Parenting Support
You love your kids more than anything.
But parenting, especially in this world, is exhausting in ways no one warned you about.
You snap when you don't want to.
You question every decision.
You lie awake at night wondering if you're doing enough, or too much, or if you're messing them up.
You're overstimulated, overtired, and constantly pulled in every direction.
And yet somehow, you're also lonely.
There are moments you miss the version of you that had freedom. Or fun. Or quiet.
And then comes the guilt.
Understanding Parenting Stress
Parenting Support in Connecticut
Parenting is a full-body, full-heart, full-nervous-system experience.
It brings up your past, pokes at your fears, and exposes every raw edge.
It's normal to feel:
-
Like you're doing everything and still falling short
-
Confused by your child's emotions, or your own
-
Triggered by things you thought you'd healed
-
Disconnected from your partner (or yourself)
-
Desperate for a break, but unsure how to take one
This isn't a failure.
It's what happens when you're holding too much with too little support.
Our Reflective, Relational Approach
Therapy is not about becoming a “perfect” parent.
It's about becoming a more present, regulated, and self-connected one.
In our work together, we:
-
Explore the parenting patterns you inherited. and decide what to keep or release
-
Work with your nervous system to increase regulation during hard moments
-
Understand your child's behavior through a trauma-informed, attachment-based lens
-
Support the parts of you that feel triggered, exhausted, or unseen
-
Build repair strategies so you stop spiraling after hard parenting days
Whether you're raising toddlers or teens, neurodivergent kids or strong-willed souls,
