You're the one holding it together. Managing the appointments, reading the situation, staying calm when things get hard, being the steady one so everyone else can fall apart. And somewhere in all of it, no one has thought to ask how you're doing.

Parenting a child who's struggling (a tween, a teen, a young adult finding their footing) asks something of you that's hard to say out loud. The worry that doesn't switch off. The guilt that second-guesses every decision. The exhaustion of being the container for everyone's emotions while having nowhere to put your own. Maybe your young adult has moved back home, and you're navigating a relationship neither of you quite has a map for.

This is a space for you. Not as your child's parent, but as a person who's carrying a lot and deserves support of your own.

Together we might work on quieting the overwhelm, responding instead of reacting when things get tense at home, holding boundaries without guilt, and rebuilding some trust in your own judgment. The goal isn't to make you a better manager of everyone else. It's to help you feel steadier, clearer, and more like yourself again.

I offer in-person therapy at my office on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and virtually across New York, Connecticut, and Florida.
