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.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Parenting is one of the most rewarding and most challenging roles an adult can take on — and yet it is one of the areas where people are least likely to ask for help. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I work with parents navigating parenting stress, child behavioral challenges, co-parenting conflict, blended family dynamics, parenting after divorce, and the emotional weight of raising children through difficult seasons. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and solution-focused intervention, I help parents develop practical tools, healthier communication patterns, and greater confidence in their role. Telehealth parenting therapy available across 40+ states.

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.

Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
I have many years of experience supporting parents in their journeys, from pregnancy, through raising your children into adults. I have worked with clients of all ages of development and have previously worked as the Director of Mental Health at a large urban preschool in Oakland, CA. In that role, I worked with young children and their parents in therapy, supported teachers in understanding implications of mental health in children and families from the earliest stages, and also supervised other mental health providers in the process. I am a parent myself and understand the immense job and opportunity this life stage entails as well as the challenges that can come. I have a particular expertise in parenting neurodivergent children/adolescents from a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach.

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.

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.

Amy Price, AMP Family Therapy Inc.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Parenting is such a gift. It is also tremendously difficult and has different challenges than our parents had. I like to encourage parents to be the leaders, nurturers and boundary-holders they can be for their kids. Kids need, desire and benefit greatly from parenting that communicates incredible love and boundaries. Let me help you see how that is possible. I can also provide access to the Prepare-Enrich Parenting Assessment, which provides insight for the married couple parenting their own kids or the blended family's children. This can help enhance family communication, reduce parenting stress, and address child behavior concerns, while keeping the couple at the center.
