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.

Dr. Berkeley Antonioli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LCSW, LCSW-C, MEd
I am so grateful for the privilege to be both a mother and therapist, as both identities have deepen my understanding of the other, as well as my confidence and grace in navigating both roles. Becoming a mother over 6 years ago has deepened all of my clinical understandings of secure attachment and attunement, and has allowed me to connect more deeply with my clients. When I work with parenting concerns, I come from an attachment-based approach, holding both high connection and healthy boundaries as paramount in navigating the challenges of parenting.

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.

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.

Megan Martin
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, ATR
Parenthood is one of the most—if not the most—significant psychological, emotional, and logistical transitions any human can undergo. It involves a complete restructuring of personal identity, priorities, and time.
Having received advanced training from Postpartum Support International (PSI), I am passionate about providing compassionate, informed, and evidence-based support. I believe that while the inherent responsibility of parenting means anxiety may never fully disappear, it should not be the driving factor that dictates every single decision and overshadows every experience.

Sanela Solak
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Parenting is perhaps one of the most challenging roles we can take on. It is physically, emotionally, and mentally demanding—especially in nuclear-family systems or solo parenting, where the support of a larger village is often missing. Parenting asks so much of us, not only in caring for our children, but also in facing parts of ourselves that may still need attention, healing, and support.
Our children often touch the deepest places in us—the places where we have been hurt, where we feel limited, or where old patterns live on. In this way, parenting can become an invitation to heal, grow, and become more present and resourced than our caregivers may have been able to be for us. This is not only personal, but also shaped by ancestral and collective forces that influence how we parent and how we were parented.
If parenting feels hard, it does not mean you are failing. It may simply mean that there are places within you that need care, nourishment, and support. Often, our children illuminate where we are being called to show up more fully for ourselves so that we can more fully show up for them.
When we are supported in that process, parenting can become one of the most rewarding and meaningful experiences life has to offer.

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.
