Parenting Therapist
For caregivers of neurodivergent, struggling tweens, teens, and young adults.
Through structured, compassionate parenting therapy, I’ll help you step out of rescue-and-explode cycles and find steadiness, so you can lead with more peace, confidence, and influence in your home.
There are a few things I know for sure about you.
You love your kid, even if you’re not enjoying them very much right now.
You’re trying incredibly hard
And too many days still end in guilt, fear, and overwhelm.
Small moments escalate fast.
A request becomes a refusal.
A reminder becomes a blow-up.
A boundary becomes a war.
Suddenly you’re lecturing, yelling, or threatening consequences you don’t actually want to enforce.
Later, when it’s quiet, your brain won’t stop.
What if I’ve already failed them?
What if they’ll always struggle?
What does this say about me?
You replay it.
You research, plan, promise yourself you’ll handle it differently next time.
And when the next moment hits and the same thing happens.
You can be competent, thoughtful, and regulated everywhere else in your life.
At home, it unravels.
It doesn’t have to stay this way.
You might recognize your family here if…
Your child is ADHD, autistic, rejection sensitive, or wired intensely.
School or therapy refusal, chronic avoidance, or failure to launch is running the household
Meltdowns, shutdowns, or explosive reactions happen often
Requests about school, hygiene, or screens, become power struggles
You’re walking on eggshells to prevent the next blow-up
Attempts to help are met with retreat, grunts, or silence
You live on alert for self-harm, disordered eating, or unsafe choices
You and your co-parent are divided about limits, expectations, or follow-through
Talks about independence, motivation, or the future stall out or explode
This is a family system under strain.
It doesn’t mean you failed.
It means everyone has hit the edge of their capacity.
And that it may be time for parenting therapy to build new capacity.
Nobody prepared you for this
When they were little, you could pick them up, strap them in, enforce the consequence, bribe them with the sticker chart.
Your authority had weight.
Now they’re bigger, sharper, more independent.
You can’t make them go.
You can’t make them talk.
You can’t make them care.
So, the pressure rises.
You push harder… or give in because you’re afraid of losing them.
Of course you’re scared.
Your heart is walking around outside your body, making life-shaping decisions with an unfinished brain.
The goal isn’t to stop being scared.
It comes with the job.
The goal is learning how to keep fear out of the driver’s seat, so you can stay connected and effective.
You still have the same kid.
But even when it’s messy, you know you moved things in the right direction.
Meet Your Parenting Therapist
Hi, I’m Becca
Hi, I’m Becca Gregory. I’m a licensed clinical social worker specializing in parent therapy for ADHD and neurodivergent families.
Parents sometimes wonder something important.
I’m not a parent.
What I bring is sixteen years of professional experience inside the lives of children and families, across child welfare, community mental health, and private practice.
I’ve sat in living rooms, courtrooms, schools, hospitals, and therapy offices with tweens, teens, and young adults.
I’ve seen what helps.
I’ve seen what harms.
And I’ve seen how often parents are left carrying impossible responsibility without the right support.
Many professionals focus on treating kids.
I’m devoted to standing with parents.
I love helping you make sense of what’s happening, untangle urgency, and lead with clarity instead of fear.
I’m not here to judge you or automatically side with your child.
I’m on the side of the relationship — and what works in real life.
What We Actually Do in Parenting Therapy
Most overwhelmed parents swing between two reactions:
Rescue
over-help, over-function, soften limits, appease, avoid
Explosion
snap, yell, lecture, clamp down, make threats
And they’re left thinking,
I’ve tried every approach and nothing works.
Both ends of that swing come from the same place: Fear.
Fear about your child’s future.
Fear of losing authority.
Fear of getting it wrong.
Fear of your child’s distress.
Fear of losing connection.
So, before we talk strategy, we work with what hijacks you in the moment.
Because tools don’t work when your nervous system is in alarm.
Step 1 —
Reset the Tone at Home
Your ability to influence change with teens and young adults depends on the quality of your relationship.
✔ create more positive interactions
✔ reduce daily flashpoints, like mornings, homework, screens, curfews
✔ decide what truly matters vs. what is more effective to let go
✔ catch escalation earlier and slow it down
Most parents notice fewer fights, quicker recovery, and moments of warmth returning.
Step 2 —
Change the Reactions That Hijack You
If what blocks you from using your knowledge and tools doesn’t change, your automatic reactions won’t either.
✔ notice the fears that flood in about your child’s future
✔ work with the guilt and second-guessing
✔ untangle the old stuff that gets stirred up
✔ recognize when you move into fixing, rescuing, or exploding
✔ build the ability to stay steady when your child is not
This is where reactions start slowing down instead of taking over.
Step 3 —
Get Practical
With more connection and more steadiness, now your influence can actually work.
✔ work with your child to build solutions instead of battling over compliance
✔ allow your kid to experience natural consequences without rescuing
✔ set limits without igniting a power struggle
✔ follow through without yelling or threatening things you can’t enforce
✔ say no without drowning in guilt
✔ repair faster when things go sideways
You’ll learn how to:
Your child may still be complex.
But your voice will carry more weight, without you having to raise it.
What Changes First?
You have 3-minute conversations that aren’t about school or responsibilities
Mornings aren’t screaming matches, whether your kid makes it to school on time or not
You’re clear on where to spend your energy, and where not to
You call a pause before you say something you’ll regret
You catch your urge to fix it before you jump in uninvited
You can tolerate their tears, anger, or disappointment backtracking
They begin to participate in change plans
You make amends instead of tiptoeing around each other for days
You trust your decisions, even when your child doesn’t like them
If you’re struggling at home, you don’t need more pressure, another list of parenting skills for ADHD, or advice that ignores how neurodivergent nervous systems work.
You may need a parenting therapist who helps with the moments where your best intentions get hijacked—so your peace and confidence aren’t held hostage by your child’s mood or choices.
Change at home starts with changing what happens inside you.

Parenting Therapy Package — 8 Sessions
In the first phase, most families feel the temperature begin to drop.
You interrupt escalation loops, experience more neutral or positive moments, and start staying steadier when your child is upset, refusing, or shut down.
In the second phase, we build from that stability.
We resolve the reactions in you that hijack your best intentions and get increasingly practical about limits, follow-through, collaborative problem solving, and repair.
Families often tell me the house feels lighter, parents feel more confident, and recovery is faster.
Total cost: $1,800–$2,160 (sliding scale)

How to Take the First Step
We’ll talk about what’s happening at home, what feels most urgent, and whether this approach will actually help.
-
It depends on your family, the intensity of what’s happening, and how long these patterns have been in place.
Eight sessions are typically enough to create meaningful traction. Most parents notice they are reacting less, thinking more clearly, and following through more consistently, even if their child is still struggling.
Whether it feels complete often comes down to how powerful your old stories are, what gets activated in you under stress, and the realities of the ways you and your child’s nervous systems.
Sometimes, we have to go slow to go fast.
If you want continued help, you’re welcome to purchase another package or schedule booster sessions at the same per-session rate.
-
You can still come.
Change in a family system does not require 100% participation to begin. When one caregiver becomes steadier, clearer, and more consistent, the entire dynamic often starts to shift.
Many partners become more open once they see conflict decreasing and communication improving.
If they want to join later, they’re welcome.
