Support for parents and caregivers

Parent Support Counseling in Oak Brook

Amy Brink, LPC, NCC

Parents and caregivers may seek counseling when family stress, communication, a child's emotions or behavior, or changing roles are difficult to navigate. Counseling can help adults respond more intentionally while keeping the child's development and family context in view.

What parent support may address

Topics may include communication, family conflict, responding to a child's stress, caregiver reactions, boundaries, consistency, and the impact of transitions on the family.

Amy Brink's family-centered background

Amy Brink's work includes family and relationship interventions, family systems work, attachment-based approaches, and child and family play therapy. Her work with children and adolescents includes caregiver involvement when appropriate.

Parent support is not a parenting formula

Counseling should not assume one family structure or one correct parenting style. The work should reflect the family's goals, safety, development, and context.

Individual, family, or child-focused options

Depending on the concern, intake may recommend parent-focused counseling, child and adolescent counseling, or broader family work.
