Parents

Caring for Your Mental Health: We know you’re juggling countless responsibilities, and it might seem impossible to find time for yourself. However, caring for your mental health is not just important; it’s essential. Your well-being directly influences your ability to provide the loving, understanding, and supportive environment your child needs. Neurodivergent affirming parent therapy isn’t just about coping strategies; it’s about enriching your family life by ensuring you’re mentally and emotionally equipped to navigate the joys and challenges of parenting a neurodivergent child.

Let's work together

Parenting is an expedition filled with love, challenges, and profound moments of discovery, especially when your child is neurodivergent. At Uniquely You Behavioral Health, we understand the unique joys and challenges that come with parenting autistic children or those with other neurodivergences. The puzzled looks from others when you celebrate what they might see as small victories, the unsolicited advice that doesn’t take into account your child’s unique way of experiencing the world, and the moments of isolation when it feels like no one truly understands. It’s for these reasons and more that we offer specialized neurodivergent affirming parent therapy.

You Are Not Alone:

The journey of parenting a neurodivergent child is one of complexity and contrast. It’s about finding joy in the nuances of your child’s interactions, such as the pure delight of a shared Goldfish cracker or the unparalleled happiness of an initiated hug. It’s also about navigating the challenges, from misunderstandings with family and friends to the heartache of school calls requesting you to pick up your child. Our therapy services are designed to acknowledge and support the full spectrum of your experiences, offering a space where your feelings are validated, and your family’s needs are understood.
