Description: We love watching our children grow, but we also recognize that raising a child can be a demanding chapter where it is easy to overlook your own emotional well-being. Managing parental stress, burnout, and the emotional roller coaster of these early years is crucial. You don’t have to carry these burdens alone! Our Parent Support Group is designed to be a supportive, confidential, judgment-free space dedicated to parent mental health and emotional well-being. With the support of two dedicated therapists, each session will feature an optional discussion topic or focus on a topic brought by a parent. The goal is to share resources, discuss effective coping strategies for stress and overwhelm, and offer encouragement for navigating the emotional demands of modern parenting.
Facilitators: Denisa Selby and Roxanne Adli
Roxanne is a therapist trainee currently pursuing her Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, with specific interests in trauma healing, attachment wounds, and healthy relationships. Guided by a trauma-informed approach, she is deeply interested in how trauma and early relationships with caregivers shape our understanding of self, our ways of connecting, and the types of relationships we form with others. She seeks to help clients uncover the root causes or traumas underneath their behaviors and feelings so that healing can come from a place of genuine understanding, self-knowledge, and self-awareness. In sessions, she strives to create a gentle, healing, safe, trusting, and compassionate space where clients feel deeply seen and supported as they journey toward growth, self-awareness, and wellness. In this space, she seeks to help people reconnect with their authentic selves so they can grow in wisdom and find their inner strength, capacity, and drive for meaningful change and growth. Roxanne is supervised by Caroline Leon Williams, LMF 127792.
