Within any family there are many moving parts, and each members' experiences and struggles have an impact on the functioning of the whole family unit . This is both good news and bad news. The good news is change in one area, or in one member, impacts the family as a whole. The hard part is stepping out and finding a place to start - and I'm here to say, "it won't be as hard as it feels right now."

As a parent myself, both biological and step-mother, I understand the difficulties in parenting children of all ages. I guide parents navigate this very hard journey by improving their communication and relationship with their children, and forming a stronger, more secure bond.

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.
