Jessica Torres Kreidt
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC, NCC, CCTP (CA: LPCC#17935)
I believe in the importance of collaboration because there is no such thing as 'just a child'—there is always a child and the relationships that surround them. That’s why I work closely with parents when supporting children and teens, ensuring a holistic approach to their care. Together, we discuss treatment goals and progress, fostering a supportive environment that nurtures the well-being of the young individuals. This partnership strengthens the effectiveness of therapy, promoting positive growth and development to help children and teens thrive both in and out of therapy.

Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPCC, PPS
Parenting is a very hard, beautiful job. Parenting a child with special needs, or a 2E kid is typically an even tougher job, and it's also uniquely beautiful. I am a mom to two school-aged kids and I do get it on a personal and professional level. In the past, I've worked as a School Counselor and School-based therapist with kids and their parents at multiple Los Angeles area K-12 schools. Currently, I often support parents of HSP/Neurodivergent and/or Gifted kids.

Dr. Daniele Levy, Bay Area Cognitive Therapy
Psychologist, PhD, MBA
sing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I work with parents to identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, such as feelings of guilt or frustration. We explore ways to build resilience, improve communication, and establish healthy boundaries, empowering parents to make confident decisions and create a fulfilling family life. My goal is to help you feel more grounded and connected while navigating the endless demands of parenting.

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.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Modern parenting is fraught and complicated in ways that are unprecedented. Expectations have never been higher while conflicting opinions have never been more overwhelming and easily available. Parents need support to clear out the noise and get in touch with their intuitive knowledge of their own children as well as take care of themselves to show up for their kiddos. My work with parents is practical and informative while also affirming of their own values and priorities for family life.

David Gumpert
Psychologist, PsyD
While I do not have specialized training in this subject, I am a parent myself and understand the challenges of balancing personal needs, romantic needs, and showing up for your children. Parenting can also bring up memories or even trauma from our own childhood that hasn't been fully processed. Through understanding your own childhood, you can ensure you break any cycles of patterns so it does not interfere with your parenting moving forward.

Jennifer Warkentin

Raising humans can be tough work! No matter the age or stage of development, there can be challenges in parenting. This is especially difficult if you're parenting a child who is neurodivergent or who has disabilities. Sometimes parents cannot agree on effective strategies. As a parenting expert, I can offer some insight on managing disruptive behaviors and raising emotionally mature kids.

Su Boudreau, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Domestic Violence Counselor
Parenting can be a challenging task no matter the age of the child. Often, I have seen clients with parenting dilemmas with their adult children. Although the style of parenting tasks might look a little different between the minor and adult children, the principles of parenting education/skills are similar. Parents tend to fall into the pitfall of sacrificing too much of themselves or not knowing what is the right or best thing to do for their children's development as they focus on meeting children's requested needs. With the right professional help, there are ways to provide for the children's needs safely while cultivating healthy, respectful, and sustainable parent-child relationships.

Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Parenting is a lesson in contrast. High stress, high fulfillment, the answer to meaning and purpose and the question of ability and function. It can be lonely, isolating, and stressful. It can challenge the best of relationships. It forces us to redefine our sense of Self, and how we connect with others. Let's sort through it!

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.

Sonny Granade
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
The way we parent our children is deeply shaped by our own upbringing—both by what felt nurturing and by what may have caused harm. I work with my clients to reflect on these early experiences and to thoughtfully examine the beliefs guiding how they are raising, or hope to raise, their own children. Together, we explore how parenting—and re-parenting ourselves—can become a meaningful expression of our values, intentions, and sense of purpose, while also creating space for healing and growth across generations.
