Lauren Blalock
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
We all want what is best for our children. We all strive to be the best parent possible. We also, all fall short of our ideals at times. This doesn’t make us bad parents, it makes us human.
The fact you are here looking for guidance as a parent, tells me you are already a pretty good one. Being a good parent is more that reading all the books, it’s about examining what’s going on for us now, how we show up in the world and even how we were raised, to understand how our unconscious selves effect our parenting. We bring all of our ourselves, even the parts we don’t like, to our role as parent. Because it can be the hardest job in the world, we can all use support as we navigate it. Please email or call today for a free consultation.

Alethea Gard'ner, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Parenting is one of the most wonderful and hardest things we embark on. I think if anyone ever told us how difficult it would be (ahead of time) there would be a lot fewer parents. At the same time, most of us can't image not having our kids because of how deeply we love them. So when something isn't going well with our children, it can be very difficult to manage our feelings. Together we can navigate your feelings, find the goals for change, and develop the steps to take to make parenting positive.

Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LCPC, PPS
Parenting support is for all of the many challenges that can occur for those of us who become parents. Parenting at each stage brings specific and unique challenges, and there are also unique challenges that we each experience as parents that are unique to each child. Parenting is a very hard, beautiful job. I support parents throughout the whole journey. I am a mom to two school-aged kids. In the past, I have worked as a School Counselor and School-based therapist with kids ages K-12, often and currently I work with parents of HSP/neurodivergent and/or gifted kids, and I've worked with tweens and teens and their parents who were navigating struggles with substance use issues. I love being a parent, and I also know how hard it can be.
