Parenting can be one of life’s most rewarding experiences—but it can also be one of the most challenging. At Stick & Stone Counselling Services in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, we understand the emotional demands and complexities that come with raising children. Whether you’re struggling with behavioral issues, co-parenting after separation, or navigating your child’s developmental changes, parenting therapy can offer meaningful support and guidance.
Why Consider Parenting Therapy?
If you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to respond to your child’s behavior, you’re not alone. Many parents experience stress, frustration, and even guilt when parenting doesn’t go as expected. A parenting therapist can help you gain clarity, build confidence, and approach parenting challenges with greater resilience.
You may benefit from parenting therapy if you’re:
- Struggling to manage your child’s emotional outbursts or defiance
- Navigating a parenting role after divorce or separation
- Concerned about your child’s anxiety, depression, or school-related stress
- Unsure how to set healthy boundaries or communicate effectively

Strengthening Your Confidence as a Parent
Parenting comes with constant questions and self-doubt—am I doing this right? Why isn’t this working? Through therapy, we help you shift from uncertainty to confidence. You’ll gain clarity about your parenting style, learn what works best for your unique child, and develop trust in your instincts.
With practical tools and compassionate support, our therapists help you feel more capable in your parenting decisions, so you can respond to challenges calmly, consistently, and with renewed self-assurance.
Understanding Your Child’s Emotional Needs
Children often express emotional distress through behavior, making it difficult for parents to know what’s really going on. Parenting therapy helps you better understand your child’s inner world—what they’re feeling, what they need, and how to respond effectively.
We provide insight into emotional development and tools to support regulation and connection. When you understand what’s beneath the behavior, you’re better equipped to respond with empathy and guidance, helping your child feel safe, seen, and supported.
Tools for Managing Stress and Preventing Burnout
Parenting can be exhausting—especially when combined with work, relationships, and other life demands. We help you recognize the signs of parental burnout and provide tools to manage stress before it overwhelms you.
In therapy, you'll learn self-care practices, emotional regulation techniques, and time-management strategies that support your well-being. When parents are cared for, they're better equipped to care for their children. Your mental health matters and taking time for support is not only beneficial, but essential.
