Parents of Kids and Teens

They’re the reason – for everything.

The funny thing about kids is they’re the reason we lose it – and the reason we hold it together.

Being a parent is a choice we make – every day. It’s a choice to put someone else’s happiness and well-being ahead of your own.

It’s about teaching the lessons to do the right thing even when you’re not sure what’s right yourself. And to forgive yourself over and over when you choose the wrong “right thing!”

As a parent, you realize the strengths you didn’t know you had and fears you didn’t know existed.

So, what about YOU?

Why does everyone think you need wine, chocolate, and remote control to cope?

“All everyone sees is just a mom. I thought there was more to me; only I have forgotten who I am. I’m more than just a mother.”

Sometimes, you need an objective person to help you see things more clearly.

Yes, you’re still in there somewhere.

Together, we’ll find YOU again. To help you recognize yourself as a person.

To hold up that secret mirror that allows you to remember who you were before you became a parent.

A different kind of approach.

At Wisdom of the Aged, our therapists vary in education, training, experience, knowledge, and approach.

We aren’t the kind of place where you lie down and take a permanent space on the couch (we don’t even have a couch)!

Each therapist does have their style, and a way of connecting with you – to help you feel stronger, more empowered, and more in control of your own life.

They will help you realize that it’s ok to put on that oxygen mask first, instead of always feeling like you’re gasping for air!

Sometimes your marriage or relationship will be tested

We know how the stress of raising a family can wear on even the best of relationships. Tension, sadness, worry, fear, and other problems may arise.

You may hope your relationship troubles go away on their own. But left to fester, a crack in the relationship may only worsen and eventually create problems that affect other family members in the house.

At Wisdom of the Aged, our therapists provide marriage/couples counseling, so the kids don’t divide and conquer. Therapy helps separated parents learn how to co-parent, allowing you to provide a united front in managing the household.

Don’t settle for coping.
Recognize. Reclaim. Conquer.

You give your best care when you care for yourself.

Call us today at (631) 736-7707, and let’s talk more about how we can help.

And, contrary to popular belief, therapy doesn’t have to be forever. Besides individual counseling, we have coaching, hypnosis, support groups, neurofeedback, as well as other modalities for that busy caregiver!
