Amy @ Inner Nature Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
As a parent of two boys, ages 8 and 12, I have a wealth of personal experience in additional to my professional experience supporting parents from TTC, pregnancy, postpartum, all the way through parenting teenagers. I'm well-versed in developmental stages and practical interventions to support parents not only with "parenting," but also with the experience of "parenthood" - reminding you that you are a whole person, not just a parent!

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anytime we work with a child, we want to work with the parent, not because the parent might be doing something wrong, but because as a parent you have the single greatest influence in your child's life. Anything that goes from me to your child just is not nearly as effective as anything that goes from you to your child. So we partner with the parents and the child and utilize a collaborative plan.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
In the labyrinth of motherhood, many women find themselves navigating through its lesser-spoken, shadowy corridors, confronting the underworld of motherhood where challenges like role adjustment, traumatic births, breastfeeding struggles, and feelings of inadequacy and isolation loom large. My practice offers a beacon of support and understanding for mothers and stepmothers grappling with these harsh realities, providing a safe, compassionate space to voice and heal from the unanticipated trials of mothering. Beyond the immediate demands of parenthood, I delve into the emotional layers underpinning the journey, including the navigation of complex trauma, the healing of ancestral and mother wounds, and the spiritual dimensions of conception and fertility. Whether it's breaking the cycles of past traumas, reconciling with the emotional aftermath of pregnancy loss, or embarking on the sacred journey of connecting with one’s spirit baby, my approach is holistic, recognizing the profound interconnection between personal healing and nurturing life. I stand with those courageous enough to transform their shadows into strength, guiding them towards healing, belonging, and a deeper, more fulfilling experience of motherhood and stepmotherhood.

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.

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.

Marc Feinberg
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, CBC
“You won’t always get it right, but you’ll always have the chance to make it right. Parenting isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence. It’s the daily act of showing up with love, patience, and grace, even when you’re exhausted or unsure. Every moment you choose connection over correction, you’re building something sacred: trust and unconditional love.”

Chloe Lankshear
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.Ed, Ed/S, LMFT
As a parent myself, I know that parenting is not always easy and most parents have moments when they are unfortunately not the parents they would ideally like to be. The key is to learn from those times, work out what led to them and figure out a better way forward. If we work together on parenting, I will do a comprehensive assessment to get to know you, your background story and goals so I have all of the relevant information. Then, I put together a draft treatment plan, with input from you, so the details will depend on the person. I'm non-judgmental and just focussed on helping you get to where you want to be in your parenting. You obviously can't control your children, but you can control the decisions and actions you take as a parent. I hope to help you to get to a place where you feel comfortable and good about yourself as a parent.

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.

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.

Bonnie Rae
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I love working with parents. I am a parent myself, and without support, I am not sure how the role of parent is manageable. I have extensive experience working with new parents, parents of neurodivergent children (specifically autism and ADHD), parents navigating advocating for support for their children, lesbian parents, queer parents, trans parents, parents who have lost a sense of identity outside of parenthood, navigating parenting with careers, and navigating parenting with illness.

Catherine DeMonte, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA., LMFT
Our children do not come with a manual when they are born. And we may very well NOT want to parent as we ourselves were parented. So, WHAT then? Knowing some important developmental stages our children go through can be helpful. This can help normalize some of their behavior for us.
Learning how to effectively but kindly direct and discipline our children is also paramount. And learning how to speak to our kids so that we are heard but they are as well, thereby keeping battles at bay are a few of the very many issues I help parents with.

Luis Maimoni
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
When your children were born, were you given the official parenting class? The one that answers all your questions about how to raise a child? No?
When mine were born, I wasn't given the class either. I wish I could have seen me about my children back in the days when it would have done me some good!

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.
