Parent & Child

Parent child therapy Pasadena using EFT (emotionally focused therapy) and Parent Coaching leads to children listening

Parenting is the most important job in the world, and it's hard.  You want the best for your child.  You want them to listen to you.  You want a happy, peaceful home.  You've tried the overwhelming and sometimes conflicting advice out there, coming from experts who don't actually know you or your child.  But it's not working.  Here's why:  Your relationship is unique.  One size does not fit all.  We combine parenting support with child therapy in a unique way, focusing on building up your relationship so that you no longer need us to address challenging behaviors.  The behaviors will change as your relationship changes.

We can help with:

  • Parenting Neurodivergent Children

  • Single Parenting

  • Adoptive Parenting

  • Arguments

  • Power Struggles

  • Transitions

  • Anger Expression

You deserve the strong, beautiful, peaceful relationship with your child that you long for.  We can help.  We use tools from EFFT (Emotionally Focused Family Therapy), a branch of EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems), PCIT (Parent Child Interaction Therapy), and Attachment Based Play Therapy and Gestalt Play Therapy to renew and rewire your connection. 

We also use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help process trauma that may be causing conflict and difficult behaviors.  Sometimes talking is not enough.  We can help bodies, young and old, move through difficulties so they can reconnect.
