Parenting sessions and family therapy will help you navigate the ups and downs of parenting. When you come to a Positive Discipline parent coaching session, you will leave with homework and a personalized action plan for your family. This part is more for the parents.

You will receive handouts, guidelines for family meetings, and inspiration to set consistent limits. Instead of letting kids push our parenting buttons, we need to push ourselves to model the behavior we wish to see. Here are two resources we will use: https://bit.ly/familymeetings2026 and https://sharingperspectives.com/2024/05/12/mistaken-goals-update-and-interventions/

In individual therapy for kids, I involve the parents when the child is younger. This therapy format is called co-joint family therapy. You can always schedule extra parenting sessions when your child is in therapy with me. The child maintains their confidentiality, but you get the support you need to help them develop and grow.

Depending on the issues, we will either keep your sessions totally confidential or involve your parents. I will assess over the first 3-4 sessions and inform everyone in the family of my advice regarding the structure of the work.

Here is my paperwork, which all people in therapy can read and ask questions about:
