As a larger bodied, pansexual, AuDHD therapist and parent to Autistic kids, I not only have the skills to support you, I also have lived experience.
I work with neurodivergent women and non-binary people. They might have a diagnosis like ADHD or Autism, or they might struggle with day-to-day tasks like managing their calendar, eating different foods, or only being able to wear specific clothing. If this sounds like you, you might be struggling with living in a world that is overwhelming. Neurodivergent people also often struggle with body liberation. We want to fit in and belong, in any way we can, including our bodies. It can be exhausting. But you are not alone! You deserve compassion and to understand what you need to function at your best.

I can imagine during these crazy times you are just trying acclimate to all the changes that are occurring around you. New and different work and school schedules, parenting and teaching at the same time, giving so much to everyone, and things are just a bit out of control. You used to have it all together but this year things may have fallen apart a little, gotten a bit harder, just more complicated. You are exhausted and you don't think you can do it anymore. You're so tired. It's time for a change.

Parenting Therapists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
