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. 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?

There’s not enough time. I need a nap. Everybody is looking at me… smarter than me… better than me. I’m just not good at this, I’ll never be— I quit. I need my phone. This is impossible. It’s not even worth it. 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?

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. Can kids and parents be best friends? My teenager won’t put down their phone. Did I do this? I’m fine— until I lose it.

We’ll assess which you would like to make change as a parent and work on them one by one. You’ll learn strategies to recognize negative patterns and break them, to talk with and listen to your child or teenager, to set healthy boundaries while honoring theirs. We will practice skills like having difficult conversations, making tough decisions, and redefining you. Being a parent is not easy, but there are ways you can help yourself stay calm during the storm.
