Parent Coaching

Parenting is one of the hardest jobs—and there is no perfect way to do it. Many parents come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, unsure if they are handling things the "right" way, or struggling to understand what their child needs.

The Curious Cat Therapy provides support for parents who want to strengthen their relationship with their child, improve communication, and feel more confident in their parenting approach.

The goal is not to tell you how to parent. Instead, I want to help you better understand your child, reconnect when things feel difficult, and find approaches that work for your family.

Together, we can explore:

  • Understanding your child’s emotions and behaviors

  • Responding instead of reacting

  • Setting healthy boundaries and expectations

  • Improving communication

  • Supporting your child's mental health while also caring for your own

  • Letting go of guilt and giving yourself more grace

About

Hello! My name is Adriana Lara and I am the owner of The Curious Cat Therapy, offering counseling services for individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Tampa and provide virtual therapy in Florida, New York, and Massachusetts.


I work with  folks who are feeling stuck and can’t seem to get out of their own way. I meet people where they are, helping to sit with the feelings to be able to let go of the hurt, pain, or frustration. My approach is warm, I will challenge you, while using a dash of silliness and humor. 

At The Curious Cat Therapy we lean into curiosity to explore what has led you here. As a therapist, I try not to take life too seriously. I believe humor can help ease tension, create connection, and make it a little easier to talk about the hard stuff. I’ll help you recognize your strengths, challenge unhelpful patterns, and build tools you can actually use in everyday life.
