Anyone who is experiencing a challenge in their life would benefit from a Parathera session!
We are a whole-person focused practice and particularly effective for people who are recovering from an injury or surgery and are actively working with physical therapists, massage therapists, chiropractors, etc. Physical rehabilitation is most effective with compassion, support, and practical problem solving alongside.
We also find that people working on a job search benefit greatly from connected coaching during what can be an arduous and demoralizing process, even when working with a career coach or mentor. We can help keep you steady and confident through your search. -
We are certified in Structured Emotional Support (C-SES), which combines the best of peer support and coaching. We often think of listening and offering support as something anyone can do, but doing it well, ethically, and in a way that actually helps someone stabilize or feel seen? That takes real skill.
C-SES provides a framework for empathy, emotional containment, strengths-based problem solving, encouragement, and boundary management, all rooted in strong ethics and practices.
We are highly skilled in guiding conversations with warmth, empathy, and structure which means you get high-quality support and coaching without the cost, waitlists, or clinical focus of therapy.
We are also trained in risk assessment and escalation for safety and we are happy to connect clients with clinical professionals if needed. -
Parathera is focused on stability and targeted, strengths-based problem solving, especially while you are already managing a life challenge.
Not every emotional struggle requires the level of care therapy offers and not every person is looking to reach a new goal or optimize their life.
Parathera combines the best aspects of peer support and coaching to help you while you do your work. A space to be heard, to process, to feel lighter and capable. Parathera offers real human connection, warmth, and practical guidance, a perfect complement to therapy or a useful tool on its own. -
Because focused conversations are the most impactful. 30 minutes keeps things targeted and actionable, helping you feel supported without the overwhelm.
But there are times when you need to talk through and we offer 50 minute sessions when you need them, -
