Being responsible for children comes with a great deal of pressure and countless challenges. Parents who are struggling may seek counseling to help them work through their issues.
Available Treatment Options
Therapy serves as a safe space for parents to open up about their concerns regarding their parenting skills and their children. A counselor may address unhelpful thoughts with parents and work on cognitive techniques that expand how the parent thinks about themselves.
If specific behavioral issues leave parents concerned about their child, a therapist or counseling professional specializing in children may teach the parents disciplinary skills and communication techniques or suggest activities that the family can engage in.

Walking into a counselor's office can be a difficult first step to problem resolution. I begin by having the client describe the immediate issue and some background. Then, we set goals and methods-some of which are concrete, e.g., developing a habit of exercise and modes of coping. Addressing relationship issues is often simply a matter of helping an individual ask him or herself, "What do I ne...
