Improve Your Parenting Skills, Boost Your Confidence as a Parent and Create More Harmony in Your Family

Our Port Moody Parent and Family Counsellors Offer Guidance and Reassurance to Reduce Your Stress and Help You Become an Even Better Parent

To say that parenting is challenging is a HUGE understatement.

And, if you have a child who has learning difficulties, is gifted or has sensorimotor challenges, it can be even more complicated.

You’re trying your best to be a good parent, but sometimes you feel like an imposter.

You struggle to connect to your child or teen and can’t figure out how to help them solve their problems.

You worry that your parenting might have a negative impact on your child and family.

Reading books and online resources can help, but the information sometimes seems contradictory and confusing!

You want to be the best parent you can be so your child grows up healthy, confident and secure.

Our therapists can help.

As a parent, you or your family may be struggling in some of these areas:

• “I feel helpless because I don’t know what to do about my child who is struggling with his peers.”
• “I’m at a loss about the best way to deal with my teenager who doesn’t listen to anything I say.”
• “I need help parenting my child who has learning challenges, is gifted, or struggles with sensorimotor difficulties.”
• “What does my child need from me during our separation and divorce?”
• “I get so frustrated with my teen that I’m yelling at her. I need help in controlling my emotions.”
• “My family is in constant conflict. I don’t know how to stop the fighting.”
• “My partner and I can’t agree with each other about how we parent our children.”

Our Therapists Provide the Specialized Help Parents and Families Need

Children and teens have powerful emotions. We help parents and families understand them and offer guidance in how to deal with them.

At deVries Counselling Group in Port Moody, our therapists work with the parents of the children and teens we see. We also work with all kinds of families.

We help families communicate more effectively and navigate life’s difficulties.

Many of our therapists are also parents, including parents of gifted, ADHD, sensorimotor challenged, and anxious children and teens. Therefore, we know firsthand how challenging family life can be.
