. I will… I just haven’t done it yet. I haven’t decided yet. Should we take a break? It’s not even worth it. There’s not enough time. I need a nap. Everybody is looking at me… smarter than me… better than me. I know you hate me!

Your teen will identify their inner struggles and then the thoughts, feelings, behaviors they want to change. Who do they want to be? Together we’ll address target areas one by one. Your teen will learn which tools to use and practice the strategies needed to make decisions that reflect their values.

Focus areas include: embracing a growth mindset, managing emotions, challenging and replacing irrational beliefs, and becoming a stronger, more confident young adult.

How are you?

As a parent? I have a hard time saying no. I have a hard time saying yes. My child is off to school, now what? How can I get my child to try something new? My child is so hard on himself. My teenager won’t put down their phone. Did I do this? I’m fine— until I lose it.

As a person? There isn’t enough time. I know what I want, but it seems so out of reach. I want to get back to who I know I am.

We’ll assess the challenges you are facing as a parent and a person. We’ll work on them one by one. You’ll learn strategies to recognize and break negative pattens, to talk with and listen to your child, to reduce stress in your own life, and to confidently set healthy, consistent boundaries. We will practice skills like having difficult conversations, making tough decisions, and taking care of you. Being a parent is not easy, but there are ways you can help yourself stay calm during the storm.
