Dr. Ashley Gulden
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Parenting can be incredibly challenging, especially without a manual and with constantly changing research on effective strategies. The pressure to be a "pinterest parent" can add to the overwhelm. If you often find yourself thinking, "I'm failing my kids," or "I'm not doing enough," let's work together to shift those negative narratives. We can focus on fostering a deeper connection with yourself and your children, explore evidence-based parenting skills, and examine the beliefs and thoughts that influence your responses as a parent. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone—let's work through it together.

Taylor Esworthy
Marriage and Family Therapist, PMFT
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.

Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Being a parent is a tough. Regardless of the age of your child(ren), it can be easy to feel stuck or overwhelmed when trying to navigate the complexities of your child's development. It's common for parents to feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or exhausted, especially when trying to discover the best approaches for you and your family. In our sessions, we partner together to work through parenting challenges while gaining deeper understanding and compassion for both you and your child. We can build additional insights into the expectations you hold for yourself and your family, while uncovering how many of these beliefs may have been shaped by your own experiences and upbringing. Using your values to guide the way, our sessions focus on developing and tailoring parenting strategies that align with the type of relationship you want to foster with your child, and that can support greater cohesion, respect for your and your child's humanness, and increased connection.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
Parenting is not for the faint of heart. In my work with parents, I focus on providing a warm, supportive, and collaborative environment to help them navigate the challenges of parenting in today’s world. I understand that parents face unique pressures and that children and adolescents today encounter complex issues, from social media influences to academic stress. I work closely with parents to use their creativity and imagination in finding engaging and meaningful ways to connect with and support their children. Whether it’s developing more engaging and impactful communication strategies or creating special bonding activities, I help parents explore approaches that resonate with their children and foster positive relationships. Additionally, I assist parents in addressing and healing their own childhood wounds, which can sometimes impact their parenting responses. By working through these personal challenges, parents can approach their roles with greater clarity and empathy, ultimately enhancing their ability to nurture and guide their children more successfully across each unique developmental stage.

Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Grief is a deeply personal experience that unfolds differently for everyone. There is no "right" way to grieve, and healing rarely follows a predictable path. My role is to provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can process your loss at your own pace, make sense of the emotions that arise, and gradually find ways to move forward while honoring the significance of what you've lost.

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.

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."

Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Parenting is one of the most rewarding yet emotionally demanding roles a person can take on. No matter how much you love your child, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or even exhausted by the weight of responsibility. Maybe you struggle with patience, feel guilt over not being the "perfect" parent, or second-guess your decisions. Perhaps you're navigating a tough stage—tantrums, teenage rebellion, or parenting through big life transitions—and you just want to feel more confident in how you show up for your child.
The truth is, there is no perfect way to parent—only a way that works best for you and your family. Together, we will explore the challenges you’re facing, strengthen your ability to set boundaries with love, and help you trust your instincts as a parent. You don’t have to do this alone. With support, self-compassion, and the right tools, parenting can feel less overwhelming and more aligned with the kind of connection and guidance you want to provide for your child.
