Dr. Lynne Logan
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Parenting will be one of the most challenging events of your life -- often a life long journey. With today's stressful outside influences, parents are often confused about what to do or how to help their children. Children and teens are faced with options and decisions never before a part of childhood. Parents need helpful tools and ideas -- and how to be consistent in parenting.

David Oretsky Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
As a therapist specializing in parenting support, I am deeply committed to helping parents navigate the richly complex journey of raising children. My practice is strongly influenced by the principles put forth by Dr. Becky Kennedy in her book "Good Inside," and Shefali Tsabary's enlightening work "The Awakened Family". I strongly believe in fostering emotional intelligence, promoting internal growth, and nurturing healthy communication within families, as underscored in these seminal works.
I see my role as not just helping parents manage daily parenting struggles, but more importantly, to guide them in cultivating a deeper understanding of their own emotions and reactions. By doing so, they can model emotional health to their children, foster stronger bonds, and cultivate a more balanced and harmonious family environment.
Whether you're dealing with tantrums, power struggles, behavioral issues, or relationship concerns, my approach is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where we can collaboratively address these challenges. Drawing from the wisdom of Dr. Becky's and Dr. Tsabary's principles, we'll work together to explore mindful parenting strategies that focus on connection, empathy, and understanding.
Remember, the goal of parenting is not perfection, but growth – both for you as a parent and for your child. With patience, compassion, and understanding, we can navigate this journey together towards a healthier, happier family life.

Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Being a parent is tough! You are constantly prioritizing the needs and demands of your little (or not so little) ones and don't often have time for yourself. Being a parent somehow can sometimes bring out our own unmet childhood needs (such as having emotionally unavailable parents ourselves) especially as we actively work to unlearn generational traumas. Perhaps you just need a safe space that's completely yours to just process life or to make space to fill your cup. Therapy with me can be the pause and reset you need to keep going.

Jaclyn Epstein-Calvert
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Parenting can be deeply meaningful, but it can also feel overwhelming, especially when children are experiencing big emotions, behavioral challenges, or developmental differences. I work with parents who want to better understand their child’s emotional world while also finding more confidence and calm in their parenting.
My approach integrates attachment-based therapy and neuroscience-informed perspectives to help parents understand their child’s behavior through a developmental and nervous system lens. Together, we explore practical strategies that support emotional regulation, strengthen parent-child connection, and reduce family stress. I also support parents raising neurodivergent children, including those with ADHD or autism, helping families create environments where children feel understood, supported, and able to thrive.

Laura Fleming
Pre-Licensed Professional, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Parenting is one of the most meaningful and demanding roles a person can take on. I work with parents who feel overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, suffering from relentless "mom guilt," or unsure if they’re doing “enough.” I believe that supporting parents is one of the most powerful ways to shape resilient, healthy children. Through emotionally focused and evidence-based work, I help parents care for themselves, clarify their values, strengthen their relationships, and create healthier patterns that positively impact themselves and their children.
