Vista helps parents mindfully establish strong and healthy relationships with their children. Research demonstrates that daily parent-child interactions are a powerful predictor of a child’s future well-being. Vista therapists help parents support positive behavior, set healthy limits, and create better patterns of interaction. We strive to find creative ways to connect with the child on their level while engaging the parent’s support.

Our therapists understand the real-life complications of parenting. We work with you to apply parenting strategies that fit your circumstances. We strive to have a flexible, collaborative approach to working with children and their parents, looking for the strengths in the child and the family while developing a plan of action to improve the child’s experience.

Vista takes a family centered and behavioral approach to treatment. This means that when we work individually with children we also communicate regularly with parents. Vista therapists take a developmental perspective that is grounded in child and family observational research. We recognize and build upon existing child and family strengths to address areas of needed change.

Vista therapists are here to address a range of parenting concerns including:

Identifying developmentally appropriate expectations
Improving the child-parent relationship
Understanding and changing problematic patterns of interaction at home, with peers, and in school
Decreasing conflict between siblings
Increasing positive child behavior at home, in school, and with their peers
Developing plans of homework completion that work
Creating smoother morning and nighttime routines
Establishing better lines of communication between home and school
