Get help navigating parenthood with your children
Parenting is a journey filled with joy, love, and immense challenges. Whether you’re a parent of a toddler, a teenager, or somewhere in between, navigating the ups and downs of raising children can be overwhelming. At My Denver Therapy in Greenwood Village, we understand the unique pressures parents face today. We offer compassionate and effective parent counseling services designed to empower you and strengthen your family bonds.
How parent counseling can help
Most parents will tell you that parenting isn’t easy. It’s natural to experience a wide range of emotions, from the exhilaration of watching your child achieve a milestone to the frustration of dealing with difficult behaviors.
Single parents and divorced parents often face additional hurdles, juggling multiple responsibilities and navigating co-parenting relationships. You might find yourself questioning your parenting skills or searching for advice on “good parenting.” Know that you’re not alone. These feelings are common, and seeking support is a sign of strength.
Parent counseling at My Denver Therapy offers a safe and supportive space for you to explore your parenting experiences, both the joys and the struggles. Our experienced therapists will listen empathetically, ask thoughtful questions, and help you gain a deeper understanding of your role within your family.
Whether you’re facing specific challenges like separation, empty nest syndrome, mental health concerns, or simply seeking to improve your parenting skills, we can help.
Understand your parenting style
Your parenting style plays a significant role in how you interact with your children. We can help you identify your current style and explore how it impacts your family dynamics. Common parenting styles include:
- Authoritarian: Emphasizes rules and obedience.
- Authoritative: Balances firm limits with empathy and understanding.
- Permissive: Lacks consistent rules and expectations.
- Uninvolved: Provides basic needs but remains emotionally distant.
Our therapists can guide you in developing more effective parenting strategies, particularly focusing on the benefits of authoritative parenting, which research suggests fosters healthy child development.
What to expect from parent counseling
Parent counseling sessions at My Denver Therapy are tailored to your specific needs and concerns. We may explore:
- Family Dynamics: Understanding how factors like family structure, cultural background, and life transitions impact your parenting.
- Child Development: Gaining insights into your child’s developmental stage and how it relates to their behavior.
- Communication Skills: Learning effective communication techniques to manage conflict and build stronger relationships.
- Explaining Decisions: Developing strategies for explaining your parenting decisions to your children in a way they understand.
- Supporting Mental Health: Addressing your own mental well-being as a parent, as well as learning how to support your child’s emotional health.
Other specialities
Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you – all of the expectations, all of the beliefs – and becoming who you are.
