Parent Support Therapy
Selective Mutism
It can be both frustrating and confusing to see your child speak comfortably at home but struggle to find their voice at school or in social settings. You may wonder why they can talk freely with family yet become silent when teachers or classmates ask a question. Selective mutism is not just extreme shyness—it is an anxiety-driven condition that makes speaking in certain situations feel impossible for your child.
Through Parent Support Therapy, I help parents understand selective mutism and implement evidence-based strategies to build their child’s confidence, reduce anxiety, and encourage communication in different environments. These sessions are designed exclusively for parents—children do not attend. By equipping caregivers with the right tools and guidance, this approach empowers parents to support their child’s progress in everyday life.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
When a child struggles with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), it doesn’t just affect them—it can take over the entire household. Daily routines may revolve around avoiding triggers, providing constant reassurance, or accommodating rituals to prevent distress.
Parent Support Therapy provides guidance and evidence-based strategies to help parents respond effectively to OCD related behaviors. By learning how to reduce accommodations, set healthy boundaries, and support gradual exposure to fears, parents play a key role in their child’s progress. These sessions are designed specifically for parents—children do not attend. The focus is on equipping caregivers with the tools needed to help their child manage anxiety, build resilience, and regain a sense of control over their household.
Parenting Challenges
Parenting comes with its own unique set of challenges, often leaving you emotionally, mentally, and physically drained. You give so much of yourself—your time, energy, and patience—yet it can feel like there’s little left for you. It’s easy to feel stretched thin, struggling to balance responsibilities while simply wanting to be present with your child without the stress, frustration, or exhaustion getting in the way.
Parent Support Therapy helps you navigate these challenges with greater ease. By learning to set boundaries, manage stress, and create a more balanced dynamic, you can foster a stronger parent-child bond while also prioritizing your own well-being.
