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 build 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.

You’ll leave with:

  • Clear language to use in hard moments

  • Regulation tools for you and your child

  • Simple home routines that reduce chaos

  • Scripts for boundaries that feel calm and confident

  • A step-by-step action plan

This isn’t endless venting. It’s skill-building that shifts the dynamic at home.

Our approach

Amy blends:

  • Emotion coaching and co-regulation strategies

  • Behavior insight rooted in nervous system science

  • IAT-informed tools (thoughts, feelings, intentional actions)

  • Visual supports and structure when helpful

  • Collaboration with schools or care teams when needed

The focus is intentional action. Parents learn what to say, what to do, and how to stay steady, even when things get hard.

Common goals

Parents often come in hoping to:

  • Reduce meltdowns and power struggles

  • Build stronger communication

  • Create calmer, more predictable routines

  • Increase confidence in parenting decisions

  • Support emotional regulation

  • Help their child feel capable and understood

  • Remember who they are outside the chaos

Our goal is meaningful change, not dependency.

We help parents build skills they can carry forward, so home feels steadier, clearer, and more connected.
