Parenting therapists in Smithfield, Utah UT
Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
My experience in working with parents on parenting concerns in therapy has been deeply enriching and impactful. Recognizing the profound influence of parenting on child development and family dynamics, I approach these sessions with empathy, collaboration, and a strengths-based perspective. Through open dialogue and active listening, I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where parents can explore their concerns, challenges, and goals. Drawing upon evidence-based practices and my expertise in child development, I provide practical guidance, psychoeducation, and skill-building exercises to support parents in fostering positive parent-child relationships, setting healthy boundaries, and promoting their children's social, emotional, and cognitive development.

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.
