Parents

Parents come to therapy because they care deeply, and sometimes feel like they can’t take another minute of the chaos.

You want to support your child without constant power struggles, second-guessing, or walking on eggshells.

Amy helps parents understand what’s really driving behavior, then builds clear, practical tools that create real change.

This isn’t about blame. It’s about insight, structure, and momentum.

Who it’s for

Amy works with parents navigating:

  • Big emotions at home

  • Power struggles or shutdowns

  • Anxiety, meltdowns, or overwhelm

  • Friendship or school challenges

  • Neurodiversity or learning differences

  • Transitions, family changes, or grief

  • Feeling unsure of what’s “normal”

  • Wanting to parent with more confidence and clarity

  • Wanting to feel like you again, not just the manager of everyone else’s emotions

  • Carrying the mental load alone

Inside the session

  • Parent sessions are practical, structured, and focused on solutions

  • We look at patterns - what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what to do next

  • Sessions are 45 minutes

You’ll leave with:

  • Clear language to use in hard moments

  • Regulation tools for you and your child

  • Scripts for boundaries that feel calm and confident

  • A step-by-step action plan
