Parenting Adult Children – SherryB Psychology
Parenting doesn’t end when children turn 18 — but the role changes. Shifts in independence, life direction, and family dynamics can bring new joys as well as challenges. For some parents, there may be tension, conflict, or even estrangement. At SherryB Psychology, we help you navigate these changes while maintaining healthy boundaries, mutual respect, and emotional well-being.
Book your session today and feel more confident in your relationship with your adult child.
