We help parents find balance, heal from trauma, and feel more supported and confident in the day to day demands of parenting.
Thinking about your child’s needs is a biological reflex. Once you become a parent, everything changes—you were no longer checking on yourself first, putting your needs as priority, or maybe even forgetting that you had needs.
And this makes sense! As parents, we are experts at putting our children first, and our kids are need so much of our support. If you have a child with a medical difference, genetic difference, medical trauma, or highly sensitive nervous system, you have probably been working on overtime, on high alert, and fueled by adrenaline for years.
Navigating life in survival mode may have worked for while. But now, perhaps, you’re realizing that you’re burning out, losing your cool more than you’d like, or finding that you have no bandwidth or tolerance for challenges with your child.
Investing in your mental health is essential if you:
Repeat patterns you hate
Feel like you’re failing (you’re not, we promise)
Want to model personal growth and self-care to your child
Are afraid that you are somehow harming or damaging your child
Are repeating things your parents did that you swore you would not repeat
Are burning out

Jennifer Mohn, MA, LPC Associate
Offering “Walk and Talk” and Online Therapy
We support parents in their goals to become more at peace, more patient, and to finally have a space to process. Our team understands what it’s like to parent a complex child. We’ve walked alongside countless parents in situations like yours, and many discover a deeper understanding of themselves and their child, along with a more connected, vibrant relationship with both. This is possible for you too, even if right now it feels hopeless. There is always hope, and we don’t say that lightly. We’ve lived it. -The Real Work Parent Support Team
