Support When "Touchpoints" Cause Distress

Throughout our lives, there are various “touchpoints” that lead to change and upheaval of our inner lives. Often these times can become overwhelming to our psychological balance, causing emotional and behavioral distress, depression, anxiety and other symptoms that interfere with normal functioning. Parents are often confused and upset when their children display such distress. They often do not know what to do or whom to ask for help. The child and family art therapy approach at Parent to Child offers a child-friendly supportive venue for families to reconcile conflict, express difficult feelings and find more effective ways of communicating. Additionally, parent to child offers general counseling, consultation, therapy for children, teens and adults, and social skills groups.

Helping Parents to Help their Children...and Themselves

Our parenting courses, workshops and therapy focus on how the touchpoints along the family life cycle affect parents and caregivers. From the birth or adoption of a baby, through the milestones of the early years, into the challenges of school-age and beyond, parents struggle in their own development balancing their inner needs with the needs of their growing child/ren. We believe that an emotionally healthy parent, attuned to their child’s signals is the keystone to raising happy, resilient children. With an emphasis on postpartum support, couple’s communication and understanding infant and child development, our hope is to equip parents to stay grounded during this life-altering time and to tune into their young children in a loving way to foster attachment, attunement and healthy adaptation.
