Ditto what Mal said, and I would specifically recommend a family therapist. They view the family as a system, because it's rare that one individual is the full source of all the problems. It appears that "triangulation" is at work in your case. Mom points to son as problem, points to Dad as causing problem, son points to mom as source of problem. And around we go. Systems therapists usually can get to how each member is contributing to ongoing problem. And there are NO secrets between the parents and child.
My two cents
