Parenting

The goal of parent coaching is to get perspective on conflict or issues arising between parent/caregiver and child, or issues in the child’s behavior, working from the parent/caregiver’s perspective. Lydia is not a parent herself but has worked with children and adolescents for over 10 years and is passionate about bridging communication gaps within families.

Parent coaching sessions are held without the child present. Together we review aspects of the conflict, the child’s behavior, and/or imbalance within the dynamic to gain understanding of what is at the root. Over time, suggestions for adjustment will be offered. Parent/caregiver sessions can happen alongside individual therapy with the child. If necessary, we may also bring the child into sessions with the parent/caregiver for family therapy.
