Parent Counseling

At Foundations Counseling in Fort Collins, Loveland, and Windsor, we offer parent counseling services that will give you real answers to real problems. Parenting is one of the most crucial responsibilities a human being can have. It brings great joy – and sometimes, great pain. Our parent counseling provides understanding, compassion, support, structure, and accountability.

As parents, we all have strengths and weaknesses. Unfortunately, many people equate going to therapy with blaming mom or dad. In reality, parent counseling is about understanding a more accurate picture of who we are. What are our strengths, weaknesses, and missing parts?

Parent counseling is for parents of children from newborn through the teen years. You can benefit from parent counseling if you:

• Have a child with a challenging temperament
• Feel that you need help disciplining your children
• Sometimes feel out of control or unsure of healthy ways to respond
• Want to better understand your child’s behavior
• Want to learn about setting reasonable expectations and effective limits
• Want to increase your confidence and improve your parenting skills
