Connected Threads Counseling offers online parenting therapy for all relationship styles throughout Wisconsin, along with Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan.
Parenting has its own unique challenges that impact not only you as individuals, but your family unit as a whole. Maybe, since becoming a parent, you’ve found yourself:
Feeling disconnected from your partner(s)
Not understanding how to support your partner(s)
Not feeling like a team in front of your children
Navigating differing parenting values, expectations, and division of household tasks
Experiencing decreased emotional or physical intimacy
Not feeling like a priority to your partner(s)
While these challenges are normal, it is possible to make changes, no matter where you are in the parenting process. In therapy, you can begin to:
Create a space where you don’t have to be in parenting survival mode
Be vulnerable with each other
Develop concreate communication tools and conflict resolution skills
Build a support system outside of your relationship
Explore ways to split up household tasks that feels equitable and meet everyone’s needs
Feel united around parenting decisions
Build more connection as a romantic unit, not just as co-parents
