Therapy for Parents and Families

When a child is born, a parent is also born. No matter how much you’ve read or planned, the psychological impact of becoming a parent can be challenging to anticipate. At Dr. Emma Basch & Associates, we view this transition through a neurobiological, identity, and developmental perspective, and love supporting new (and seasoned) parents through their parenting journey. We work with parents and families of all types, including single parents, LGBTQIA+ parents, adoptive parents, and divorced parents.

Supporting Parental Identity and Family Dynamics

Common issues addressed in therapy include parental identity, family of origin concerns, “reparenting”, and parenting approaches and styles. We understand that developing a strong parental identity is a crucial part of parenting effectively. Our therapists provide parenting therapy, parent coaching, and family counseling to help you navigate these concerns and build a solid foundation for your family. Our therapists also love working with new parents striving for the elusive work-family balance and can provide the expert support you need to achieve harmony in your daily life.

Therapy for All Families

Our practice is dedicated to supporting the diverse experiences of parents and families of all types. We offer therapy for new parents to help them navigate the early stages of parenting, as well as ongoing support for parents navigating new challenges. Our approach is inclusive and affirming, ensuring that all family types feel welcomed and supported. Whether you are a single parent, LGBTQIA+ parent, adoptive parent, or divorced parent, we are here to support you.
