Stella Zweben Samuel, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I run several groups for parents providing education and support to parents of adolescents and young adults. These groups allow parents to gain answers to questions and support for the difficult job of parenting adolescents and young adults today. I also work with parents of adolescents to identify what strategies might help to strengthen the relationship between parent and child.

S. Abigail McCarrel : Welcome Home Family Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, DCSW
I have built my family therapy practice around working intensely with parents. I believe that parents are the agents of change in the family due to their status as leaders and their position of authority. Parents have it hard these days, especially since they are working with outdated tools. The parenting research has evolved tremendously over the past ten to fifteen years and parents have been left in the dark. I bring this new science into my work as I help parents shift their lens from an authoritarian style to positive, relationship-based approach. Parents learn to shift their mindset from seeing their child as misbehaving, lazy or unmotivated to stressed, fearful or confused. Children do not give their parents a hard time. They are having a hard time. Most importantly, when parents can change the way that they see their children, their children will change.

Ms. Carol Jean Timmons
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
From my own experience of parenting and grand parenting comes a heart for parents to learn how to effectively deal with their children! Never before in history has there been so much information available on the subject of parenting! And never before has there been so much confusion on the part of parents as to how best to parent - especially in this era of social media! We tend to replicate or react to the parenting we received as children. But there are tested and proven principles of parenting that can help parents learn the art and skill of dealing effectively with their children. Our goal is to raise responsible adults, not just obedient children.
