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.”

Karen Petren
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Being a parent is really tough. We all need a helping hand sometimes. As an experienced psychotherapist and a parent of a challenging young adult myself, I have helped many families find peace and harmony in the face of mental illness, divorce, and addiction. I enjoy empowering parents to explore their own family background and adapt to what’s in front of them today. I specialize in working with ADHD, OCD, and neurodivergent teens and adults.

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.

Matthew Bishop

Parenting is one of the hardest jobs in the world, and it comes without a clear manual. Therapy can help parents manage stress, strengthen communication with their kids, and find strategies that support both structure and connection at home.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
I work with adults navigating the emotional and psychological demands of parenting, including those parenting alone or alongside other significant pressures. Parenting often brings long-standing patterns into sharper focus, affecting identity, relationships, boundaries, and how people respond under stress.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore how parenting experiences interact with internal expectations, responsibilities, and emotional load. Rather than focusing on parenting techniques, sessions centre on understanding how you are impacted by the role and how different parts of you respond to it. We may work through conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most useful.

Robin Bates-Pualuan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
For some reason, kids don't come with instruction manuals. Even the best parents struggle sometimes and could benefit from an objective guide through the ambiguous world of parenting, where there are almost never clear-cut answers to the tough questions. By talking with a professional you can learn to parent in a way that respects all parties and aligns with your values.

Stephanie A. Carson
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.S., LMFT
Parenting is the hardest job you will ever do - and it doesn't come with a clear, concise instruction manual! By utilizing positive parenting techniques and attachment models, I assist parents in creating a healthy relationship with their children that is realistic and makes sense.

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.
