Melissa LaCour
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Parenting is one of the most humbling experiences a person can have — and one of the least supported. I work with parents navigating the emotional weight of raising children, particularly adoptive and foster parents whose parenting journey carries layers that traditional parenting resources rarely address. Whether you're trying to understand a child's behavior through an attachment lens, navigating conversations about identity and belonging, or simply trying to show up for your family while also taking care of yourself, this is a space where parenting's real complexity gets the attention it deserves.

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.

Andrew D. Sapp
Psychologist, PhD
I'm not only a parent of three teenagers, I've also dedicated the bulk of my career to helping parents and their pre-teens and teens. I started a residential treatment center for adolescents as well as a therapeutic boarding school, was a psychologist for an outdoor adventure therapy program, was a therapist at an inner city group home for teenage boys, and the lead therapist on the adolescent wing of a locked psychiatric hospital and a group life coordinator at a juvenile corrections facility. Parenting is challenging and none of us are perfect. Great job seeking guidance and taking action to become the best parent you can be.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed counseling for parenting challenges, family stress, and difficulties navigating the emotional and relational demands of raising children in today’s fast-paced and high-pressure world. Many parents feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure how to manage behavior challenges, communication breakdowns, discipline concerns, or emotional disconnection within the family system.
Brad takes a holistic and supportive approach to parenting and family counseling, helping parents understand the underlying stressors, emotional triggers, and relational patterns that may be impacting the home environment. Therapy focuses on creating practical, realistic strategies to improve communication, strengthen connection, reduce conflict, and build a more stable and supportive family dynamic.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation skills, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support both individual healing and healthier family functioning. When appropriate, therapy may also explore how past trauma, stress, or unresolved emotional experiences can influence parenting responses, emotional reactivity, and family relationships.
Parenting challenges often occur in the context of broader life stress, emotional overwhelm, and competing responsibilities. Brad’s approach helps clients develop greater emotional awareness, patience, and regulation while also building effective boundaries, coping strategies, and communication tools that support healthier interactions within the family system.
Therapy is collaborative, practical, and tailored to each family’s unique needs and goals. The focus is on reducing stress, improving relationships, and creating a more peaceful, connected, and emotionally supportive home environment.
The goal of therapy is to help parents feel more confident, grounded, and supported while strengthening family relationships and fostering long-term emotional health, stability, and connection.

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.

“...know what to do when I get teased for being smart.”
“...convince my mom that I don’t always have to get A+ .”
“...know how to get out of work I miss because of T & G class.”
“...deal with frustration when I already know the subject.”
“...know what to tell my parents when I bomb a test.”
“...know how to get along better with kids who aren’t T & G.”

Abigail Hust
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LISW-S, CST
Adjusting to parenting is often a large relational shift for couples and working with this transition can support individuals and couples in finding their identity during this transition and beyond. Parenting continues to be a process of confronting our own 'stuff' and working to heal while also breaking cycles.

Jason Powell
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CST
Parenting can reveal the best and hardest parts of ourselves. The same patterns that shape our adult relationships — conflict, distance, sensitivity, avoidance - often surface in how we relate to our children. Therapy provides space to explore those dynamics with compassion and intention, helping you parent from a place of steadiness rather than reactivity. My approach integrates attachment theory and emotionally focused principles, guiding parents toward deeper understanding of their own triggers, values, and needs. Whether you’re navigating co-parenting after infidelity or divorce, struggling with communication at home, or feeling disconnected from your child, the goal is to restore connection and repair - not perfection, but presence. Sessions are available online through HIPAA-compliant Zoom across twelve licensed states, and in person at 220 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

Pamela Angel
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I believe empowering parents is the most effective way to foster lasting, positive change in a child’s life. Parenting is the toughest job in the world—usually with no training manual—and it is meant to be a collaborative, supported journey, not an isolating one.
My focus is on providing a non-judgmental space to help parents understand the "why" behind challenging behaviors, enhance their own emotional regulation, and build stronger, more secure attachment bonds. By equipping parents with tailored, research-based strategies—from managing tantrums to navigating adolescent defiance—I help transform household stress into a more harmonious family environment where both parents and children can thrive. I work to help you feel confident, proactive, and resilient in your parenting journey, ensuring you have the tools to support your child’s emotional growth.

I help new moms and dads adjust to parenthood. Bringing a new baby into the house is stressful. We work on effective strategies to balance everything, maintain a good relationship, and adapt to an expanding family. I work with moms while they are pregnant, postpartum, and parents that have multiple children too. Dads need help adjusting too. I also work with parents with older children- to help them develop effective strategies for parenting, having good relationships with their growing kids, and adjusting to kids growing up or moving out of the home.

Columbus is home to Ohio State University — one of the largest universities in the country — creating sustained demand for therapists specializing in academic pressure, young adult identity, and sports psychology. The city's position as Ohio's state capital and a growing tech and healthcare hub has accelerated demographic change, with therapists increasingly addressing burnout and adjustment among a fast-growing professional population. OhioHealth, Nationwide Children's Hospital, and the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center provide major institutional mental health anchors for the region. Columbus also has one of the largest Somali communities in the United States, making culturally competent and multilingual therapists who specialize in refugee trauma and identity an important part of the local therapy landscape.
