Marina Goldenberg
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC
Many parents would agree that though they read the books, and took the classes, and maybe even spent time taking care of children before having their own, they still felt unprepared for parenthood. There are as many reasons why as there are parents, but at the end of the day, it's impossible to be completely prepared for parenting because you just don't know what you don't know. And when you do know it, you still may not know how to make that knowledge work. Parenting, even at the best of times, can be exhausting and stressful, but add on all the other things that complicate our lives - careers, money worries, romantic, platonic and family relationships, other people's expectations and judgments, the lack of support, single parenthood, you name it - and things get harder and harder. And what if your child has special or different needs? It's not easy being a kid, and watching your kid struggle, either with health issues, or mental health, or academics or peer relationships, or literally any of the countless other things that kids have to navigate, can feel like an impossible task. And on top of that you're somehow supposed to take care of yourself and pay the bills? Well look, I can't take those stressors away, but I can help you figure out how to navigate the (maybe literal, maybe figurative) sh!tstorm that is modern parenting, take gentler care of yourself and cultivate a life that honors your values and your hopes and wishes for yourself, your family and your child.

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.

Cuda Counseling LCSW, PLLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Are you tired of seeing Karen's perfect little kids on Instagram and feeling that "mom shame"? You have some "Little Trouble Makers" that are 3-5 years old and feel lost, frustrated, and overwhelmed. I have the skills to help you elevate your parenting and give you back a kid that even Karen would be jealous of. I am certified in PCIT, which is a how-to manual for addressing challenging behaviors. In a sea of bad parenting advice that I see in popular culture, this is a time-tested, research-based gold standard for over 40 years in giving parents the skills they need to change their "Little Trouble Maker". All I need from you is 5 minutes per day and one hour per week for 16 weeks.

Nadira Jackson - TherapyWithDira
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
As a parent, I understand deeply how parenting can be both rewarding and exhausting, especially when you’re balancing your own healing while raising children. In our work, we’ll explore your triggers, patterns, and hopes as a parent, so you can respond with more patience and compassion rather than reacting from stress or guilt. My goal is to help you feel grounded and confident in your role, while also nurturing yourself along the way.

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 .

Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
As a parent myself, I understand how challenging and overwhelming parenthood can be. I offer support to parents navigating the emotional, relational, and identity shifts that come with raising children, especially during the early years of parenthood.
I have a particular focus on supporting mothers experiencing postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and the emotional intensity that can come with major hormonal, physical, and life changes after having a baby. During this time, so much can feel out of balance- your body is adjusting, your relationships with partners may shift, sleep and self-care become limited, and you are constantly adapting to your child’s changing developmental stages.
Parenting often comes with a deep desire to “do the right thing,” while also being surrounded by an overwhelming amount of external advice, opinions, and expectations. Many parents I work with feel anxious, uncertain, and afraid of being judged or making mistakes, even while doing their best to care for their child and manage their household.
In our work together, I aim to provide a grounded, reassuring space where you can feel supported rather than judged. We work on reducing anxiety, strengthening confidence, and reconnecting you with your own instincts. I believe that parents, especially mothers, are often their child’s greatest advocate and expert, even when self-doubt makes that hard to feel. My role is to help you trust yourself again, feel less alone, and move through each stage of parenting with more clarity, compassion, and steadiness.
