Parenting is one of the most meaningful—and most challenging—roles we take on. Whether you're raising toddlers, tweens, or teens, it's completely normal to feel overwhelmed, unsure, or stuck at times.

At WellHome Psychology, we offer individualized Parenting Support to help you better understand your child's needs, build confidence in your parenting approach, and create a home environment that feels more connected, respectful, and manageable.

What Is Parenting Support?

Parenting Support is a collaborative, nonjudgmental process that helps you strengthen your relationship with your child while addressing behavioral, emotional, or developmental concerns. It's not about being a "perfect parent"—it's about finding what works for your unique child and family, and building on your strengths with proven strategies.

We work with parents, co-parents, step-parents, caregivers, and guardians who want to:

•  Reduce power struggles and emotional blow-ups
•  Understand their child's behavior and emotional needs
•  Learn how to set limits with compassion and consistency
•  Support their child through anxiety, trauma, or big transitions
•  Strengthen attachment and communication

What Can Parenting Support Help With?

We support families with a wide range of concerns, including:

•  Tantrums, aggression, or defiance
•  Anxiety and emotional sensitivity
•  Screen time struggles
•  Transitions like divorce, moving, or school changes
•  Sibling rivalry and family conflict
•  Co-parenting challenges
•  Trauma or loss impacting family dynamics
•  ADHD, autism, or other neurodevelopmental needs
•  Sleep, eating, or daily routine issues

Whether you're navigating early childhood, adolescence, or something in between—we're here to help.

Our Approach to Parenting Support

We tailor parenting support to your goals, values, and family structure. Our approach draws from several evidence-based models, including:

•  Structured Family Therapy – Clarifying roles, routines, and expectations
•  Narrative Therapy – Reframing the story of parenting and family identity
•  Solution-Focused Therapy – Focusing on what's already working
•  Emotionally Focused Approaches – Supporting connection, empathy, and co-regulation
•  Cognitive-Behavioral Strategies – Understanding the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors
•  Psychoeducation – Understanding child development, brain science, and parenting psychology
•  Positive Discipline & Parenting Solutions – Balancing firmness and warmth
•  Attachment-Based Work – Strengthening bonds and trust
•  Structured Problem Solving – Tackling recurring issues step-by-step
•  Strengths-Based Techniques – Building confidence in both parent and child
•  Role Play & Skill-Building – Practicing real-life conversations and responses

We also integrate community-based options when helpful—such as practicing parenting strategies in public places (e.g., stores, parks) or supporting parents as they coach their child through a real-world challenge.

What to Expect in Parenting Sessions

We start with a collaborative conversation to understand your current challenges, your child's temperament and needs, and what goals you hope to achieve. From there, sessions may include:

• Coaching and reflection on current strategies
•  Learning new parenting tools
•  Problem-solving through specific situations
•  Practicing language or approaches to try at home
•  Support with emotional regulation—for both you and your child

We respect your values and cultural background, and we aim to equip—not lecture—you. You'll leave sessions with clear takeaways and renewed confidence.

How Long Does Parenting Support Last?

Some parents come in for just a few sessions to troubleshoot a challenge; others choose more ongoing support as their child grows or as new challenges arise. Most parenting support ranges from 4–12 sessions, but we'll customize it based on your needs.
