Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Parenting can be an overwhelming job, navigating IEPs, advocating for children with disabilities and finding the right resources, emotionally regulating yourself and helping your child as they struggle, and managing family and sibling conflict. There is a journey of self-development that accompanies parenting at each stage. Therapy involves working collaboratively to help you reduce parenting stress, maintain your relationship and be a strong and loving resource for your children. I combine insightful, caring depth work with effective, evidence based techniques to help you establish balance, calm and happiness even in challenging situations.

KIM RICHARDSON LINDLEY
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, I CADC II
While the often used "it takes a village" might seem like a cliché, it is a truism that warrants respect. The lifespan of parenting is best shared with others, to be able to help nurture the love and attachment, guidance and protection are goals worth pursing in the therapeutic alliance.

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.

Bonnie Rae

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.

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.

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!

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.

Annalisa Barrett
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
As a parent of 2 I can directly relate to the struggles of parenting. Each developmental stage comes with its own challenges that require their own set of skills and awareness. You may need to take a look at your ability to stay consistent, maintain boundaries or need for control.

Riverside is home to UC Riverside and is the economic and cultural hub of the Inland Empire — a vast suburban region east of Los Angeles where high housing costs, long commutes, and economic pressures create distinct mental health challenges for a predominantly working- and middle-class population. The city has a significant Latino and Black population, and bilingual and culturally affirming therapists serve important access roles in communities where language and cultural fit are barriers to mainstream mental health services. Riverside University Health System provides institutional mental health resources for one of California's largest and fastest-growing counties. UC Riverside's psychology program feeds practitioners into the local community, though the Inland Empire as a whole remains underserved relative to coastal California metros.
