Therapeutic Parenting Time
By Peaceful Waters provides Therapeutic Parenting Time for parents in Kitchener-Waterloo and throughout the region. This service was formerly known as therapeutic access. We help parents build connection with their children in a child-focused manner that shelters children from adult conflict in accordance with all court orders and parenting agreements.

Therapeutic Parenting Time
Therapeutic Parenting Time is a practical intervention that focuses on helping a parent and child(ren) re-establish a positive connection that is safe and healthy. This service is best suited to parents and children who experience relational disconnection and are unsure how to rebuild the relationship.
Parents receive parenting coaching outside of scheduled time with their child(ren) to discuss and practice attachment-based parenting skills that can be applied during Therapeutic Parenting Time sessions. Activities and ideas are also presented during sessions with the child(ren) that promote connection that fits their age and stage.
When appropriate, Therapeutic Parenting Time is used in combination with other forms of Individual or Family therapy.
