Understanding Your Family
Emma asks about the people, routines, and pressures in your family. Sessions recognize that parenting happens within real constraints, not an ideal set of circumstances.

This May Sound Familiar
You do not need every one of these to benefit from therapy. One is enough.
- Feeling caught between patience and exhaustion
- Disagreeing with a partner about parenting
- Wanting to respond differently from the way you were raised
How Emma works
What therapy looks like here
Communication and Emotions
DBT skills can support discussion of strong emotions and needs. Couples work may draw on Gottman-informed tools to explore conversations between parenting partners.
Space for Different Perspectives
Family work can include how each person experiences conflict or change. Emma collaborates with you on goals and discusses which session format may fit your family.
You do not need to be a perfect parent to ask for support. Contact the intake team to discuss individual, couples, or family sessions.
Parenting concerns can intersect with attention needs, partnership, and separation. Related pages include ADHD (Children and Families), Relationships, and Divorce.
