You’re doing your best. You’re exhausted.

We’re hear to help.

Everyone Needs Support.

Parenting can bring out the deepest love—and the deepest overwhelm. Whether you’re raising a neurodivergent child, navigating complex behavior, co-parenting after separation, or just trying to hold it all together, we see how heavy it can get. You’re not failing. You’re just doing the impossible without enough support.

At Black Onyx, we offer therapy for parents who want to show up with more compassion, capacity, and clarity—not perfection.

Therapy for Parents

Is This You?

You might benefit from therapy if you:

  • Feel like you’re constantly triggered, burned out, or shutting down

  • Struggle with guilt, shame, or self-doubt around your parenting

  • Are navigating a diagnosis or complex emotional needs in your child

  • Want to break generational cycles and parent differently than you were raised

  • Are juggling parenting with trauma, anxiety, or ADHD

  • Need a safe space to vent, cry, regroup, and heal

We help people like you!

There’s no perfect time to ask for help—only the moment you decide you’re worthy of it. Therapy can support you when you feel:

  • Chronically overwhelmed or dysregulated

  • Disconnected from your partner, child, or yourself

  • Reactive in ways that don’t feel like you

  • Unsure how to support your child’s emotional needs

  • Desperate for space that’s just for you
