Jennifer Salter, MSW RSW - Parent Coaching and Psychotherapy

I am an Ontario Registered Social Worker celebrating 28 years in private practice. I work with indiv

I am a clinical social worker providing psychotherapy, counselling, and parent coaching in downtown Toronto. I am passionate about parenting, and how we raise children to be resilient, independent, kind, compassionate, and responsible young adults. I help parents of typical children as well as those with special needs, by providing evidence-based tools and strategies. I also assist with mental hea

lth issues that emerge for parents. I teach you how to manage conflict in your home, parent as a team, advocate for your children at school, and calmly address parenting issues that trigger anger and frustration. I help you support your children in a loving manner while maintaining boundaries and limits. The balance between taking care of children, partners, professional lives, and ourselves can be overwhelming. Many parents are shocked and unprepared for the stresses that arise in the process of creating a family. To complicate matters, social media places tremendous emphasis on being the perfect parent, able to effortlessly juggle competing demands. I have 3 teenagers, including 2 with special needs (autism, ADHD, LD, anxiety), and am in a unique position to understand parenting. My oldest was exceptionally challenging when he was young, and facilitating his development into a successful young adult informs my belief that with the right tools we can help our children overcome significant obstacles.

A must read:

Viktor Frankl, one of the great psychiatrists of the twentieth century, survived the death camps of N**i Germany. His little book, Man’s Search for Meaning, is one of those life-changing books that everyone should read.

Frankl once told the story of a woman who called him in the middle of the night to calmly inform him she was about to commit su***de. Frankl kept her on the phone and talked her through her depression, giving her reason after reason to carry on living. Finally she promised she would not take her life, and she kept her word.

When they later met, Frankl asked which reason had persuaded her to live?

"None of them", she told him.

What then influenced her to go on living, he pressed?

Her answer was simple, it was Frankl’s willingness to listen to her in the middle of the night. A world in which there was someone ready to listen to another's pain seemed to her a world in which it was worthwhile to live.

Often, it is not the brilliant argument that makes the difference. Sometimes the small act of listening is the greatest gift we can give.
