Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
Parenting is not for the faint of heart. In my work with parents, I focus on providing a warm, supportive, and collaborative environment to help them navigate the challenges of parenting in today’s world. I understand that parents face unique pressures and that children and adolescents today encounter complex issues, from social media influences to academic stress. I work closely with parents to use their creativity and imagination in finding engaging and meaningful ways to connect with and support their children. Whether it’s developing more engaging and impactful communication strategies or creating special bonding activities, I help parents explore approaches that resonate with their children and foster positive relationships. Additionally, I assist parents in addressing and healing their own childhood wounds, which can sometimes impact their parenting responses. By working through these personal challenges, parents can approach their roles with greater clarity and empathy, ultimately enhancing their ability to nurture and guide their children more successfully across each unique developmental stage.

Sarah J Thompson
Counselor/Therapist, MEd, LPC, LCMHC
For new parents, it can be upsetting and frightening to have feelings about parenthood that don’t seem “right.”
For some, a morning run, a healthy diet and receiving help and support from family and friends are sufficient enough to get through the initial adjustment period. For others, talking to a therapist who specializes in dealing with new parenthood issues can be comforting, relieving and enlightening.
Therapists who have extensive education and training in peri-natal mental health understand that hormone changes, personal and family history, and social support are all vital factors in understanding and alleviating postpartum symptoms.
Common postpartum symptoms include:
Feeling overwhelmed and wondering if you should have become a mother in the first place
Feeling guilty due to high self-expectations
Not feeling “bonded” with the baby
Your thoughts are racing and you can’t quiet your mind
Feeling empty and numb as if you’re just going through the motions
Lack of focus and concentration
Being afraid that if you reach out for help, others will judge your inabilities
Thoughts of running away or leaving your baby behind
Being constantly in a state of worry
If one or more of the above symptoms resonates with you, I invite you to contact me today for a free consultation. Together, we’ll find the underlying issues that make you feel disconnected from your baby and create a strategy for moving forward. Contact me today to see how I can help.

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.

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.
