Robin Brannan, LCMFT
Child and Family Therapist, ADHD and Anxiety Specialist, LGBTQIA+ Affirming and Neurodivergence Friendly
You’ve asked yourself over and over again “why is my child doing this? Why can’t we stop yelling? Why doesn’t my partner listen to me? How on earth will I get all of this done?”
You’re saying things you never wanted to say. “You only listen when I yell!” “You never do anything around here!” “I hate this!”
You want to feel better. To be proud of your parenting. And enjoy your partner(s), and your children again.
The good news? Therapy can heal your relationships, whether you attend sessions together or alone.
And you’ll feel better when your relationships are better.
We can do this together. I’ll help your child to be his best self more often. I’ll teach her to calm down more quickly. They’ll believe in themselves more and have more success at school and at home.
Together we’ll replace the feelings you are feeling in your family now… the anger, frustration, fear, worry, sadness, and even disgust… with love, joy, connection, and mutual respect.
We’ll create lasting change, so that you can face new challenges together when they come. And we’ll have a little fun along the way.
That means we might play on the floor with your 5 year old, make up a TikTok dance with your teenager, or connect you and your partner through laughter.
It also means that we will tackle problems as a team. We’ll practice strategies and create solutions so that you can experience real change. And like each other again.
You deserve to understand your child better, feel proud of your parenting, and enjoy your family life again.
