Parenting Support in Kansas City
Helping You Navigate the Hardest and Most Important Job You'll Ever Have
Parenting is deeply rewarding and incredibly hard. From daily stress to long-term struggles, it’s easy to feel like you’re doing it all wrong. The truth is, no parent has all the answers. And when you're overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure of how to support your child, it’s okay to reach out for help.
At Owings Counseling, I provide parenting support in Kansas City for caregivers who want to feel more confident, connected, and grounded in their role.
When Parents Need Support
There’s no “right” time to seek help, it’s enough to know that something feels off. You might be:
Struggling with behavior challenges at home
Feeling disconnected from your child or teen
Facing different parenting styles with your partner
Unsure how to support a neurodivergent child
Feeling guilty, overwhelmed, or stuck in constant stress
Navigating transitions like divorce, remarriage, or blended family dynamics
Trying to balance your own mental health with parenting demands
As a therapist for parenting struggles, I offer a space to pause, reflect, and get back in touch with what matters most.
How Therapy Can Help
In therapy, we’ll focus on what’s getting in the way of feeling confident and connected as a parent. This is not about judgment, it's about support.
Through counseling for parents, we can:
Explore what your child needs at their developmental stage
Understand your triggers and patterns as a caregiver
Strengthen communication between you and your child
Develop realistic strategies that align with your values
Work through grief, fear, or guilt that may be getting in the way
Many parents I work with feel more empowered and less reactive after just a few sessions.
Support for All Types of Families
I work with:
Parents of toddlers, tweens, and teens
Single parents or separated co-parents
LGBTQ+ families
Neurodivergent parents or those raising neurodivergent kids
Families navigating religious trauma, identity shifts, or major life transitions
If you’re looking for parenting help in Kansas City, I’m here to walk alongside you.
