Supporting You, So You Can Support Them

We believe that supporting parents strengthens families and communities. Parenting is one of the most rewarding—and challenging—roles in life. At BYS, we offer free, confidential parent counseling to help you navigate the ups and downs of raising a child or teen (ages 5-21). Whether you’re facing communication struggles, family stress, or simply looking for support, our licensed therapists are here to help.

For more information or to schedule an appointment please contact parents@bainbridgeyouthservices.org

What You Can Expect

• Strengthen your emotional well-being so you can show up fully for your child.
• Support in navigating parenting stress, family conflicts, and life transitions.
• A judgment-free space to explore your concerns and emotions.
• Evidence-based tools and strategies tailored to your family’s needs.

Is This Therapy or Coaching?

Parent counseling is different from parent coaching. While coaching provides tips and strategies for parenting challenges, therapy goes deeper—helping you process emotions, past experiences, and stressors that impact your parenting. Our licensed therapists focus on both your mental health and your family relationships, providing holistic, personalized support.

• Family therapy (sessions with parents and children together)
