For Parents

You want the best for your child. I'm here to help your family thrive.

Erin Welsh, LCPC

You're Not Alone

Parenting is hard. When your child is struggling, it's normal to feel worried, frustrated, or overwhelmed. You might wonder if you're doing something wrong or what you can do to help.

The truth is, asking for help is one of the strongest things you can do for your child and your family. Therapy can give you and your child new tools, help you understand each other better, and make home life calmer and happier.

I work closely with parents because you know your child best. Together, we'll create a plan that works for your whole family.

Common Reasons Parents Reach Out

School Struggles

Your child has trouble focusing, completing homework, or keeping up with schoolwork.

Learning Differences

Your child has been diagnosed with ADHD, dyslexia, or other learning challenges.

Anxiety or Worry

Your child seems anxious, has trouble sleeping, or worries excessively.

Behavior Issues

Tantrums, defiance, or acting out at home or school.

Big Life Changes

Divorce, moving, a new sibling, or other major transitions.

Social Challenges

Difficulty making friends, bullying, or trouble fitting in.

Depression or Mood

Your child seems sad, withdrawn, or has lost interest in activities.

Self-Harm or Cutting

You've noticed signs of self-harm, or your child has expressed suicidal thoughts.

Sensory Issues

Sensitivity to sounds or textures, or difficulty with sensory processing.

How I Work With Parents

Parent Involvement

When working with children, I believe parent involvement is essential. You're not just dropping your child off—you're part of the team.

  • Regular check-ins about progress
  • Tools and strategies to use at home
  • Joint sessions when helpful
  • Support for your parenting challenges

Family-Centered Approach

I often include siblings or other family members when it helps everyone work together.

  • Improve family communication
  • Reduce conflict at home
  • Build stronger relationships
  • Create lasting change together

Specialized Support for Parents

Learning Differences & ADHD

Raising a child with learning differences or ADHD comes with unique challenges. I previously worked at a school for children with learning differences and understand what you're going through.

I can help you advocate for your child at school, create routines that work, and understand how their brain processes information differently.

Perinatal & Fertility Support

Struggling to conceive, dealing with pregnancy loss, or experiencing postpartum depression? You don't have to go through this alone.

I provide compassionate support for parents at any stage of their journey—from trying to conceive to adjusting to life with a new baby.
