Other Clinical Services

Parent Individual Therapy

Our individual parent therapy goes beyond addressing parenting challenges to prioritize your own emotional well-being. We understand that each parent carries unique histories and personal needs that significantly influence their growth. Our experienced clinical staff specializes in guiding parents through these challenges, helping them navigate issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and more, towards a path of personal wellness. By prioritizing your own growth and healing, you not only enhance your overall well-being but also enrich your parenting journey. Take the courageous step towards personal healing and improved family dynamics with us.

Family Therapy

Family Therapy is designed to empower families to rebuild relationships, navigate difficult conversations, and establish more effective patterns of communication. Our approach ensures parents have the opportunity to learn essential skills through parent coaching before integrating their child, adolescent, or young adult into sessions. This enables parents to apply these skills within the family dynamic and effectively manage challenging topics that may arise during therapy. We collaborate closely with your child’s provider to ensure a cohesive and supportive approach that enhances your child’s overall treatment. Let us accompany your family on this healing journey, providing skillful guidance and unwavering support to foster deeper connections and positive change.

Parent Couples Therapy

Each of us brings our unique history, emotions, and perspectives on parenting into our relationships. These differences, compounded by the challenges of caring for a child, teen, or young adult struggling with emotion dysregulation, can strain communication and create emotional distance. At The Be Center, we specialize in empowering parent couples to overcome conflict, cultivate effective communication strategies, and rediscover connection. Just as parents seek support in navigating their child’s challenges, couples deserve the opportunity to nurture and heal their relationship. Take the first step on your path towards a stronger partnership.
