At Sarah Cline & Associates, we recognize that parenting is a multifaceted journey, encompassing moments of joy as well as significant challenges.

Our compassionate and inclusive approach ensures you will always feel supported, understood, and respected.

We work with parents juggling a variety of responsibilities, including their children’s needs, family relationships, and professional obligations, while addressing concerns such as communication breakdowns, co-parenting issues, behavioral challenges, mental health struggles, and the complexities of raising children with special needs.

Expert Support for Your Mental Health Through Parenthood

Our Approach

We come alongside our clients and help guide them through the process of understanding themselves better, with compassion and no shame we can uncover patterns in thinking and behavior that may add to their challenges.

We do this while instilling hope that things can improve and they can feel better with time. We offer our knowledge and experience to help clients understand things like depression and anxiety and trauma so that they are better able to work with their own experiences better.

Compassion is at the root of what we do. Compassion for self and for others. We help clients challenge the idea that they have to be perfect or that having mental health struggles means they are not capable and worthy people.

We also help clients challenge societal expectations that are not serving them well.

A Typical Session

During a 55-60 minute session, your therapist will listen attentively without judgment, providing a safe space for you to express your experiences and challenges as a parent. You are encouraged to share updates about your family dynamics, parenting successes, and areas where you need support. The therapist will ask thoughtful questions and offer valuable insights or feedback.

Sessions are an open dialogue and may include:

  • Exploring Parenting Styles: Understanding your parenting approach and finding strategies that work best for your family.
  • Stress Management Techniques: Learning methods to manage parental stress and avoid burnout.
  • Emotional Regulation: Developing skills to regulate your emotions and respond calmly in challenging situations.
  • Effective Communication Skills: Enhancing your ability to communicate effectively with your children and co-parents.
  • Behavioral Strategies: Implementing practical strategies to address and manage your child’s behavior.

Our compassionate counselors are here to support you through every stage of your parenting journey, helping you feel empowered, confident, and prepared for the challenges ahead.
