Individual Child Counseling

Grocery shopping is a nightmare.

HEB – another trip to the grocery and another tantrum from your child as your face flushes red with embarrassment.

All eyes focus on you, the mother with the unruly child. “Why can’t she control that child?” you hear them say as you frantically try to get her to stop.

You know they must think you are a terrible mother, and you feel like you probably are.

You’re at your wits’ end!

Tips you saw on Instagram and advice from your mom don’t work. The few skills you gathered from that book you can’t find time to finish fails to make a difference. Nothing is working! Your child is out of control!

You’re not sure you like your child anymore – you love her, but it is hard to like her. Life with her is challenging, especially when other parents enjoy their young children. Feeling more joy with your child is something you long to experience.

Seeing those positive experiences other parents have with their children makes you wonder. “What are they doing better than I? What went wrong that makes our interactions so negative?” The hitting, screaming, and defying are exhausting!

“Will my child always be like this? Will I ever enjoy being her mother?” You wonder if there is more you could do or if your child needs “fixing” in some way. Continuing along this path sounds like a miserable way to spend the next decade, and you worry about what she will be like as a teenager if things continue like they are now.

There is a better way forward.

Let me walk with you and your child into a brighter future. Through play therapy, she can heal any traumatic events that may lead to her misbehavior. She can learn better skills for interacting with others, expressing herself, and regulating her emotions.

Through our work together, we can troubleshoot solutions for parent-child interactions to make positive interactions outweigh the painful ones. You can enjoy your child again! Then, you can take her out in public without constant fear of embarrassment or judgment.

Help her now so she can thrive in the future, and you can enjoy these years with your child!

There is no reason to do this alone. Together, we can make a difference in your child’s life while eliminating the uncertainty you feel. Contact me today!
