Feel like you’re running on empty?
Juggling demands as a parent is tough. You do so much for your children because you love them so much, but sometimes it feels like you’re running on empty. You have needs too, but taking care of them goes on the back burner when you’re trying to manage a family. Anxiety, depression, and burnout can take center stage.
Parenting is a skill we learn and improve upon.
Whether it’s a struggling teen, conflict in the home, burnout, or financial pressure, navigating life as a parent is no easy feat. You fix one problem and three more come up.
It’s about taking care of yourself too.
Decision-making as a parent requires calmness and confidence. When we don’t take care of our well-being, it’s harder to see clearly. Then parenting decision-making feels overwhelming to the point of burnout. That’s where counseling can make all the difference.
Your health is what’s best for your children.
Imagine feeling confident that you’re making the right choices as a parent. You take care of your children as best as you can without losing yourself in the process. You get to live in a household with healthy boundaries, strong communication, and a sense of direction even on chaotic days. This doesn’t have to be imagination.
Parenting is stressful, but it doesn’t have to burn you out
Nobody said parenting was easy. When inevitable stress comes up, like your teen’s stubborn nature, your toddler’s tantrums, or uncertainty about the future, it’s easy to lose ground and feel like throwing a tantrum yourself.
CBT is a skill set that benefits your whole family.
I’m Denis Barron, your guide to parenting with skill and confidence in San Francisco. I use CBT to help you build tangible skills to manage your own emotions so you can show up fully for your kid/s. That doesn’t mean being passive as a parent. It means recognizing frustration, learning how to manage it, and applying more effective skills to challenges so that your home environment stays healthy and running smoothly. I also have a strong background in family therapy, which I bring to our individual work.
CBT shows you how to manage stress in a way that lets you make the best of your life as a parent.
Schedule a call to become the best role model you can be.
Does this sound familiar?
You can thrive as a parent
More joy, less guilt
You don’t have to put your needs aside in order to be a good parent. The more you learn how to navigate big emotions, manage household stress, and get your family on the same page, the easier it becomes to build a healthy home life.
You don’t have to keep feeling like you’re doing something wrong, comparing yourself to other parents, that you’re somehow ‘failing’ as a parent.
Don’t let stress and worry overshadow the joy of parenting. In CBT you’ll learn to “surf the waves” with trust and confidence, helping you model a healthy emotional life for your children.
When you feel in control, your kids notice and follow suit. CBT is all about giving you the confidence to take effective lead in your home life and let everyone reap the benefits.
Reach out today for a consultation, and start your journey to a happier, healthier family.
CBT gives you the skills you need to:
Parenting with confidence
We all want to be the perfect parent, but managing a family can be messy at the best of times. I’m here to remind you that it’s not about being perfect. It’s about being present and intentional.
CBT helps you figure out what you want as a parent and helps you get there.
With CBT you set clear and achievable goals, making your parenting role much easier to handle. It also equips you with a toolbox of strategies to make sure you’re nurturing yourself among all your other responsibilities.
Learn to trust the process
When family stress is getting the better of you, knowing how to manage it makes for a happier household. When you learn and apply CBT’s tools and strategies, you’ll become a more effective manager of your life and the lives of the ones you love.
CBT therapy teaches you the skills you need to de-stress without putting your responsibilities to the side.
CBT provides practical tools and insight that will not only help you manage your family life better, but also boost your confidence in other areas of your life. You’ll learn to prioritize your well-being so that you can show up not only as a parent, but as a friend, a colleague, a partner, and a confident, grounded individual.
