Therapy for Men
Expert Parenting and Relationship Support with Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Maryke Van Zyl
I help dads, particularly those with young kids, navigate relationships and parenting in a way that is authentic and grounded in their values.
Are you trying to parent differently than how you were parented? Despite all of your best efforts do you find yourself raising your voice at the kids, withdrawing from your wife or getting upset? Worse, your kids are reflecting your frustration.
I hear you. As a parent I know first-hand how hard this job is. You try every day to bring your A-game, but you feel like you keep falling short. That's where I come in.
Imagine having the tools to manage your emotions, connect emotionally with your kids, rekindle the connection with your partner, and best of all feel proud of the way you’re parenting.
I use a collaborative approach rooted in mindfulness and attachment to help dads explore their thoughts and behaviors, gain a deeper understanding of themselves and keep themselves accountable so that they can strengthen their most important relationships and feel better.
Why dads, you ask? I've spent my career working with retired service members, mostly millennial men who are navigating fatherhood and relationships. I became aware of the lack of support available to dads as they navigate the challenges that come with this phase of life, so I decided to dedicate my practice to providing support for dads. I'm also here for you, moms!
