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.

Sarah Jacques
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSWC-C
Parenting can be incredibly rewarding, but it’s also one of the hardest jobs in the world—especially when raising a neurodivergent child. I work with parents to strengthen communication, increase understanding, and create supportive structures at home. Using tools like the SPACE program, I help parents reduce accommodating behaviors driven by anxiety and replace them with strategies that encourage growth and resilience. Together, we’ll build a calmer, more connected family dynamic.

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.

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.

Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPCC, PPS
Parenting is a very hard, beautiful job. Parenting a child with special needs, or a 2E kid is typically an even tougher job, and it's also uniquely beautiful. I am a mom to two school-aged kids and I do get it on a personal and professional level. In the past, I've worked as a School Counselor and School-based therapist with kids and their parents at multiple Los Angeles area K-12 schools. Currently, I often support parents of HSP/Neurodivergent and/or Gifted kids.

Christine Highfill
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC-S
Parenting is deeply rewarding, but it can also be overwhelming, stressful, and filled with uncertainty. Whether you’re navigating the early years, supporting a child through adolescence, or balancing your own well-being while caring for your family, therapy can provide a space for guidance and support. I help parents develop effective strategies for communication, discipline, emotional regulation, and connection—while also addressing feelings of burnout, guilt, or self-doubt. Together, we’ll focus on strengthening your confidence as a parent, improving family relationships, and creating a healthier balance for both you and your child.

Dr. Stephanie Vaughn
Psychologist, Psy.D., DBT-LBC™
If it’s therapy between multiple family members that you need, we have therapists with experience.
Family therapy can be a great place to start or the perfect place to “end up.” When one member of the family is having issues, it affects EVERY member. How each person copes with problems is unique. If there is one thing a family therapist might share it would be this: When each person works to “own their part,” change is more likely to occur. Sometimes, it works best if individual therapy comes first—there may be a history of misunderstandings that need to be worked through before you all get together in the same room. Family therapy is even possible online. Each member can join from separate rooms, or they can sit together—just like in person. Learning the basics of healthy communication, identifying hidden resentments, and exploring unspoken family “rules” can be tough, but absolutely worth it. Let our therapists help to bring your family closer.

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.
