Parenting Is Hard.
You Don't Have to Figure It Out Alone.
Most parents who reach out to us aren't failing - they're exhausted and want to do better. Here's what we hear most:
As a Parent, Do You Feel⬦
Like nothing you try actually works with your child's behavior
Guilty about how much you yell or lose your patience
Disconnected from your child or teenager despite trying hard
Uncertain about how to set limits without damaging the relationship
Overwhelmed by competing demands and running on empty
As a Co-Parent, Are You Dealing With⬦
Ongoing conflict with your ex that keeps pulling children into the middle
Children who behave very differently at each home
Inability to agree on rules, discipline, or schedules
Using children as messengers or feeling pressured to do so
Guilt about how the separation is affecting your kids
What You'll Gain From
Parenting Therapy
Parenting support therapy isn't about telling you what you're doing wrong - it's about giving you evidence-based tools that actually work in real family life.
Understand Your Child's Behavior
Learn why your child or teen acts the way they do and how to respond in ways that de-escalate instead of escalate.
Communicate Effectively
Develop age-appropriate communication strategies that help children feel heard while maintaining appropriate boundaries.
Set Limits With Confidence
Learn how to set consistent, loving boundaries without power struggles - and how to follow through when they're tested.
Break Negative Cycles
Identify patterns in your parent-child dynamic that are creating conflict and replace them with healthier interaction patterns.
Build Resilient Kids
Practical parenting approaches that help children develop emotional regulation, confidence, and skills to handle life's challenges.
Take Care of Yourself
Parenting from an empty cup doesn't work. We help you identify your own triggers, manage stress, and parent from a more grounded place.
Putting Kids First When
Co-Parenting Is Hard
Research consistently shows that how parents handle conflict after separation has a far greater impact on children's wellbeing than the separation itself. Children are remarkably resilient when adults around them can cooperate - even when they can't be together.
Our co-parenting counseling focuses on one thing: helping children thrive. That means helping both parents develop communication strategies that keep conflict away from children, establish consistent routines across homes, and work as a team on the things that matter most - your kids' wellbeing.
Reduce co-parenting conflict and its impact on children
Establish consistent parenting approaches across households
Create effective communication systems with your co-parent
Navigate transitions, schedule changes, and disagreements
Help children adjust to new family configurations
Introduce new partners and blended family dynamics safely
The Research on Co-Parenting
Children's adjustment after parental separation is most strongly predicted by the quality of co-parenting - not by the separation itself.
A Partner in Your
Parenting Journey
Katrina specializes in supporting parents, children, and young adults at the Fresh Breath Therapy Winston Salem location. Her background as a former school counselor gives her a unique window into how parenting dynamics play out in children's behavior, academic performance, and social development.
She takes a collaborative, strengths-based approach with parents - focusing on what's working, building on existing family strengths, and adding practical tools from CBT and Motivational Interviewing. She creates a non-judgmental space where parents can be honest about their struggles without shame, and leave with tools they can actually use.

Real Results.
"I came in feeling like a complete failure as a parent. The tools I learned didn't just help with my daughter - they changed how I see myself as a mom. I actually enjoy parenting now."
"My ex and I couldn't be in the same room without fighting. Co-parenting therapy didn't make us like each other - it gave us systems that keep our kids out of the middle."
"My teenager and I had no idea how to talk to each other. Three months in and we're not just less argumentative - we actually have conversations. I didn't think that was possible."
