Parent coaching at The Center for Cognitive Therapy and Assessment offers numerous benefits for parents and kids, including:
Dealing with temper tantrums and other behavioral problems can take a toll on your mental health and cause frustration or anger.
The experts at The Center for Cognitive Therapy and Assessment discuss you and your children’s mental health history to find out if parent coaching is right for you and your family. They often complete a psychiatric assessment to evaluate the mental health of you and your family members.
You may have added stress that contributes to poor parent and child relationships because of an overly busy schedule, the pressures of homeschooling, financial troubles, or other common stresses of everyday life.
If your child has coexisting conditions, their psychologist could recommend more than one type of therapy.
During parent coaching at The Center for Cognitive Therapy and Assessment, which you can complete via virtual telehealth appointments if you’d like, you meet with a licensed clinician.
They ask questions about your child’s behavior, habits, and lifestyle, as well as your parenting style. They teach you ways to best cope with behavioral issues in kids, your reaction to these issues, and anxiety that you might be dealing with.
