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.

Psychologist, PsyD
Working with children and teens also means working with parents. I have received many hours of consultation to work more effectively with parents. Being a parent informs my perspective as well.

Meghan McGinn
Psychologist, PhD
Sure, you and your partner knew parenting would have its challenges, but you were not quite prepared for how much of your energy it would take and how little you would have left for each other. Your relationship feels rocky in ways you never imagined, you are tired and overstimulated, and the additional mental load (do their clothes still fit? did I fill out that form? which brand of toasted oat cereal will they actually eat?) is soul-crushing. You may feel hesitant to add something else to your to do list, but couple therapy could be a key component of what pulls you out of that state of burnout. You need an experienced couple therapist to help you to feel heard and understood by your partner, to break out of unhelpful communication patterns, and to reclaim some of your time for your needs as an individual and as a couple.

Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience conducting therapy, psycho-educational assessments, and psychological evaluations with children and adolescents. As such, I have expertise in child development that I bring to my work with parents who are looking for help navigating the challenges that can come with raising kids. I highly encourage you to choose a therapist or parenting coach that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about you, your family, and your reasons for seeking help with parenting. Then we can plan together from there. Starting therapy or parenting work can feel daunting or overwhelming to many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you. My approach is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of both maximizing your parenting strengths and exploring options for ways to modify your parenting choices in areas that feel more challenging to you.

Debra Zand
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Parenting therapy helps parents identify, address, and manage their own past or present experiences that may be affecting the way they relate to their child. In some cases, parenting therapy may also help parents better communicate between each other to maintain a cohesive and structured parenting approach. Parenting therapy provides a judgement-free zone for parents to discuss tough moments in parenting and learn how to better manage these tough moments moving forward. Overall, parenting therapy aims to provide parents with the necessary knowledge, tools, guidance, and support to take care of themselves and their children in the most ideal way possible.

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.

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.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with parents who feel stretched thin by what parenting is asking of them. This may be because your child is neurodivergent, has medical needs, has been through a frightening or overwhelming experience, or because this stage of parenting is simply more intense than you expected. Parents I see often describe feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or on edge much of the time; not knowing how to respond to big emotions, shutdown, or challenging behaviors; worrying about a child’s ADHD, learning needs, or mental health; grieving that family life looks different from what they imagined; feeling tension with a partner or co‑parent about parenting styles, division of labor, or how to support a child; and feeling lonely or unseen in their role, even when they are doing everything they can and know to do.
I work with parents individually, and with couples who want support around how parenting is affecting their relationship. In our work together, there is room for the full range of your experience: love, worry, anger, guilt, and everything in between. We look for ways of relating to your child, and to each other, that feel more grounded, sustainable, and aligned with what matters most to you. I also work with parents who are navigating parenting while healing from their own past experiences, including trauma, complicated family histories, or critical inner voices.

Dr. Kimberlyann Marsden
Psychologist
Parenting is a journey where parents often feel like they need a roadmap to navigate the challenges that can arise. I work with parents and families to understand what their particular concerns and issues are. Then, I customize treatment to help them resolve those issues. I give very clear, practical solutions to enhance family relationships and harmony. Small changes in communication, boundaries, expectations often lead to major positive shift in family dynamics. Another part of working with parents is providing them the support they need as an individual so they can continue to remain healthy and strong while functioning as a parent.
