Growth Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Being a parent of two children myself, I know all too well the struggles of parents these days. I take a non-judgmental approach to parenting issues, meeting my clients where they are at with their children. I understand that much of our parenting struggles lie in our own childhood and upbringing. By helping clients explore and process their own childhood experiences, we can create a new way to connect with our own children in a more meaningful way.

Parenting, the most rewarding and challenging job you will ever have. But sometimes, it doesn't go according to plan. Many factors can make parenting challenging. Remember, every parent struggles from time to time. Not getting help will only make you suffer and can have a damaging effect on your relationship with your children.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Parenting is one of the most rewarding and most challenging roles an adult can take on — and yet it is one of the areas where people are least likely to ask for help. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I work with parents navigating parenting stress, child behavioral challenges, co-parenting conflict, blended family dynamics, parenting after divorce, and the emotional weight of raising children through difficult seasons. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and solution-focused intervention, I help parents develop practical tools, healthier communication patterns, and greater confidence in their role. Telehealth parenting therapy available across 40+ states.

Michael Klinkner
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Parenting is so hard. It is very different from family to family. And it is very different from child to child. I believe that parents are trying their best and just need some guidance on how to do it a little bit better. I have years of training and experience in working with parents. I work to help parents address their issues from a variety of different angles and determine the underlying causes behind the problems.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed counseling for parenting challenges, family stress, and difficulties navigating the emotional and relational demands of raising children in today’s fast-paced and high-pressure world. Many parents feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure how to manage behavior challenges, communication breakdowns, discipline concerns, or emotional disconnection within the family system.
Brad takes a holistic and supportive approach to parenting and family counseling, helping parents understand the underlying stressors, emotional triggers, and relational patterns that may be impacting the home environment. Therapy focuses on creating practical, realistic strategies to improve communication, strengthen connection, reduce conflict, and build a more stable and supportive family dynamic.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation skills, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support both individual healing and healthier family functioning. When appropriate, therapy may also explore how past trauma, stress, or unresolved emotional experiences can influence parenting responses, emotional reactivity, and family relationships.
Parenting challenges often occur in the context of broader life stress, emotional overwhelm, and competing responsibilities. Brad’s approach helps clients develop greater emotional awareness, patience, and regulation while also building effective boundaries, coping strategies, and communication tools that support healthier interactions within the family system.
Therapy is collaborative, practical, and tailored to each family’s unique needs and goals. The focus is on reducing stress, improving relationships, and creating a more peaceful, connected, and emotionally supportive home environment.
The goal of therapy is to help parents feel more confident, grounded, and supported while strengthening family relationships and fostering long-term emotional health, stability, and connection.

Andrew D. Sapp
Psychologist, PhD
I'm not only a parent of three teenagers, I've also dedicated the bulk of my career to helping parents and their pre-teens and teens. I started a residential treatment center for adolescents as well as a therapeutic boarding school, was a psychologist for an outdoor adventure therapy program, was a therapist at an inner city group home for teenage boys, and the lead therapist on the adolescent wing of a locked psychiatric hospital and a group life coordinator at a juvenile corrections facility. Parenting is challenging and none of us are perfect. Great job seeking guidance and taking action to become the best parent you can be.

Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Parenting is both deeply rewarding and incredibly challenging. Even the most loving parents can feel overwhelmed, unsure, or discouraged when their child’s needs or behaviors seem difficult to manage. I specialize in helping parents understand the “why” behind their child’s emotions and behaviors, develop effective communication and discipline strategies, and restore a sense of confidence and calm within the family.
My work with parents often focuses on navigating developmental changes, improving parent–child relationships, and managing challenges such as anxiety, defiance, emotional regulation difficulties, and family transitions. For parents raising children with unique emotional or behavioral needs, therapy offers tools for setting appropriate limits while maintaining empathy and connection.
When co-parenting after divorce or separation, I provide structured support to help parents maintain consistency, reduce conflict, and protect children from adult stressors. I also assist foster, adoptive, and blended families as they navigate attachment and identity issues that can surface throughout a child’s development.
Grounded in cognitive-behavioral and family systems approaches, sessions focus on increasing emotional awareness, enhancing communication, and promoting a calmer, more connected family environment. My goal is to help parents feel equipped, supported, and empowered to raise resilient, emotionally secure children—while also caring for themselves in the process.

Parenting is deeply meaningful—and deeply demanding. I support parents who feel overwhelmed, reactive, or disconnected, helping them return to presence rather than perfection. Our work focuses on emotional regulation, communication, and building secure, attuned relationships with your children—so parenting becomes less about control and more about connection.

Amy Guido
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Helping families create a legacy of interactions that reflect their values is a great honor. When blending different parenting styles, it can be challenging to create a collaborative way of raising children that respects multiple perspectives.
Working with one family member can often make an amazing difference in the entire family dynamic. If your partner or other family members aren't open to coaching, don't let that stop you from reaching out.

Dr. Mike Lee
Psychologist
I help parents—whether on their own or with a partner—meet the challenges of parenting with steadiness and clarity. The work is depth-informed and collaborative: we make sense of what is happening at and beneath the surface—stress, uncertainty, and competing values—and turn that understanding into workable steps for communication, boundaries, and repair. The aim is durable change—less reactivity and second-guessing, more alignment, warmth, and confidence in how you respond to your children and, when pertinent, to one another.

Linda Friedman

I understand the profound impact a child's challenging behavior can have on the entire family. It strains parental relationships and takes an emotional toll on daily interactions with your child. The journey might feel overwhelming, but there is hope!

I’m committed to assisting families facing challenges such as tantrums, oppositionality, defiance, and aggression.
What sets PCIT apart is its proven effectiveness, backed by over 30 years of research.

The "secret sauce" lies in the live coaching sessions, where I’ll support you, implementing PCIT tools in real-time.

Let's talk about your parenting values and how this aligns with your parenting reality to learn some ways to increase your confidence.
