Parent Consultations

Parenting is the most commonplace, yet the most complex experience. Parent Consultations provide any parent of an infant or young child with a professional parent consultant who will provide guidance, information, skills, resources and support for one time or throughout the early parenting journey.

Families today are faced with complicated pressures. The stresses and demands in family life are increasing.

We can help parents:

• Understand and manage a developmental milestone
• Deal with challenging experiences
• Recognize situations that push hot buttons

Specific Strategies
We are a resource when parents wonder why a child's behavior is changing and how to cope with that change. Our staff provides perspective to help each parent best understand the parent-child dynamic and specific strategies to help the parent deal with the situation or behavior.

For over ten years we have been customizing our consultations in order to help each parent best navigate uncharted waters. Issues such as control, communication, discipline and self-esteem are among the many areas that parents choose to share and explore.

Trained Parent Educators
Our Parent Consultants are trained parent educators, social workers and psychologists with backgrounds in child development, parent development and family support.

A Personal Approach
Each family determines the number and schedule of visits. We recognize that every situation is unique, and so we design our consultations to meet each family's individual need.
