My Approach
I have over 15 years of working with kids, teens, and families. We don’t experience our emotions without impacting or being impacted by our loved ones around us. It has become increasingly important to support not only the young person but their family. So, while the sessions are for your young person, there will likely be times where I met individually with all parents to support your entire family. Parenting is difficult. The reality of raising children is that as they grow, the ways we parent sometimes must change. To throw real curve balls, potentially we need to use different parenting styles with different children! Raising kids can also show us areas of our own childhood that could have been different or things that we miss. Having someone to talk through different parenting styles or techniques can be helpful.
Here at Take Space, we work from a family-based approach. Everybody in a family is important and impact on each other. Therefore, while some of our work may be with one person, we also will work with different family members to support growth and development of the family overall. This might require all parents to attend at some time.
If you’re child’s teacher has suggested getting in touch with for support, you’ve taken a great step.
