Supporting Parents

You’re not on the sidelines of your child’s therapy.

Most parents arrive having already tried a great deal. The goal here isn’t to hand you a new list of things you should be doing — it’s to make sense of what’s happening, and give you responses that hold up on a hard evening.

What Changes at Home

Because supporting your child starts with supporting the relationship around them.

Practical strategies

Tools and ideas for the moments that repeat — mornings, homework, bedtime, the drive home after a challenging day.

Understanding Behaviour

Looking beneath the behaviour to understand what your child may be feeling, needing, or trying to communicate.

Communication & connection

Helping you stay connected through the hard moments and strengthening the relationship that matters most.

How parent support fits alongside your child’s sessions.

An intake conversation with you first

Before your child begins, Kristen wants your view of the history, the worries, and what you’ve already tried.

Regular check-ins as therapy progresses

Short, focused updates on themes and skills — never a transcript of what your child said in confidence.

Dedicated parent sessions when they’re useful

Time set aside for you alone, to work through a specific challenge or plan a change at home.

“The goal isn’t simply to make difficult feelings disappear. It’s to help a young person understand them — and to help you feel less alone in the meantime.”
