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.

Parent Support Program
The UCEBT Parenting Program provides support for parents in conjunction with their child’s individual treatment or as a stand-alone support. At some point in parenting, all parents will experience unique challenges with their child. Depending on our child’s temperament, stage of development, and our child’s experiences, these challenges may show up as problematic behaviors (e.g., feeling down, acting out, refusing to go to school, excessing arguing, isolating). These behaviors can be unexpected and even very different from other children in the same family. At times, these behaviors can persist and cause problems for the whole family, despite our best efforts. In fact, sometimes our best efforts (e.g., taking things away, giving extra leeway), can lead to even more problematic behaviors and a sense of hopelessness or frustration in ourselves as parents. Fortunately, involving parents in the treatment process has consistently been shown to successfully reduce these behaviors, in fact, more successfully than individual treatment for the child or adolescent alone. These treatments allow the parents to gain emotional support and the tools they need to manage their child’s behavior.
Therapists at UCEBT are compassionate about, and committed to, providing this support for parents so that they can more quickly reduce children’s problem behaviors and regain their healthy and happy family relationships.
Therapists in this program are trained in evidence based treatments including:
Triple P (Positive Parenting Program)
Incredible Years Training Series
Family Systems Therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)

If it’s therapy between multiple family members that you need, we have therapists with experience.
Family therapy can be a great place to start or the perfect place to “end up.” When one member of the family is having issues, it affects EVERY member. How each person copes with problems is unique. If there is one thing a family therapist might share it would be this: When each person works to “own their part,” change is more likely to occur. Sometimes, it works best if individual therapy comes first—there may be a history of misunderstandings that need to be worked through before you all get together in the same room. Family therapy is even possible online. Each member can join from separate rooms, or they can sit together—just like in person. Learning the basics of healthy communication, identifying hidden resentments, and exploring unspoken family “rules” can be tough, but absolutely worth it. Let our therapists help to bring your family closer.

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.
