Parent Training is a structured program that teaches parents and caregivers how to manage their
child’s behavior. It is used to reduce unwanted behavior, such as defiance and tantrums, and to
develop desirable behavior, such as social skills and emotional self-control.
Parent Training is used to address the following behavioral issues:
• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)
• Anger Issues and Emotional Regulation
• Sibling and Family Issues
• Social Skills Problems
• Low Self-Esteem
• Fears and Phobias
• School Avoidance
• Eating and Sleeping Problems
• Potty Training Issues
• Other Behavioral Problems
Parent Training includes setting clear and consistent limits, implementing effective discipline
strategies, and enhancing communication within the family. By addressing the specific needs of
each child and family, we promote positive behavior, healthy child development, and a more
harmonious and supportive home environment.
Supportive Counseling for Parents
Parenting a child with behavioral difficulties can be enormously stressful. Fortunately, help is
available. Parents who are experiencing anxiety, depression, frustration, and relationship
problems may benefit from the following therapy and counseling approaches:
Supportive Psychotherapy
Supportive Psychotherapy
Supportive Psychotherapy focuses on giving parents the emotional support they need to cope
with the stress of raising a child with behavioral difficulties. The therapist encourages parents to
talk about their feelings, concerns, and problems in a safe, nonjudgmental environment.
Supportive Psychotherapy has been found to be helpful to parents who are experiencing
frustration, anxiety, and depression.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a highly regarded treatment that helps parents identify
and change maladaptive thought patterns in order to cope more effectively with the stress of
parenting a child with emotional or behavioral issues.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches parents specific skills to cope with anxiety,
depression, and problems of daily living. This approach helps parents commit to making
necessary changes in their behavior, regardless of what is going on in their lives and how they
feel about it.
Mindfulness Training
Mindfulness Training is a mental health and meditation approach that enables parents to relax
and let go of negative thoughts and feelings. Attention is focused on thoughts, emotions, and
sensations occurring at the current moment in an accepting and nonjudgmental manner. The
meditation aspect of Mindfulness Training may be helpful to parents who suffer from anxiety,
depression, panic attacks, high blood pressure, and sleep problems.
Relaxation Training
Relaxation Training is a type of behavior therapy that helps parents reach a state of calmness. It
may reduce anxiety and stress, lower blood pressure, and control pain. Examples of relaxation
techniques include learning how to relax muscles throughout the body, focusing the mind on
positive images, meditation, and deep breathing exercises.
Marriage and Couples Counseling
Parenting a child with learning or behavioral difficulties often leads to significant problems in
relationships. Marriage and couples counseling helps parents learn to communicate more
effectively, resolve conflicts, and provide emotional support to each other.
Family Therapy
Parenting a child with developmental and behavioral problems can be stressful to the entire
family. In Family Therapy, the nature of the child’s behavioral issues are explained and
discussed, and family members are taught specific ways of helping the child and supporting each
other.
