Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW: LCSW, LSW, PEL
Our family is here to help your family. Effective family therapy techniques involve the entire family in the diagnosis of problems as well as the short-term and long-term treatment options. Our goal is to help return the family to a healthy unit. Each individual family member is an extension of the family unit and cannot be treated for family issues with the exclusion of other members.

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 Our models of parenting are often outdated and what we learned may actually make things more difficult.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.

Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Parenting issues can have a significant impact on individuals dealing with addictions, relationship issues, or depression. For instance, growing up in a dysfunctional family environment with inconsistent or neglectful parenting can contribute to low self-esteem, difficulty forming healthy relationships, and a higher risk of developing addictive behaviors or depression later in life. I'd provide a safe space for the individual to explore their experiences and emotions related to their upbringing. We would work together to identify how their past experiences may be influencing their current challenges and develop strategies to address and overcome these issues, fostering healing and personal growth.

Dr. Evette Addai
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Parenting is hard; it can be even more difficult for parents with children who have a chronic illness, a developmental delay, or mental health needs. I provide a safe, non-judgmental, inclusive space for you to discuss what stresses you out about parenting, plus we will work together to identify your strengths as well as other parts of your identity. I also provide evidence based skills around parenting children who have different diagnoses.

Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Parenting problems consist of challenges parents encounter while raising their children, including behavioral issues, communication difficulties, discipline struggles, and conflicts within the family unit. In therapy, I would offer guidance and strategies to enhance communication with their children, establish appropriate boundaries, and effectively manage behavioral issues. Moreover, I would assist them in addressing any underlying emotional issues influencing their parenting behaviors and family dynamics. The objective is to empower them to foster a healthier parent-child relationship, enhance their parenting skills, and cultivate a supportive and nurturing family environment.
