Parent Consultation in Austin, TX

  • Parenting is hard. There is no one-size-fits-all guidebook. Most parents who come to my office have already tried multiple parenting approaches and are doing all the "right things," but they are still having daily struggles with their child. Maybe your child's anxiety is impacting everyone in the home. Maybe you're missing time just enjoying your child because you have to spend all your time correcting behavior or saying "no." Maybe you're the parent who wants to connect with your child and build a different kind of relationship than you knew growing up. Maybe your family is going through a hard time and you want to know what to do to support your child.

    Whatever brings you in, you are not alone. Parent consultation is a judgment-free zone where you get to talk through your unique circumstance and collaborate together to find approaches that work, are sustainable, and create better connections in your family. Parent consultation is not therapy for the parent — rather, it is centered around strategies to support your child, and the family as a whole.

    Parent consultation is often a great starting point for families of children younger than 7, or for any parent who wants to build skills and strategies before — or without — bringing their child into individual therapy. I draw on approaches like the Nurtured Heart Approach, Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE), Positive Discipline, Collaborative and Proactive Solutions, along with emotion coaching, tailored to your child's individual temperament and needs — whether that's a highly sensitive temperament, anxiety, OCD, or big emotional reactions.

    Every relationship starts with a consult call, so we can talk through your specific situation and make sure it feels like the right fit before moving forward.

    Parent consultation can help with:

    • Anxious or worried children

    • Highly sensitive children

    • Children with big emotional reactions or meltdowns

    • OCD — intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors

    • Parent-child connection and communication

    • Building sustainable, consistent parenting strategies

    I offer both in-person sessions at my Austin, TX office and virtual sessions for families across Texas.

    If you're wondering whether parent consultation is the right fit for your family, I'd love to talk it through with you on a consult call.
