A Secure Base, LLC Julie Mahoney LPC

Office at 1834 Bluebird Road John's Island in South Carolina. It is a parent's job to figure out their child. We are tasked with becoming the expert at how best to support them. Is your child experiencing behavioral challenges and you’re not feeling confident to handle them alone? Are you at a loss? Do you feel like you've tried everything? Is your child experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, or grief? Do you feel you need support and skills while raising your children? Parenting is the hardest job in the world that doesn't require a license. What gives your child a sense of "felt safety," connection, and co-regulation? Every child is unique. My job is to partner with parents and help foster connection and find a way in. Whether it's through creating an environment of complete acceptance or using journaling, poetry, or music to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and improve overall social, emotional, communication, and coping skills. "Between stimulus and response lies a space. In that space lie our freedom and power to choose a response. In our response lies our growth and our happiness." - Viktor Frankl Are you responding to your child in the way that you want to? We hold up a mirror to our children of who they are. When they look into the mirror that you are holding up, what do you think they see reflected back to them? A fine young man? A fine young lady? Capable of doing great things? A joy to parent? A good student? A valued member of our family? If no, let's make a family systems shift and it will take each and every member of the family making changes if we expect to see systemic change. I have a big, beautiful blended family and as a parent of five children, I can empathize on a deep level with how challenging parenting can be!
