Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in parenting issues, my approach is founded on collaboration, empathy, and evidence-based interventions. Through a combination of parent education, coaching, and family therapy, I support parents in navigating challenges and fostering healthy relationships with their children. By providing a safe space to explore parenting styles, communication patterns, and family dynamics, I help parents gain insight into their strengths and areas for growth. Together, we develop practical strategies to address behavior management, enhance parent-child interactions, and promote positive development. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of self-care and stress management techniques to support parents in navigating the demands of parenthood effectively. My goal is to empower parents with the tools and confidence they need to cultivate nurturing and resilient family.

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 Our models of parenting are often outdated and what we learned may actually make things more difficult.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.

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.

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
One of the most important aspects of our work is affecting future generations. A couple’s ability to work well together directly touches their children in a profound way. After even a few months of work together we see couples feeling relief in their parenting together, their children feeling better because they feel better, and the whole family system living harmoniously together. Not only do we help couples develop intimacy, better understand one another, and breathe air and life into their relationship, but we facilitate this in their parenting styles as well.
And parenting is not for the faint of heart! We understand that the well-being of your children is unspeakably important to you and we’re also able to help you through developmental milestones, better understanding how to handle the inevitable rough spots presented to you as they grow.
If you’re in the process of divorcing, co-parenting can be one of the largest challenges. Your children give you the noblest reason to work on issues with your ex. Divorce doesn’t have to be traumatic for your kids, even if it has been for you and your partner. There are definite and concrete ways to support and guide your children through this difficult season. Being supported by a therapist can also provide a venue to safely air grievances and suss them out without fear that your fight will spill over into your parenting or ruin your week. Separation and divorce has no end to frustrations and hurts, even without children in the mix. Add your kids and it becomes almost unbearably heartbreaking and complex. We will help you navigate these rough waters for as long as you might need.

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.
