Parenting involves balancing multiple roles—caregiver, teacher, and guide—while managing your own emotions and responsibilities. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed, especially when dealing with behavioral issues, communication breakdowns, or the complexities of raising a child with special needs.
Our family therapy and parenting support services provide the practical tools and compassionate guidance you need to navigate these challenges with confidence.
Family therapy and parenting support can be transformative for families experiencing:
Behavioral Challenges: Struggling to manage tantrums, anxiety, or defiance in children that disrupt family harmony.
Communication Barriers: Difficulties in understanding each other, frequent arguments, or feeling disconnected.
Parenting Children with Special Needs: Navigating the complexities of raising a child with ADHD, autism, or learning disabilities.
Parental Burnout: Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure about how to handle parenting challenges effectively.
Family Transitions: Managing changes such as divorce, remarriage, or the arrival of a new sibling, which can affect your child’s behavior and emotional well-being.
At Weston Family Psychology, we offer evidence-based, personalized programs that focus on strengthening family bonds and improving the parent-child relationship. Our tailored approach addresses the unique dynamics of your family, providing you with strategies that work. Specialized Programs We Offer:
Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) Treatment: Developed by Eli Leibowitz, SPACE treatment empowers parents to make changes that support their child’s recovery from anxiety, OCD, or related issues. Rather than focusing on the child’s behavior, SPACE teaches parents how to respond supportively and reduce accommodations that may reinforce anxiety.
Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS): Created by Dr. Ross Greene, CPS is a non-punitive approach to managing challenging behaviors in children and teens. This model emphasizes collaboration, empathy, and problem-solving, guiding families to address the root causes of behavioral issues together. Key steps include understanding lagging skills, defining unsolved problems, and working collaboratively to find solutions that work for everyone.
Our family therapy sessions are designed to empower parents and foster a positive family environment. Here’s how we help:
Initial Assessment: We begin by understanding your family’s unique challenges and goals. This comprehensive assessment helps us tailor our approach to fit your specific needs, providing a clear path forward.
Developing a Plan: Based on the assessment, we create a personalized plan that targets key areas of concern, such as communication issues, behavioral challenges, or parenting stress. Our interventions are evidence-based and designed to create lasting change.
Ongoing Support and Adjustments: As therapy progresses, we work closely with you to address emerging challenges, celebrate successes, and refine the plan as needed. Our goal is to provide continuous support that empowers your family to grow stronger together.
