  • You and your co-parent aren’t on the same page, creating tension or mixed messages.

Children with big emotions often feel overwhelmed—and parents can feel unsure how to respond. Big emotions may show up as meltdowns, anger, anxiety, shutdown, or ongoing power struggles at home.
 

At Mariposa Counseling Center, we help children learn to understand and regulate big emotions while also supporting parents in navigating everyday parenting challenges.
 

We work collaboratively with caregivers to reduce stress, strengthen connection, and create calmer, more predictable responses at home—without blame or judgment.
