Parenting
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.

Dr. Danielle Goodwin
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Parenting is the most fulfilling and also the most difficult job. Each child's personality, learning style, strengths and weaknesses are unique. I work on helping parents to understand their child and work together as a family unit so that their child can grow to be the best version he or she is meant to be.

MN Couples & Family Therapy
Psychologist, Ph.D., L.P.
Parenting disagreement is one of the most common sources of relationship distress. I work with parents across the developmental spectrum to find solutions to common challenges. Additionally, I work with couples to find successful conflict management strategies around parenting. Part of the ADHD coaching I provide is for parents to better understand how to help support their children and build skills.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
The pressure to be the perfect parent and professional is immense and intense. Our culture covets the perfect life and cultivates a narrative that you can have it all if you just try hard enough. In my most professional capacity, I call NONSENSE on that (insert more forceful word if you'd like). Holistic Life Coaching can be a powerful experience in which we examine, explore, and elevate your own definition of successful parenting, empowering your parental presence according to YOUR values, character, and strengths. I am NOT offering therapy—I leave the work of diagnosis and treatment of medical issues to medical professionals. However, coaching can absolutely complement and supplement any therapy work you are doing; our work together will be therapeutic without being therapy. I offer tools that can increase ease, support the maintenance of positive healthy boundaries, increase satisfaction in your life, improve communication and connection with your children, and so much more. Let's talk about what being a parent means to you.

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
Boy is parenting hard! Tough love is always tougher on the parent than the child. I have been teaching parenting classes and working with parent for over 24 years. I listen to parents describe their children and their unique situation and collect the data to inform the suggestions I give them. Children need boundaries so they can test them and know they are safe and loved. They also need consequences to motivate them to learn and grow. All parents want to launch successful secure independent young adults so I teach parents how to implement early interventions to meet that goal.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Modern parenting is fraught and complicated in ways that are unprecedented. Expectations have never been higher while conflicting opinions have never been more overwhelming and easily available. Parents need support to clear out the noise and get in touch with their intuitive knowledge of their own children as well as take care of themselves to show up for their kiddos. My work with parents is practical and informative while also affirming of their own values and priorities for family life.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with parents who feel stretched thin by what parenting is asking of them. This may be because your child is neurodivergent, has medical needs, has been through a frightening or overwhelming experience, or because this stage of parenting is simply more intense than you expected. Parents I see often describe feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or on edge much of the time; not knowing how to respond to big emotions, shutdown, or challenging behaviors; worrying about a child’s ADHD, learning needs, or mental health; grieving that family life looks different from what they imagined; feeling tension with a partner or co‑parent about parenting styles, division of labor, or how to support a child; and feeling lonely or unseen in their role, even when they are doing everything they can and know to do.
I work with parents individually, and with couples who want support around how parenting is affecting their relationship. In our work together, there is room for the full range of your experience: love, worry, anger, guilt, and everything in between. We look for ways of relating to your child, and to each other, that feel more grounded, sustainable, and aligned with what matters most to you. I also work with parents who are navigating parenting while healing from their own past experiences, including trauma, complicated family histories, or critical inner voices.

Aaliyah Gilbert
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSW
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.

Mary Mesiha
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
Parenting brings both joy and challenge, and every stage comes with its own unique struggles (especially those teen years!).

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.

Michael Losoff
Psychologist, PhD
Michael shifts the focus from "fixing" children's behavior to understanding the relational dynamics and "unconscious scripts" that shape a family’s emotional life.
Parenting often feels like a series of fires to put out, but beneath the daily friction lies a complex web of generational patterns and emotional triggers. With 35 years of experience, Michael works with parents to move beyond surface-level discipline strategies and toward a deeper understanding of the parent-child relationship. By exploring how your own upbringing influences your current reactions, he helps you break free from reactive cycles and create a more intentional, secure environment for your children. Whether you are navigating the challenges of adolescence or adjusting to the shifts of early childhood, the goal is to foster a family system where both parent and child feel seen, understood, and connected.
