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.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Parenting - "All joy and no fun" is a quote I hear often and it resonates. It has been a great joy and the hardest job. It's hard to know if we are "doing it right" and "I don't want to screw up my kid" are the most common things my clients tell me. Let's talk about your parenting values and how this aligns with your parenting reality to learn some ways to increase your confidence.

“...find out how to get out of doing busy-work.”
“...know what to do when I get teased for being smart.”
“...convince my mom that I don’t always have to get A+ .”
“...know how to get out of work I miss because of T & G class.”
“...deal with frustration when I already know the subject.”
“...know what to tell my parents when I bomb a test.”

Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
My experience in working with parents on parenting concerns in therapy has been deeply enriching and impactful. Recognizing the profound influence of parenting on child development and family dynamics, I approach these sessions with empathy, collaboration, and a strengths-based perspective. Through open dialogue and active listening, I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where parents can explore their concerns, challenges, and goals. Drawing upon evidence-based practices and my expertise in child development, I provide practical guidance, psychoeducation, and skill-building exercises to support parents in fostering positive parent-child relationships, setting healthy boundaries, and promoting their children's social, emotional, and cognitive development.

Allison Cordts - Sunrise Therapy for Mental Health
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A., LPC
Parenting can be soooo challenging, especially in this day and age as couples are often both working full-time while trying to raise socially conscious, kind, children in a thriving environment. Also, throw in the step-parenting element very common nowadays and it's gets even more challenging. I am a parent of two now almost grown children and also a stepmom to two grown children, so I understand from a personal level the intricacies of blended families after divorce or the death of a spouse.
