Therapy for Parents
Accountability-Based Parenting Support in NYC, Connecticut, Florida, Westchester & New Jersey
Support for Overwhelmed, Burned Out, and Emotionally Exhausted Parents
Parenting is supposed to be beautiful. And it is. But it is also overwhelming, triggering, exhausting, identity-shifting, and at times deeply lonely. Today’s world glorifies the “gentle parent” but many parents don’t have the emotional regulation skills within themselves to be gentle when their own children are far from it. Not to mention, gentle parenting does not work for every child. There is a beautiful balance between consequences and emotional distress tolerance, in which parents give consequences to unfavorable behaviors and can tolerate the emotional distress of their children.
If you’re feeling:
Touched out
Short-tempered
Guilty all the time
Disconnected from your partner
Afraid you’re “messing your kids up”
Like you’ve lost yourself
You are not failing.
You are overwhelmed, and we are here to help.
At Boutique Psychotherapy, we offer therapy for parents in NYC, Connecticut, Florida, Westchester, and New Jersey who want more than survival — they want clarity, emotional regulation, and a stronger sense of self inside parenthood.
Why Parenting Feels So Much Harder Than You Expected
No one prepares you for:
The identity shift
The constant decision fatigue
The invisible labor
The resentment that can build in marriage
The grief for your former independence
The pressure to “do it perfectly”
High-functioning parents often struggle the most.
You are used to performing well.
Parenting doesn’t offer performance reviews.
It offers unpredictability.
And that unpredictability can activate anxiety, perfectionism, and old attachment wounds you didn’t know were there.
