Parenting Support Sessions
In these sessions, we often cover..
Sleep issues | School avoidance | Recurring meltdowns | Divorce transitions | Highly sensitive kids | Power struggles | Backtalk & defiance | Morning routine chaos | Chore resistance
These sessions provide intentional, practical support for busy couples. Parenting is full of big feelings, developmental shifts, school stress, peer dynamics, sports pressure, power struggles.
Parenting Support sessions are designed to help you as a couple in navigating it all in a way that aligns with your individual & parenting values.
Parenting Support for Couples with Kiddos Ages 3-12.
What is Parenting Support?
Parenting Support is a space where we focus on:
-
Helping support kids with big feelings
-
Reducing power struggles and reactive cycles
-
Navigating anxiety, meltdowns, or shutdowns
-
Building connection while holding boundaries
-
Supporting developmentally appropriate expectations
-
Strengthening your confidence as a parent
-
Getting on the same page with parenting values
Who is this for?
This is a good fit if:
-
You want practical insights over long-term therapy
-
Your child is struggling with emotional regulation
-
You feel stuck in repetitive conflict cycles
-
You’re second-guessing your responses
-
You want to parent in a way that aligns with your values, not just how you were raised or parenting self-help culture
This work is collaborative. The couple brings expert knowledge on their family, and I bring developmental knowledge, experience as a teacher, and family/child therapist.
How much does Parenting Support cost and how does it work?
-
Sessions are 50 minutes and $125/session.
-
The sessions are focused on clear challenges you're currently having with your kiddo(s) or issues that arise between the two of you as a parenting team.
-
Most families do best with weekly sessions for 4-6 weeks, then taper off to check-ins or sessions as needed, as things pop up.
Do you offer in-person or online sessions?
I see couples for Parenting Support in-person at my Carlsbad office at 2945 Harding St. and telehealth sessions over zoom for couples.
