Parenting Counseling

 


Parenting a teen can feel like walking a tightrope between wanting to protect them and also needing to let them figure things out.

And sometimes, it’s easy to forget that showing up is enough.

I want you to remember…

☀️ You don’t have to have the perfect response.
☀️ You don’t have to fix every problem.
☀️ Your presence, consistency, and willingness to listen make more of an impact than you realize.

Teens are navigating some of the most complex years of their lives, balancing independence with belonging, identity with expectation, and emotions that often feel bigger than their ability to manage them.

And while they may not always say it, your steady presence helps anchor them through it.

So on the hard days, when the eye rolls feel endless or conversations fall flat, remember your effort to stay connected still matters.

Every time you pause before reacting, model self-compassion, or remind them they’re not alone, you’re teaching them how to regulate, repair, and reach for connection too.

💬 We’d love to hear from you! What helps you stay grounded when parenting feels hard?

LGBT Therapy in Richmond

LGBT Pride Month, observed in June, is celebrated around the U.S. with parades and activism events. At the same time, many people do not know Pride Month’s origin, which honors the 1969 Stonewall riots — a demonstration which blazed the trail for activists across the country. In 1970, the first Gay Pride marches took place in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. There has been a lot of progress since then, but LGBT advocates are still working toward a future without discrimination in the workplace and beyond. Here are some powerful quotes from changemakers who are have contributed to the movement for LGBT equality: “Openness may not completely disarm prejudice, but it’s a good place to start.” — Jason Collins, first openly gay athlete in U.S. pro sports “When all Americans are treated as equal, no matter who they are or whom they love, we are all more free.” — Barack Obama If you need support, contact us today for therapy in   Berkeley and Richmond www.lifebyde...
