Cicek Erdem
Psychologist, PhD
Parenthood often changes us in ways we do not fully anticipate. Alongside love and meaning, it can bring exhaustion, anxiety, grief, resentment, loneliness, shifting identities, and questions about how we want to parent differently than we were parented. You may feel stretched thin, overwhelmed by competing demands, or disconnected from yourself or your partner. Therapy can offer space to slow down, better understand these experiences, and navigate parenting with greater intention, compassion, and support.

Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
I have many years of experience supporting parents in their journeys, from pregnancy, through raising your children into adults. I have worked with clients of all ages of development and have previously worked as the Director of Mental Health at a large urban preschool in Oakland, CA. In that role, I worked with young children and their parents in therapy, supported teachers in understanding implications of mental health in children and families from the earliest stages, and also supervised other mental health providers in the process. I am a parent myself and understand the immense job and opportunity this life stage entails as well as the challenges that can come. I have a particular expertise in parenting neurodivergent children/adolescents from a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach.

PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, DBT-LBC™, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
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.

Dr. David Amarel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
My training & experience ranges from psychotherapy & assessment of adults, couples, & teens to counseling persons with AIDS & survivors of trauma with acute PTSD. Whether you seek to overcome a specific trauma or to break a chronic life pattern, to work toward achieving your purpose, I will meet you where you are at. Parenting is the ultimate project. We’re foolish to think we can ever get it 100% right & I’d be remiss & presumptuous to suggest otherwise. But we can always do better. Many of the foundational elements of good psychotherapy: learning better insight, acuity (discernment), & self-control are key to our better parenting.

Dr Laura Soden
Psychologist, PhD, Clinical Psychology
Parenting, the most important and most difficult job in an adult's life, is intuitive only if the individual him/herself was parented perfectly. For most of us, some poor parenting strategies modeled by our own parents need to be unlearned and replaced by effective strategies. Being present for your children, listening, being clear and consistent with expectations, and, most importantly, using positive reinforcement, rather than punishment, together set up the loving environment in which children thrive. These strategies can be learned and practiced in session and exercised at home for parents that don't just feel empowered, but actually are empowered, in control, and effective .

Stephanie Miodus
Psychologist, PhD, NCSP
I specialize in partnering with parents, caregivers, nannies, and educators to develop customized strategies that promote success both at home and in school. Recognizing the critical role families play in fostering growth and well-being, I emphasize collaboration, open communication, and shared decision-making to create individualized plans that address each child’s unique needs.
In addition to offering general parenting guidance, I provide evidence-based parent training programs, such as Parent Management Training (PMT) to learn effective strategies to reduce behavioral challenges and support positive change for your child, RUBI Parent Training to help manage behavioral challenges and support developmental progress for autistic children, and SPACE to help parents reduce your child’s anxiety by changing how you respond. My approach empowers families with practical tools and strategies to address a wide range of concerns related to autism, ADHD, and other developmental disabilities. Whether navigating challenging behaviors, improving daily routines, or enhancing social-emotional skills, my goal is to strengthen family dynamics and promote positive outcomes.
I also offer family therapy to help improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships within the household. By addressing family dynamics and fostering understanding, my work supports healthier interactions and greater resilience for both children and adults.
Through a compassionate, strengths-based approach, I strive to build strong partnerships that empower parents and caregivers to feel confident and supported every step of the way.

Liberation Therapy

Parenting can bring up our deepest love as well as our deepest triggers. Many parents find themselves reacting in ways they don’t understand or repeating patterns from their own upbringing. Therapy can help you parent more intentionally, understand your own emotional responses, and build a relationship with your child that feels more connected and less reactive.
