Dr. Ashley Gulden
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Parenting can be incredibly challenging, especially without a manual and with constantly changing research on effective strategies. The pressure to be a "pinterest parent" can add to the overwhelm. If you often find yourself thinking, "I'm failing my kids," or "I'm not doing enough," let's work together to shift those negative narratives. We can focus on fostering a deeper connection with yourself and your children, explore evidence-based parenting skills, and examine the beliefs and thoughts that influence your responses as a parent. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone—let's work through it together.

Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Parenting can bring immense joy, but it can also create stress, conflict, exhaustion, and shifts in relationship dynamics and decimate sexual connection. Couples may struggle with differences in parenting styles, values, division of responsibilities, or maintaining emotional connection while caring for children. Gottman Method couples therapy helps parents strengthen their partnership by improving communication, increasing teamwork, and creating a more supportive and connected family environment. Therapy provides space to navigate parenting disagreements with greater understanding and respect while also prioritizing the health of the couple relationship. By building stronger emotional connection and collaborative problem-solving skills, couples can feel more united and resilient in the challenges of parenting together.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
The pressure to be the perfect parent and professional is immense and intense. Our culture covets the perfect life and cultivates a narrative that you can have it all if you just try hard enough. In my most professional capacity, I call NONSENSE on that (insert more forceful word if you'd like). Holistic Life Coaching can be a powerful experience in which we examine, explore, and elevate your own definition of successful parenting, empowering your parental presence according to YOUR values, character, and strengths. I am NOT offering therapy—I leave the work of diagnosis and treatment of medical issues to medical professionals. However, coaching can absolutely complement and supplement any therapy work you are doing; our work together will be therapeutic without being therapy. I offer tools that can increase ease, support the maintenance of positive healthy boundaries, increase satisfaction in your life, improve communication and connection with your children, and so much more. Let's talk about what being a parent means to you.

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
One of the most important aspects of our work is affecting future generations. A couple’s ability to work well together directly touches their children in a profound way. After even a few months of work together we see couples feeling relief in their parenting together, their children feeling better because they feel better, and the whole family system living harmoniously together. Not only do we help couples develop intimacy, better understand one another, and breathe air and life into their relationship, but we facilitate this in their parenting styles as well.
And parenting is not for the faint of heart! We understand that the well-being of your children is unspeakably important to you and we’re also able to help you through developmental milestones, better understanding how to handle the inevitable rough spots presented to you as they grow.
If you’re in the process of divorcing, co-parenting can be one of the largest challenges. Your children give you the noblest reason to work on issues with your ex. Divorce doesn’t have to be traumatic for your kids, even if it has been for you and your partner. There are definite and concrete ways to support and guide your children through this difficult season. Being supported by a therapist can also provide a venue to safely air grievances and suss them out without fear that your fight will spill over into your parenting or ruin your week. Separation and divorce has no end to frustrations and hurts, even without children in the mix. Add your kids and it becomes almost unbearably heartbreaking and complex. We will help you navigate these rough waters for as long as you might need.

Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I work with parents at all stages, from early childhood through adolescence, helping them navigate the often complex and evolving challenges of raising children. Parenting can be deeply meaningful, but also demanding, and many parents find themselves feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or stretched in ways they didn’t anticipate.
My approach focuses on helping parents better understand their child’s emotional and developmental needs, while also making space for their own experience. I work collaboratively to strengthen connection, improve communication, and address patterns that may be contributing to conflict or stress within the family.
I also bring particular sensitivity to parenting within adoptive, donor-conceived, and other non-traditional families, where additional layers of identity, communication, and connection may emerge over time.
Above all, I aim to support parents in feeling more confident, grounded, and effective—so they can show up for their children with both clarity and compassion.

Sophie Pierce
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Parenting can be both deeply rewarding and incredibly challenging. My approach to parent coaching is grounded in attachment theory and developmental science, with the belief that children's behaviors are meaningful expressions of their needs, emotions, and experiences. I work collaboratively with parents to better understand their child's unique temperament and developmental stage, strengthen connection, and develop practical strategies that support both the child and the parent-child relationship.

Jamie Roach
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, MDiv, NCC
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.

Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Being a parent is a tough. Regardless of the age of your child(ren), it can be easy to feel stuck or overwhelmed when trying to navigate the complexities of your child's development. It's common for parents to feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or exhausted, especially when trying to discover the best approaches for you and your family. In our sessions, we partner together to work through parenting challenges while gaining deeper understanding and compassion for both you and your child. We can build additional insights into the expectations you hold for yourself and your family, while uncovering how many of these beliefs may have been shaped by your own experiences and upbringing. Using your values to guide the way, our sessions focus on developing and tailoring parenting strategies that align with the type of relationship you want to foster with your child, and that can support greater cohesion, respect for your and your child's humanness, and increased connection.

Meliora Counseling & Wellness
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS LPC
Parenting isn't easy. These kids do not come out with instruction manuals. Each kiddo needs to be parented a different way. It's not a one size fits all approach. Let's figure it out together.

Kim Salinger
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, MBA, MSN, PMHNP, FNP, AHN
Parenting can be deeply rewarding and incredibly challenging, especially when stress, anxiety, or mood changes begin to affect daily life. I work with parents who are feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or struggling emotionally, with an integrative approach that considers mental health, physical well-being, sleep, and nervous system stress. Visits focus on support, guidance, and psychiatric care when appropriate, helping parents feel more grounded, balanced, and better equipped to navigate the demands of parenting.

Sara Deese
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, MCAP, LMHC-QS
Parenting is one of the most rewarding—and most challenging—roles you'll ever take on. Whether you're navigating tantrums, teen struggles, blended family dynamics, or simply trying to parent more intentionally, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed at times. I work with parents to explore what’s working, what’s not, and how to build stronger, more connected relationships with their children. Together, we’ll develop practical tools, boost your confidence, and help you parent with greater clarity, compassion, and calm—even during the hard moments.

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.
