In-person Sessions
Meet in a calm, private space to work through parenting stress, burnout, identity conflicts and the emotional weight of caring for others.
Virtual Sessions
Get support from home while you navigate the day to day challenges of parenting, including boundaries, co parenting, and feeling stretched thin.
Parenting therapy provides a space to slow down and discuss openly what you are experiencing. You might be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, reactive, disconnected, guilty, or unsure of how to handle specific challenges with your child. Many parents also find that old family patterns show up more intensely once they become caregivers, often bringing painful feelings towards their own parents to the surface.
At Rae Therapy Group, you can expect a supportive space to help you make sense of what is happening at home and within yourself. Together, we will explore triggers, strengthen boundaries, improve communication, and build practical ways to respond rather than react. The goal is not perfect parenting, but more steadiness, clarity, and connection for you and your family. If you are raising neurodivergent children, we have personal and professional experience navigating the complexities of getting support for your child, while understanding the intense burnout, grief, and loneliness you might be experiencing.
Parenting therapy offers more than advice or parenting tips. It gives you a containing place to process complex feelings towards your child and/or partner, reduce overwhelm, and understand what is being triggered in you as a caregiver. Over time, many parents feel more grounded, less reactive, and more confident in their responses to challenging moments. Parent clients find deeper healing in reclaiming parts of their identity that they lost when becoming a parent, and healing their own inner-child wounds that resurfaced while parenting a child.
Therapy can also improve communication and connection within the family. Together, we can explore recurring patterns, strengthen boundaries, and create a clearer plan for co-parenting, discipline, and emotional support. Many people notice less guilt, more patience, and a greater ability to show up for their children while still taking care of themselves.

Parenting therapy can help if you feel overwhelmed, reactive, burned out, or stuck in the same conflicts at home. If parenting is affecting your sleep, mood, relationship, or sense of confidence, therapy can offer support and clarity without judgment.

Our approach to therapy does not involve telling you what to do, but includes a deeper exploration of the relational dynamics that are not working for you at home. We work collaboratively to understand your relationship with your child, to identify what is being triggered in you, and to process often complex feelings around parenting.

Parenting therapy can be very supportive for parents of neurodivergent children who require extra care and constant advocation in systems that were not built to support them. Therapy can help you manage your own stress and overwhelm, and provide you with the support, care and space you are lacking in your life as you tend to others.
