Parenting a child facing challenges can feel daunting. At Thriving Minds, we recognize that the journey of each child we see is deeply intertwined with their family, home, and school environments. As part of our commitment to holistic care, we not only work directly with children to equip them with the necessary tools for navigating their surroundings, but we also strive to actively involve and empower parents throughout the treatment process. Our clinicians regularly collaborate with parents during their child's individual therapy sessions. Additionally, we offer specialized programs for parents, such as the Parent Problem Solving Program, and the opportunity for private consultations to address particular concerns.

Parent involvement varies depending on the child's age, the nature of their issues, and the specific therapeutic approach. For younger children, parents may be more involved in the sessions. For teens, we balance the need for parental involvement with the teen's need for privacy and independence.

The objective of our parent problem-solving sessions is to provide parents with a well-defined action plan, complete with tested and effective strategies, to assist their child or teen in navigating present challenges.
Ideal for any parent dealing with a child or teen facing anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, or educational difficulties, the Parent Problem-Solving Program offers targeted support tailored to these specific issues.

Parent participation is crucial in the treatment of any child or teen facing behavioral or emotional issues. As such, the Parent Problem-Solving Program serves as an effective way to initiate this vital aspect of the therapeutic journey.
Furthermore, recent studies indicate that children and teens with behavioral or emotional challenges often achieve as much, if not more, progress when their parents engage directly with a psychologist compared to attending sessions on their own. This underscores the significant role that parental involvement plays in the therapeutic process.
