We regularly consult, provide support, and offer guidance to the parents of the children & adolescents that we see for individual therapy. That said, parenting consultation can also be offered as a standalone treatment. There is significant evidence in the CBT therapy outcome literature that parent training is effective in decreasing problematic behaviors in children, and also in increasing parent’s confidence in their own ability to manage their children’s concerns. In addition, we offer consultation to support parents in better understanding their child or teen which in turn can help improve their relationship and communication.
