Ashley Sutherland
“As a parent or caregiver, your instinct is to help your child when you see them struggling. Sometimes, however, a child’s emotions and behavior might feel confusing, frustrating, or upsetting, and it can be difficult to know how to offer the support they need. I provide parent coaching at the end of every therapy session so that you’re able to regularly gain insights into your child’s inner world and discover how to confidently guide them through their challenges.
If you are wanting additional support outside of your child’s individual sessions, please contact me to discuss setting up sessions specifically for you, where you can explore parenting challenges, develop co-regulation strategies to use with your child, and learn about SPT concepts in more depth as they relate to parenting. Reach out and get the support you need by contacting me here.” – Ashley
Kelly Miller
“I offer parent coaching to support and enhance the therapeutic process for children I’m working with in individual therapy. Meaningful change within a family system takes time, effort, and dedication. My parent coaching focuses on helping you better understand what your child is processing in the playroom, while also providing you with psychoeducation to develop new parenting skills. The goal is for you to heal alongside your child. If you're interested in adding parent coaching to your child’s therapy, please feel free to reach out.” – Kelly
