We get parenthood.
There are hundreds of books on parenting anxious kids — and plenty of general advice on compliance, screen time, sleep, and connection. But none of it is written for your child, your family, or your specific situation.
That's where working with a parenting therapist makes all the difference. Our therapists specialize in the particular challenges that come with raising an anxious child — or just the hard, everyday work of being a parent. We'll make sure you find the right fit.
Parenting brings up a lot. A parenting therapist can help.

The best thing you can do for your kids is to heal yourself
Have you ever wondered what would have happened if your parents had gone to therapy? Here’s how parenting counseling can help you avoid the same pitfalls as your parents:
Your first session
In your first session, a parenting therapist will evaluate what’s going on for you, and create a personalized, goal-oriented plan to help.
Evidence-based treatments
Come back for regular sessions with your therapist, either in Houston or therapy online. We’ll use methods based on evidence-based practices, like CBT, Parent Management Training, Parent Child Interaction Therapy, and SPACE, to help you be the best parent you can be while balancing your needs with your child’s.
Support & freedom
As you use the techniques and strategies we show you, the pressures of being a parent begin to feel lighter. Your relationship and communication with your child will improve and you will find yourself overwhelmed less and connecting more.
Our goal is to get you out of therapy and into living freely — like you truly deserve!
The “perfect parent” doesn’t exist…
But you can be whole, healed, and present. And that’s the next best thing.
Therapy for parents is something we recommend for any mom or dad. Whether you’ve had your first baby and you’re feeling incredibly overwhelmed, or you’re struggling to parent difficult teenagers, or anything in between, parenting therapy can be a much-needed lifeline.
