PARENT COACHING & SUPPORT

---

Parents can change the dynamics of how they relate with their children through coaching from a therapist. Our experienced counselors help you be the change you want in your family dynamic. Your decisions about what words, tone and messages you send shift the relationship you have with your child. You can decide what to focus on and how to be the kind of parent you want to be with help. 

Children can be our greatest love and greatest frustration at the same time.  Sometimes we wonder how our children came to be this way, and sometimes it is painfully clear that we have a lot to do with how they are living in the world. You may not be able to change your child, but you can decide how you wan to interact with them. 

The counselors at Family Matters have lived life experience to help you see your way through your situation. Talking with someone who has been there before can make all the difference. Parenting is challenging, especially when you're dealing with difficult behaviors, family transitions, or co-parenting after divorce. Our therapists understand these struggles from both professional and personal experience, and we're here to help you navigate them.

Some of the counselors at Family Matters also work with parents ordered by the court system to work with a psychotherapist to improve parenting skills and increase cooperation between parents. We can meet online or in-person to help you find ways to make good decisions that put your children first and keep your boundaries.  

We affirm your child's identity ,and we support you navigating family dynamics with understanding and acceptance. Children grow up in ways that can surprise us, and using therapy as a resource along the way is a great decision. Our counselors with experience and expertise are here to help you find your way to the life that fits for you and your children. Lesbian parents in particular have found  support at Family Matters.
