Parenting & Family Life Can Feel Overwhelming — You Don’t Have to Navigate It Alone

Family life can bring deep love and connection — but it can also bring emotional strain, conflict, and periods of disconnection. Whether you are facing constant tension at home, co-parenting struggles after a separation, or feeling unsure how to support your child through big emotions, you are not alone.

At Reclaim & Rise Counselling, we specialize in family counselling, parenting support, and co-parenting counselling for parents, caregivers, children, and youth. We provide sessions in-person in Stratford, Ontario, and virtually across Ontario, making support accessible for busy families. Our team includes therapists with specialized training in child, youth, and family therapy, allowing us to support your entire family system with care and expertise.

Why Families Seek Counselling

Families come to us when they are experiencing:

  • Parent-child conflict, power struggles, or frequent arguments

  • Children or teens struggling with anxiety, anger, or emotional overwhelm

  • Family transitions such as separation, divorce, blended family adjustments, or grief

  • Co-parenting difficulties — navigating parenting after separation or divorce

  • Sibling rivalry, jealousy, or ongoing relationship challenges

  • Emotional disconnection within the family

  • Stress from parenting neurodivergent children (ADHD, sensory needs, etc.)

  • Big life changes affecting family dynamics (moves, illness, loss, trauma)

  • Feeling like “nothing is working” despite trying everything

Whether you’re a two-parent household, a blended family, or separated parents trying to co-parent, therapy offers a safe space to reduce conflict, strengthen connection, and move forward—together.

Even if things feel messy or uncertain right now, you don’t have to carry it all alone. We’re here to support your family with care, respect, and no judgment—starting exactly where you are.

Co-Parenting Counselling

Co-parenting after separation, divorce, or while blending families brings its own challenges. You may feel stuck in old dynamics, unsure how to communicate effectively, or worried about the impact on your children.

Co-Parenting Counselling helps parents:

  • Reduce conflict and improve communication

  • Prioritize the emotional wellbeing of their children

  • Navigate the realities of shared parenting

  • Work together more effectively — even when you are no longer partners

  • Set clear, healthy boundaries that reduce stress for everyone involved

Whether your relationship ended peacefully or with difficulty, co-parenting therapy provides tools to help you move forward in a way that supports your children and protects your own emotional health.

If this has been harder than you expected, you're not alone. Co-parenting isn’t easy—but it doesn’t have to be this painful. We’re here to help you find steadier ground, so you can show up for your kids and yourself with more clarity, confidence, and peace.

Virtual & In-Person Family Counselling

We offer:

Virtual therapy is a flexible and effective option for busy families, parents living separately, or anyone wanting support from the comfort of home.

What to Expect in Family or Co-Parenting Counselling

Each family is different — and so is every therapy plan.

In your first sessions, we will:

  • Learn about your family’s story, challenges, and goals

  • Explore patterns of communication and relationship dynamics

  • Develop tailored, practical strategies to reduce conflict and strengthen connection

  • Collaboratively decide which family members will participate (parents only, full family, or parent-child focused sessions)

We create a warm, supportive space where parents, children, and caregivers feel seen and respected.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, unsure, or just hoping for a little more peace at home—you’re not alone. We’ll meet your family exactly where you are and move at a pace that feels safe and doable for everyone involved.

You don’t have to keep holding it all together on your own.

If things have been tense, heavy, or just not how you hoped—this could be the beginning of real change. Whether you're navigating parenting struggles, co-parenting challenges, or family-wide disconnect, we're here to walk with you, not judge you.

Our cozy therapy space in Stratford, Ontario and virtual sessions across the province make it easy to get the support your family deserves—wherever you are, and however life looks right now.
