As parents of adult children, there are times when we struggle in our relationships with them. There may be sustained conflict, and ingrained patterns of relating that have thwarted your ability to enjoy each other. We will review these patterns of communication, conflict, and discuss new ways of approaching your interactions with your adult children in order to have a more meaningful relationship with them.

Lauren Rance
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist (PsyD, LP)
I specialize in working with parents of deeply feeling and thinking kids. Many of these parents describe their kids as emotionally intense with strong opinions about how things should go. These children might have a formal diagnosis (like ADHD or anxiety) or might not. I help parents learn strategies to strengthen the parent-child relationship through play and set consistent, firm, age-appropriate limits.

Gifted kids have special needs. Here are some of the things that Talented and Gifted children have told us they need help with. They need to:
“...get my teachers to listen to me about being bored.”
“...not get so stressed out about every thing.”
“...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.”
“...know how to get along better with kids who aren’t T & G.”
“...quit acting dumb to get other kids to like me.”
“...not feel embarrassed when kids say, ‘What’s Target Class?’”
“...know how to get along like a regular person.”
“...know what to say when I make a mistake.”

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.

Jennifer Plumb Vilardaga, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
I love working with parents to manage their stress about being a parent, whether parenting small children and teens or improving relationships with emerging adult and fully grown adult children. Being a parent is a challenge for most of us, particularly those managing multiple life roles (such as paid work, home management, schooling, and other relationships). I am not an expert in WHAT you should do to parent your children well; I am an expert in helping you figure out HOW you want to be as a parent and empower you to seek additional support and resources that might help you achieve your goals. I can help you clear the fog to determine your inner compass for what matters to you most, and hopefully you will find ways to find balance, show up with your children in ways that are important to you, and be the best you you can be as you parent. If you need higher intensity resources for parent-child interactions or higher level skills for managing your child's very difficult behavior, I can help you figure out how and where you might succeed in bringing those specialty services to help your family.

Psychologist, PhD
Boy is parenting hard! Tough love is always tougher on the parent than the child. I have been teaching parenting classes and working with parent for over 20 years. I listen to parents describe their children and their unique situation and collect the data to inform the suggestions I give them. Children need boundaries so they can test them and know they are safe and loved. They also need consequences to motivate them to learn and grow. All parents want to launch successful secure independent young adults so I teach parents how to implement early interventions to meet that goal.

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.

PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
If it’s therapy between multiple family members that you need, we have therapists with experience.
Family therapy can be a great place to start or the perfect place to “end up.” When one member of the family is having issues, it affects EVERY member. How each person copes with problems is unique. If there is one thing a family therapist might share it would be this: When each person works to “own their part,” change is more likely to occur. Sometimes, it works best if individual therapy comes first—there may be a history of misunderstandings that need to be worked through before you all get together in the same room. Family therapy is even possible online. Each member can join from separate rooms, or they can sit together—just like in person. Learning the basics of healthy communication, identifying hidden resentments, and exploring unspoken family “rules” can be tough, but absolutely worth it. Let our therapists help to bring your family closer.
