Dr. John VanderKaay & The Center for Mighty Marriages & Families
Marriage and Family Therapist, DMin, LMFT, BCPCC, BCPC
Effective parenting is the most difficult job in the world. It's also the one many people have the least training in. We are all intended to learn how to be effective parents by being effectively parented by our own parents. If we didn't have that example, we need to learn somewhere else. I help parents learn about their strengths and weaknesses and help parent from their strengths, while improving their weaknesses.

Linda Friedman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I understand the profound impact a child's challenging behavior can have on the entire family. It strains parental relationships and takes an emotional toll on daily interactions with your child. The journey might feel overwhelming, but there is hope!
As a nationally certified provider of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), I specialize in bringing about transformative changes in children's behaviors, turning family dynamics from stress-ridden to harmonious. I’m committed to assisting families facing challenges such as tantrums, oppositionality, defiance, and aggression.
What sets PCIT apart is its proven effectiveness, backed by over 30 years of research. It's not just a treatment; it's a powerful solution designed for children grappling with behavioral and emotional difficulties. The "secret sauce" lies in the live coaching sessions, where I’ll support you, implementing PCIT tools in real-time. The in the moment feedback empowers parents to quickly master skills that results in tangible improvements in their child's behavior.
Break free from the cycle of stress and tears! Contact me today for a free consult to explore how the PCIT program can bring lasting positive changes and a happier, healthier family life!

Parenting: The Ultimate Systemic Challenge
Moving from Survival to Connection
Parenting is perhaps the most profound "attachment laboratory" we will ever enter. It has the power to bring up our greatest joys and our deepest "ghosts" from the past. In my practice, I move beyond standard "behavioral tips" to help parents understand the relational system at play. Whether you are navigating the "toddler years," the "teen years," or the complex transition into adult-child relationships, I provide a space to parent with intention rather than reactivity.
Navigating the Modern Parenting System
Today’s parents are facing unprecedented levels of burnout and overwhelmed by "expert" advice. We work together to find your voice in the noise, addressing:
The "Parental Melt Down": Understanding the neurobiology of why we "flip our lids" and learning somatic tools to stay within your Window of Tolerance when your child is out of theirs.
Neurodivergent Parenting: Providing specialized support for parents of neurodivergent children, or for neurodivergent parents themselves, navigating sensory overstimulation and executive functioning demands.
The Cycle of Rejection Sensitivity: Addressing how our own childhood wounds can make a child’s natural independence feel like a personal rejection.
A Research-Backed, Heart-Centered Approach
With over 20 years of experience and a PhD in Child and Family Studies, I integrate high-level theory with practical, everyday application:
Attachment-Based Parenting: Using Attachment Theory to move away from "power struggles" and toward a secure base where your child feels seen, safe, and soothed.
Systems Theory & Family Dynamics: We look at the "hidden" roles everyone plays in the family. How does the stress in the marriage, the workplace, or the social system impact the child’s behavior?
Parenting through Transition: Supporting families through the "big shifts"—divorce, moving, new siblings, or spiritual deconstruction—ensuring the family bond remains resilient.
Supporting the "Helper" Parent
I have a deep commitment to working with therapists and pastors as parents. It is uniquely difficult to hold space for others all day and then come home to the raw, unfiltered demands of a family. I provide a confidential sanctuary where you can take off the "expert" hat and find the support you need to be the parent you want to be.

Jaclyn Davis
Psychologist, PhD
Parenting can be both deeply meaningful and incredibly overwhelming—sometimes within the same moment. It often brings a profound identity shift, while also stirring up unresolved experiences from your own childhood. Old attachment wounds may resurface, shaping how you relate to your child and how you see yourself as a parent. I work especially with those navigating the postpartum period and early years of parenting—times that can be particularly emotionally taxing and tender. You may find yourself questioning how to connect without conflict, or how to parent differently than you were parented. Through a psychodynamic approach, I help you explore these deeper layers with compassion and curiosity—so you can parent more intentionally, with greater self-awareness and emotional presence.

Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Parenting is both deeply rewarding and incredibly challenging. Even the most loving parents can feel overwhelmed, unsure, or discouraged when their child’s needs or behaviors seem difficult to manage. I specialize in helping parents understand the “why” behind their child’s emotions and behaviors, develop effective communication and discipline strategies, and restore a sense of confidence and calm within the family.
My work with parents often focuses on navigating developmental changes, improving parent–child relationships, and managing challenges such as anxiety, defiance, emotional regulation difficulties, and family transitions. For parents raising children with unique emotional or behavioral needs, therapy offers tools for setting appropriate limits while maintaining empathy and connection.
When co-parenting after divorce or separation, I provide structured support to help parents maintain consistency, reduce conflict, and protect children from adult stressors. I also assist foster, adoptive, and blended families as they navigate attachment and identity issues that can surface throughout a child’s development.
Grounded in cognitive-behavioral and family systems approaches, sessions focus on increasing emotional awareness, enhancing communication, and promoting a calmer, more connected family environment. My goal is to help parents feel equipped, supported, and empowered to raise resilient, emotionally secure children—while also caring for themselves in the process.

Restoring Hope Counseling & Consulting, PLLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, RPT, NCC, CCPRT
None of our counselors are even close to being perfect parents, but we are passionate about walking alongside you in your parenting journey, whether you are parenting a toddler or you are an empty-nester parenting adult children. We utilize the principles and practical tools from the evidence-based parent training program, Child-Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT). Extensive research indicates that parents who learn and apply the CPRT skills tend to have a significant reduction in their stress levels, and the training tends to result in their children exhibiting less problematic behaviors.
