Parent Counselling
It might feel like an Understatement to say that parenting can feel tough at times. Parents have different parenting styles in raising a child. It's extremely common for parents to struggle with parenting strategies; you're not alone, you're human.
For example, do you having difficulty with the following:
​
-
Discipline struggles or following through?
-
Executing requests properly?
-
Understanding your child's behaviours?
-
Behavioural challenges?
-
Do you know how to communicate effectively with your child where it doesn't result in behavioural outbursts, melt downs etc.?
-
Knowing how to provide support to your anxious, highly-sensitive or depressed child/teen?
-
Knowing how to navigate or parent a child/teen with an intense or reactive temperament or teen concerns (e.g., risky behaviour, drug/alcohol use, etc.)?

How Dr. Kim can help...
Parent Counselling will help parents to identify parent techniques. Parenting styles can be more subconscious than intentional. Some parents unknowingly implement these styles/techniques on their children. As such, it is helpful for parents to be mindful of their actions and behaviors related to their styles.
Depending on each parents requests, needs, and preferences, the following are some integrative, evidenced based therapy approaches that I use:
​​​
-
Brief Solution-Focused Therapy
-
Behavioural Therapy (e.g., Errorless Compliance Therapy)
-
​Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
-
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
-
Education Techniques (e.g., educating parents on different topics)
-
Emotion-Focused Therapy
-
Insight-oriented Therapy
-
Interpersonal Therapy
-
Mindfulness-based Therapies
-
Play Therapy
