Parenting
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 Our models of parenting are often outdated and what we learned may actually make things more difficult.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. 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. Mike Lee
Psychologist
I help parents—whether on their own or with a partner—meet the challenges of parenting with steadiness and clarity. The work is depth-informed and collaborative: we make sense of what is happening at and beneath the surface—stress, uncertainty, and competing values—and turn that understanding into workable steps for communication, boundaries, and repair. The aim is durable change—less reactivity and second-guessing, more alignment, warmth, and confidence in how you respond to your children and, when pertinent, to one another.

Tenikka Denard
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LCMHC
Parenting is tough and comes with no instruction manual. Wouldn't it be easier if it did? While everyone has to find their own method and strategies in parenting, I can help you learn different tools that can make that process a bit easier. I utilize Filial Therapy to help parents learn effective and gentle strategies in raising their kids. Let's discuss how I can help you find the joy in parenting again.

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.

Kimberly Dudley

Parenting can be rewarding, but it can also be challenging, stressful, and emotionally draining. Therapy can help you navigate parenting challenges, improve communication within your family, strengthen boundaries, manage parenting stress, and create healthier family dynamics that support both you and your children.

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.

Amanda Shrekenhamer
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC
I repeatedly hear my clients who are parents (especially those who are parents of young children), that they often feel unsupported and left behind, both by those who surround them, and by society as a whole. Being a parent isn't easy in the best of times, but being a parent in the current times can feel impossible. To all of the parents out there, I see you, and recognize the unique struggles you have had to confront. I often help parents find their way through parental burnout, balance parenting obligations with demanding work schedules, and find a sense of peace amongst the anxiety and uncertainty that can accompany raising children.
