Therapists and Counselors for Parents, Kids, and Families on Long Island
Parenting doesn’t come with an instruction manual. We are often tasked with figuring it out as we go. Although some of us had good role models for parenting, others did not, and most of us still have never experienced anything quite like it.
Parenting is also stressful. It is overwhelming. It is frustrating, fulfilling, sad, and joyful all at once. It is a range of emotions that are difficult for even seasoned parents to handle. At South Shore Counseling LCSW, PLLC, we’re here to make sure that you have access to someone that can support you as a parent. If you need parent coaching or psychotherapy, or you’d like help for yourself, a family member, or you and your partner as a couple, reach out to us today.
We’re local to Oakdale, NY, near Sayville, Islip, and Bohemia, and we’re also available remotely for select patients. Get started today by giving us a call at 631-602-0079 or filling out our online form.
About Parent Coaching
Therapy does not have to be about mental health disorders. Sometimes, it’s about addressing your needs now and helping you get where you need to be. Parent coaching is a goal oriented service that allows you to choose a goal and then work with an experienced therapist to learn more about child behavior, parenting dynamics, stress reduction, etc. in order to help your child reach those goals.
With parent coaching, we’re here to help with issues such as:
- Morning routines
- Homework struggles
- Sibling bickering
- Conflict reduction
- Communication, and more
We can help you with children that are picky eaters, we can help you engage with an angry teenager, and we can help you address ADHD in your child, and much more. As therapists, we can also work with you on your needs, such as keeping calm when frustrated, alternatives to yelling, and how to address your own past parenting traumas.
We also have couples counselors for parents that might like to work on their relationship as well.
Becoming the Parent You Want to Be
Parenting is hard. Working with a therapist can make it easier for you to better understand yourself, your emotions, how to be a parent, and so much more.
