PARENT CONSULTATIONS

For College-Aged & Adult Children

Your child is in therapy, growing up, figuring it out. But you’re still… worried. Unsure. Sometimes helpless. You want to support them—but not enable them. You want to hold boundaries—but not push them away. You want them to fly—but not fall apart.

Parenting doesn’t end when your kid turns 18. But it does shift. And no one really tells you how. This is where we come in.

What These Consultations Are For:

Understanding what’s developmentally appropriate (vs. what feels personally triggering)
Learning how to emotionally support your adult child without becoming their therapist
Navigating boundaries around finances, communication, decision-making, and independence
Exploring your own fears, guilt, or over-functioning tendencies
Supporting a child who’s in therapy, in crisis, or in the middle of a major life transition
Processing your role as a parent now—who you are to them, and who you’re becoming

What to Expect:

These are one-on-one sessions with Dr. Melissa Gluck—licensed psychologist and founder of Gluck psychology collective—to support you in navigating this new stage of parenting.

We’ll explore patterns, questions, and emotions that are coming up for you—while also equipping you with practical strategies to stay grounded, compassionate, and clear in your relationship.

You don’t need to be in a crisis to seek support. You just need to want something better—for them and for you.

Why Dr. Gluck?

Dr. Melissa Gluck has trained extensively in university counseling centers and now specializes in helping Gen Z and millennial clients navigate life transitions, therapy, independence, and identity development. She understands the emotional and developmental terrain your child is working through—often more clearly than even the most well-meaning parent.

She knows what they’re struggling with, how they think, and what they actually need. Consider her your clinical inside scoop. She’s not here to critique your parenting—she’s here to help you understand your evolving role with clarity, empathy, and confidence, so you can support your child without losing yourself in the process.
