Parenting Support Therapy Online In Colorado
As a parent, all you want is for your child to be happy and healthy, to see them thrive, and feel like they can handle life's challenges. And now…watching them struggle with their mental health feels overwhelming.
You’ve done everything you can think of- tried different approaches, read the books, followed the advice—yet nothing seems to stick. The constant worry, the sleepless nights, the feeling of helplessness when your child is hurting… it’s a lot.
When your child is struggling with mental health, it can feel like you're watching them drown, and no matter how hard you try, you're not able to help them up for air. You may find yourself questioning if you're doing enough, or worse, wondering if you’re a good enough parent.
Parenting support therapy offers the guidance, education, and emotional support you need to navigate these challenges.
How to Know When You Need Parenting Support Therapy
Parenting is hard, so how do you know when it's time to seek professional support? It’s not always easy to tell, especially when we normalize our struggles or minimize the challenges we face as “just part of parenting.” You might also worry about feeling judged or that seeking support means you’ve failed as a parent.
I want you to know that I don’t believe seeking support is a sign of failure—in fact, it’s a sign you are wanting to understand and strengthen your connection with your child.
Signs that you might benefit from parenting support therapy:
Frequent feelings of helplessness: No matter what you try, it feels like nothing works.
Overwhelming anxiety or stress: You’re constantly worried about your child’s future, and it’s affecting your daily life and sleep. The lying, stealing, and inability to create solid friendships scares you.
Emotional exhaustion: You’re running on empty, emotionally drained and burnt out. You’re exhausted from getting the phone calls from school, judgment from other parents at pickup, or anticipating the next time your child gets in trouble.
Difficulty managing your own emotions: You find yourself losing patience easily, feeling irritable, or feeling overwhelmed by your own emotions. You might yell every time your child puts his backpack in the middle of the floor or completely shut down when they start arguing about doing the dishes.
Struggles with connecting: Connecting with your child is difficult. You don’t understand their behaviors, tension feels high, and you dread certain parts of the day—like mornings before school, dinner, or bedtime.
Doubts about your parenting: You second-guess yourself constantly, wondering if you’re helping or making things worse. You question the consequences and boundaries you have in place, wondering if they are working (you might also struggle with maintaining the consequence or boundary).
Guilt or shame: You feel responsible for your child’s struggles or feel guilty for not being able to "fix" things. You want to fix their pain.
If ANY of these resonate with you, welcome. I can help.
Benefits of Parenting Support Therapy
You are a good parent. The fact that you are on this page right now proves it. Parenting support therapy is not about telling you how to raise your child or shaming you about your parenting. It’s about giving you the tools, insight, and emotional support you need to navigate the complex emotions and situations that come with parenting a child struggling with mental health challenges. It’s about learning to reattune and connect with your child, understand what they need and what is going on underneath the challenging behaviors.
Key benefits of my parenting support therapy in Colorado include:
Understanding your child’s mental health: Get a clearer picture of what’s happening with your child, and learn how to approach their mental health struggles from a place of compassion and understanding.
Learning effective coping strategies: Develop practical techniques to manage your own emotions while supporting your child in coping with theirs.
Gaining emotional support for yourself: Parenting a child with mental health issues can take a toll on your own well-being. Therapy gives you the space to process your emotions and get the support you need.
Building stronger bonds: Strengthen your relationship with your child by improving communication, understanding their needs, and setting appropriate boundaries.
Increasing confidence: No more second-guessing yourself or feeling like you’re failing. Parenting support therapy can help you feel more confident in your role as a parent, even when things are tough.
Who can benefit from this type of support?
I specialize in supporting parents who are struggling to navigate their child’s mental health, whether your child is dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral challenges, or other concerns. Parenting support therapy provides the guidance and tools you need to feel confident in your parenting and helping your child. However, ANY caregiver feeling lost, overwhelmed, or unsure about how to support their child can benefit. This support is also valuable for parents who have experienced childhood trauma or are dealing with their own mental health challenges. Many parents initially seek help for parenting support but soon realize they also need to process their own experiences and trauma.
