Parenting is one of the hardest things you’ll ever do. While you're trying to raise your child into someone who can make their way in the world, they're going to chart their own course. Jeremy Johnson, LMFT, of The Connection Place in Hendersonville, TN, offers parenting support to help you navigate childrearing and do the best for your family you possibly can.
Why Seek Parenting Support?
Whether your child is a kindergartner, in middle school, or ready to go off to college in a year, parenting can be rewarding, but it often comes with its share of challenges. While you and your child may love each other deeply, you may not always get along. You may notice emotional changes in your child related to a major life transition, such as the parents going through a divorce, blending families, or a move to a new home or school. Your child might show aggressive or impulsive behavior, struggle in their relationship with a sibling, show signs of anxiety or depression, experience grief or trauma, or be diagnosed with a developmental or sensory disorder.
Jeremy is trained to work with children of all ages and to support biological, adoptive, and foster parents. His goal for every family is to help them work through various challenges and become better communicators with secure attachments.
Types of Therapy Provided
Talk therapy is a modality that Jeremy uses for both in-office and virtual visits. While getting to know the child is an important component of this therapy, it also involves parent participation. Jeremy uses traditional talk therapy to help you as parent recognize how your actions are guided by your assumptions and whether different ways of thinking could lead you to consider different actions. It may also include learning more about your attachment style, how your attachment history influences how you communicate, and identifying what you and your child need from a family relationship to feel safe and fulfilled.
Another approach Jeremy commonly uses in his work with families is Theraplay. This model of therapy gives you and your child an opportunity to participate in fun activities that strengthen your attachment bond, and it can give your child experiences in practicing self-regulation and developing social skills.
