Parenting Therapy
Do you find yourself frequently questioning your parenting choices or wondering if you're doing enough?
✓ Do you wish you could respond to your child’s needs with more calm, understanding, and confidence, but feel overwhelmed by your own emotional reactions?
✓ Are you experiencing frustration or conflict with your child, especially when it comes to discipline, emotional regulation, or behavior management?
✓ Do you feel uncertain about how to support your child through emotional challenges, or how to foster independence while maintaining a strong connection?
Parenting is both a deeply rewarding and challenging experience. When your child’s behavior triggers your own emotional wounds, it can be difficult to show up as the parent you want to be. These reactions often stem from unresolved issues in your own past, making it harder to respond with empathy and emotional clarity. At Soul Centered Therapy, we help you heal those old wounds while also supporting you in developing a parenting philosophy that aligns with your values and creates a solid foundation for your relationship with your child.
You don’t have to parent from a
place of uncertainty and reactivity
It’s common for parents to feel overwhelmed when their child’s behavior brings up difficult emotions from their own past. Whether it’s unresolved trauma, childhood experiences, or old beliefs about parenting, these emotional triggers can cause a disconnection between you and your child, leaving you feeling confused or unsure of how to proceed.
At Soul Centered Therapy, we offer a holistic approach to parenting that combines emotional healing with a deep understanding of child development. By healing your emotional wounds and grounding your responses in the latest research on the developing brain, we help you connect with your child in a way that supports their growth while building a strong, empathetic relationship. Our approach integrates the work of leading child development experts like Daniel Siegel, Tina Payne Bryson, Shefali Tsabary, Kent Hoffman, and Rudolph Dreikurs to guide you in identifying and applying a parenting philosophy that works for your family.
How Therapy Can Help with Parenting Issues
Parenting isn’t just about managing behavior—it’s about building a strong, healthy connection with your child and fostering emotional, cognitive, and social development.
