What is parenting support therapy?

Parenting support therapy is individual therapy with a focus on the specific stresses, identity questions, and relational challenges that arise in the context of parenting. It's not parenting classes or behavioral coaching — it's clinical work that addresses what's happening in the parent, not just the parent-child relationship.

Who this is for

Parents who are depleted, overwhelmed, or anxious in ways that feel disproportionate to what's in front of them. Parents navigating major transitions — a new child, a child's diagnosis, a child leaving home. Parents dealing with co-parenting conflict after separation or divorce. Parents who have noticed that their own mental health is affecting their ability to show up the way they want to. Parents who grew up in difficult families and are worried about repeating patterns they experienced.

Parenting support is also appropriate for couples navigating conflict around parenting — different philosophies, different stress tolerance, different levels of involvement. That work can happen in individual therapy or in couples sessions.

How we work

Parenting support therapy focuses on the parent as an individual — not just their role. That means addressing the anxiety, the perfectionism, the burnout, or the identity loss that often underlies parenting distress. It also means building a more conscious relationship with the patterns from your own upbringing that are showing up in how you parent.

What to Expect

What happens when you reach out

1

Schedule a free consultation

A quick call or email so we can hear what’s going on and answer your questions. Then we’ll match you with the therapist who fits best. No cost, no commitment.

2

Schedule directly with your therapist

From there, your therapist reaches out personally to get you set up on our client portal and book your first session. Going forward, you’ll work directly with your therapist, not a call center or front desk.

3

Begin treatment

Start working with your therapist, in person in Northbrook or online. The first few sessions are for getting to know each other and understanding what you want to work on.
