Working With Mom and Dad
At Mom and Dad’s Place, we offer more than just parenting support — we provide support for parents. This is a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where parents gain valuable tools to navigate the challenges of raising children, particularly spirited ones. Through psychoeducation, therapy, and conscious parenting strategies, we help parents better understand their child’s unique perspective, fostering empathy, connection, and more harmonious relationships. Our approach encourages parents to drop old conditioning and reactive patterns, and instead parent with clarity, confidence, and calm. Say goodbye to yelling, bedtime battles, and screen-time conflicts — and hello to cooperative communication and emotional attunement. In addition to parenting guidance, we support the parents as individuals. We offer individual therapy to help moms and dads manage stress, anxiety, or depression, and promote self-care practices that replenish rather than drain. Parents learn to recognize early signs of burnout, communicate effectively, and use challenges as growth opportunities. We also offer couples counseling to strengthen the partnership at the core of the family, helping parents work as a united team — not as good cop/bad cop — and create a balanced, supportive home where everyone can thrive.

Parenting: Reward And Discipline
Rethinking Parenting: Connection Over Control
Parenting isn’t one-size-fits-all. Every parent brings their own story, values, and hopes into how they raise their children. That’s why giving advice can feel tricky—it’s personal.
But here’s something to consider: What kind of future adult do you want your child to become? Start there. Work toward that vision every day with positive, respectful, and consistent communication—without resorting to blackmail, bribes, or punishment.
Children thrive when they feel seen, heard, and respected. When you raise them with empathy and firmness, you’re building more than discipline—you’re building trust.
