Learn to identify and work with your autopilots underneath your 'natural' parenting style. Yes, it got there naturally and it may not be true to your desires and intentions to raise resilience and caring children.

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.

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 Our models of parenting are often outdated and what we learned may actually make things more difficult.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

Peg Roberts
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I work with parents of adult children who have trouble knowing when to step in and when to step out of their child's life. It's a balancing act. But learning healthy boundaries can help alleviate anxiety, worry or fear as adult children make decisions for themselves and their families. It's a great relief.
