Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Parenting is one of the most rewarding yet emotionally demanding roles a person can take on. No matter how much you love your child, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or even exhausted by the weight of responsibility. Maybe you struggle with patience, feel guilt over not being the "perfect" parent, or second-guess your decisions. Perhaps you're navigating a tough stage—tantrums, teenage rebellion, or parenting through big life transitions—and you just want to feel more confident in how you show up for your child.
The truth is, there is no perfect way to parent—only a way that works best for you and your family. Together, we will explore the challenges you’re facing, strengthen your ability to set boundaries with love, and help you trust your instincts as a parent. You don’t have to do this alone. With support, self-compassion, and the right tools, parenting can feel less overwhelming and more aligned with the kind of connection and guidance you want to provide for your child.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
Parenting is not for the faint of heart. In my work with parents, I focus on providing a warm, supportive, and collaborative environment to help them navigate the challenges of parenting in today’s world. I understand that parents face unique pressures and that children and adolescents today encounter complex issues, from social media influences to academic stress. I work closely with parents to use their creativity and imagination in finding engaging and meaningful ways to connect with and support their children. Whether it’s developing more engaging and impactful communication strategies or creating special bonding activities, I help parents explore approaches that resonate with their children and foster positive relationships. Additionally, I assist parents in addressing and healing their own childhood wounds, which can sometimes impact their parenting responses. By working through these personal challenges, parents can approach their roles with greater clarity and empathy, ultimately enhancing their ability to nurture and guide their children more successfully across each unique developmental stage.

Meghan Luse
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCPC
Parenting frequently brings our own unhealed attachment wounds to the surface. It is difficult to co-regulate with your child when your own nervous system feels overwhelmed. Operating from an attachment-based framework, I work with parents to explore how their past experiences influence their current parenting dynamics, helping them find the internal groundedness needed to build secure connections with their children.

Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Parenting can bring immense joy, but it can also create stress, conflict, exhaustion, and shifts in relationship dynamics and decimate sexual connection. Couples may struggle with differences in parenting styles, values, division of responsibilities, or maintaining emotional connection while caring for children. Gottman Method couples therapy helps parents strengthen their partnership by improving communication, increasing teamwork, and creating a more supportive and connected family environment. Therapy provides space to navigate parenting disagreements with greater understanding and respect while also prioritizing the health of the couple relationship. By building stronger emotional connection and collaborative problem-solving skills, couples can feel more united and resilient in the challenges of parenting together.

Dr. Brian Weir
Psychologist, PsyD
Each kid is so different. What works for one, may be a fraughtful approach with another. I can help you to understand your child (or adult child) better, and find better ways to work with and relate to them. When we run out of ideas, we often try to accomplish things with power. This likely ends in a power struggle characterized by defiance and escalation only to expose that we don't have that much power after all. There are better ways to communicate. Our models of parenting are often outdated and what we learned may actually make things more difficult. I will help you to identify what works best for you child and support you and your needs in the process.

Tatiana Turo-Handy, PsyD., PMH-C
Psychologist, PsyD. PMH-C
Adjusting to life as a parent can be both beautiful and overwhelming. As a bilingual (Spanish/English) psychologist and PMH‑C certified clinician, I support individuals navigating the emotional challenges of early parenthood, including exhaustion, identity shifts, relationship changes, and the pressure to “get it right.” Therapy offers a steady, compassionate space to explore parenting stress, build confidence, and reconnect with yourself during this major life transition.
I also help parents manage the complex emotions that arise when returning to work after parental leave, such as guilt, anxiety, role strain, and the challenge of balancing caregiving with professional responsibilities. Together, we work toward creating routines, boundaries, and coping strategies that support your well‑being and your family’s needs.

Anne Zakaras
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, ATR-BC, PMH-C
Parenting is one of the most rewarding journeys life can offer—but it can also be incredibly isolating, overwhelming, and exhausting. Whether you are navigating the intense identity shifts of the postpartum period, struggling with the daily invisible load of raising a family, or facing deep professional and parental burnout, Anne provides a warm, non-judgmental, and deeply collaborative space just for you. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C), she partners with mothers, fathers, and caregivers to build the emotional resilience needed to show up for their children without losing themselves.
Anne’s integrative approach goes beyond standard parenting advice. By combining traditional psychotherapy with Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and creative art therapy, she helps parents regulate their own nervous systems, manage reactive parenting triggers, and process the anxiety or depression that often flies under the radar. Whether you are navigating a difficult family transition, dealing with parental grief, or balancing parenting alongside a chronic illness or medical diagnosis, Anne is dedicated to helping you develop practical coping strategies to move from a state of survival to one of connection and calm.

Parenting can be both meaningful and overwhelming, often bringing up stress, self-doubt, and competing demands. I support parents as they navigate the emotional challenges of raising children, including managing behavior concerns, strengthening connection, and balancing personal needs with family responsibilities. In our work together, we explore patterns, communication strategies, and ways to respond more intentionally rather than reactively. My goal is to help you feel more confident, supported, and grounded in your parenting approach while also making space for your own emotional well-being.
