Parent Coaching

Transformative Therapy offers parent coaching services to specifically target supporting parents in navigating the ups and downs of parenthood specifically in the adolescent and young adult years. Parent coaching can be a helpful resource to learning how to make changes in your parenting approach to positively impact your child’s behavior and improve the parent/child relationship.

Family Therapy

Utilizing a family systems framework, I provide families with a space to safely navigate challenging conversations to address underlying issues within the family, identify problematic patterns, and collaboratively explore changes to improve the overall health and well being of the family. There are many causes that bring people to family therapy and the goals and treatment approach are designed to meet each family’s unique needs.

Why Online Therapy?

Online therapy offers a personalized and accessible path for individuals seeking mental health support. One of its most appealing aspects is the chance to connect with a licensed therapist right from the comfort of your home. This ease of access can significantly lower the hurdles to getting help, especially for those managing busy lives or mobility limitations.

Through methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), clients can explore their inner thoughts and feelings, focusing on altering negative thought patterns during engaging video or chat sessions. Incorporating mindfulness practices into the online format allows clients to engage in stress-relief techniques and cultivate emotional balance in the moment.

Additionally, the anonymity offered by online therapy fosters a sense of safety and openness, which can be particularly beneficial for individuals facing anxiety or social phobias. Many clients report that they find it easier to articulate their thoughts and feelings when they feel less vulnerable.

Ultimately, online therapy eliminates geographical limitations and accommodates personal lifestyles, presenting a valuable resource for growth and recovery. By embracing this method, individuals can achieve significant progress and lasting transformation in their mental health.
