Cecelia Myers
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC (NC), RPT-S, LPC (GA), Licensed telehealth provider SC
Involving parents in the therapeutic process is very important for lasting change and positive family relationships. The theme behind my work with parents is relationship based. We work on communication in the family and how everyone can make choices that are best for the relationships in the family. I assist in developing strategies to improve child behavior and parent/child relationships.

Allison Freeman
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHCA
As a parenting coach and therapist specializing in supporting families with intense or high-energy children, my approach is rooted in understanding and empowering both parents and children. In our sessions, I create a collaborative and non-judgmental space where parents can explore effective strategies for nurturing their child's unique temperament.
Together, we work to identify the strengths and challenges of intense children, recognizing that their energy and enthusiasm can be channeled into positive outlets. I provide guidance on fostering a supportive home environment that encourages self-expression, emotional regulation, and effective communication.
My focus is on equipping parents with practical tools to navigate the intensity, including setting clear boundaries, implementing consistent routines, and promoting healthy outlets for energy. We discuss effective communication techniques that foster understanding and connection between parents and their intense children.
Throughout the coaching process, I aim to empower parents to embrace and celebrate their child's intensity while finding strategies to manage challenging behaviors. By fostering a harmonious and supportive family dynamic, the goal is to create an environment where both parents and intense children can thrive and build strong, positive relationships.

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.
