Parenting is hard! There isn't a user manual that comes when our children are born. But neither is it something that should be mysterious. With training and help, just about any dad and mom can be excellent parents.

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anytime we work with a child, we want to work with the parent, not because the parent might be doing something wrong, but because as a parent you have the single greatest influence in your child's life. Anything that goes from me to your child just is not nearly as effective as anything that goes from you to your child. So we partner with the parents and the child and utilize a collaborative plan.

Middle Path Wellness Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW, LPC, PLPC
We specialize in supporting parents who feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure of how to navigate the emotional and relational challenges of raising children. Parenting often brings up unexpected triggers, self-doubt, and the pressure to “get it right,” especially while balancing work, relationships, and the mental load of daily life. Many parents find themselves reacting in ways they didn’t intend or feeling disconnected from the kind of parent they want to be. Our approach helps parents understand both their child’s emotional needs and their own, strengthen attachment and communication, and respond with greater confidence and calm. Therapy provides a space to reflect, reset, and develop tools that support a more connected, intentional, and sustainable parenting experience.

Parenting can bring up stress, guilt, and even parts of your own childhood. I work with parents to better understand their reactions, strengthen connection with their children, and feel more confident in how they show up. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about feeling more supported and present.

Erica Hart

Becoming a parent often opens up feelings about our own parents. We often are trying to "do better" for our kids, but this can have its challenges.

Merritt Posten Benz
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSCSW, CDWF, MCLC
Within any family there are many moving parts, and each members' experiences and struggles have an impact on the functioning of the whole family unit . This is both good news and bad news. The good news is change in one area, or in one member, impacts the family as a whole. The hard part is stepping out and finding a place to start - and I'm here to say, "it won't be as hard as it feels right now."

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.

Tracy Hadel
Counselor/Therapist, LSCSW
Parenting the child/teen/adult with special needs requires an individualized approach. It is not easy, and many people who have not experienced having a child with disabilities tend to criticize and offer unsolicited and inappropriate advice to those parents. I can help provide guidance and resources for those parents.
