Parenting Support

Parenting can be such a rewarding and fulfilling experience. Having a child with special needs is an experience that not everyone can understand or appreciate. We can feel isolated, exhausted, and depressed. Our relationships and careers may suffer.

Counseling with someone who "gets it" can help us feel supported and understood. We may need to learn more about how to get information and resources, or how to navigate the systems (medical, special ed, etc). We may need to build a better support system and learn more self care and coping skills.

Play therapy for children is also available. For a child who is "different" play therapy can provide an opportunity to express and work through their emotions with a trained professional to guide them. The 1:1 relationship in play therapy offers a unique opportunity for the child to increase their self esteem and validate their experience.
