Parenting therapists in Meadows of Dan, Virginia VA
Dr. Brian Weir
Psychologist, PsyD
Each kid is so different. What works for one, may be a fraughtful approach with another. I can help you to understand your child (or adult child) better, and find better ways to work with and relate to them. When we run out of ideas, we often try to accomplish things with power. This likely ends in a power struggle characterized by defiance and escalation only to expose that we don't have that much power after all. There are better ways to communicate. Our models of parenting are often outdated and what we learned may actually make things more difficult. I will help you to identify what works best for you child and support you and your needs in the process.

Dr. Amy Schullery
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I help new moms and dads adjust to parenthood. Bringing a new baby into the house is stressful. We work on effective strategies to balance everything, maintain a good relationship, and adapt to an expanding family. I work with moms while they are pregnant, postpartum, and parents that have multiple children too. Dads need help adjusting too. I also work with parents with older children- to help them develop effective strategies for parenting, having good relationships with their growing kids, and adjusting to kids growing up or moving out of the home.

Parenting advice abounds. Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to apply. Plus, there are no one-size-fits-all solutions. But this is also why I love working with parents. Every child is so different, but every parent is different too! An approach that works for one family might not work for another. Whether we focus on figuring out effective parenting strategies through parent coaching, or maybe you want to address deeper emotions that the parenting realities bring up in your life in counseling, I’d love to work with you. We’ll look at what works and what doesn’t. I have strategies in my back pocket, but in our work together we’ll adjust and adapt them to your particular situation and to what resonates most with your family’s personality.
