You Can Take Care of Your Needs and Still Be a Good Parent

You don’t have to be perfect to help your kids thrive.

When you have the hardest job in the world, where do you look for support? CBT helps parents like you feel grounded and confident so you and your family can thrive.

Parent therapy San Francisco can help you care for yourself while raising others

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.

What to expect from parent counseling in San Francisco when parenting feels overwhelming

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.

You deserve to thrive as a parent

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.

The more you take care of yourself, the more you can show up for your family.

Nobody can tell you how to parent your children. However, there are ways to take care of yourself so that your innate parenting skills have a chance to shine. That’s where CBT makes a difference.

Parenting coaching in San Francisco gives you tools to lead your family with clarity

Does this sound familiar?

Tired parents often tell me:

‘I feel like I’m not doing good enough’
‘My kids just don’t listen to me.’
‘I’m exhausted from enforcing rules all the time’
‘My child’s emotions are becoming hard to handle, I’m worried I’ll lose it’
‘I don’t know how to guide my child through these big changes’
‘My partner and I don’t agree on much these days’
‘I feel like I’ve been focused on my kid so long I’ve forgotten about myself.’

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.
