Danielle Thurman (Roots and Wings Family Therapy)
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Parenting is one of the hardest jobs on the planet, and it is completely normal to feel overwhelmed, stuck, or triggered by your children. As a therapist trained in both Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help parents move from reactive, guilt-driven parenting to a more secure, compassionate, and "Self-led" connection with their children.
How I Can Help You:
Understand Your Triggers (IFS): Instead of fighting your "reactive parts" (anger, impatience, fear), we will get to know them. You’ll learn to unblend from the parts that shame you or yell, allowing you to parent from a calmer, more confident "Self".
Decode the Negative Cycle (EFT): We will identify the, often, unconscious patterns that leave everyone feeling disconnected or upset. By understanding the attachment needs behind your child's behavior—and your own—we can break the cycle of pursuit and withdrawal.
Build Secure Attachment (EFT & IFS): I provide a safe space to explore your own childhood wounds, ensuring they don't get passed down. You will learn how to show up as a secure base, helping your children feel safe, seen, and understood.
Together, we will move from perfectionism to connection, helping you raise resilient children while finding peace in your parenting journey.

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.

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.

I work with parents to explore what’s working, what’s not, and how to build stronger, more connected relationships with their children. Together, we’ll develop practical tools, boost your confidence, and help you parent with greater clarity, compassion, and calm—even during the hard moments.

Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Parenting can bring immense joy, but it can also create stress, conflict, exhaustion, and shifts in relationship dynamics and decimate sexual connection. Couples may struggle with differences in parenting styles, values, division of responsibilities, or maintaining emotional connection while caring for children. Gottman Method couples therapy helps parents strengthen their partnership by improving communication, increasing teamwork, and creating a more supportive and connected family environment. Therapy provides space to navigate parenting disagreements with greater understanding and respect while also prioritizing the health of the couple relationship. By building stronger emotional connection and collaborative problem-solving skills, couples can feel more united and resilient in the challenges of parenting together.

Sophie Pierce
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Parenting can be both deeply rewarding and incredibly challenging. My approach to parent coaching is grounded in attachment theory and developmental science, with the belief that children's behaviors are meaningful expressions of their needs, emotions, and experiences. I work collaboratively with parents to better understand their child's unique temperament and developmental stage, strengthen connection, and develop practical strategies that support both the child and the parent-child relationship.

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.

Parenting - "All joy and no fun" is a quote I hear often and it resonates. It has been a great joy and the hardest job. It's hard to know if we are "doing it right" and "I don't want to screw up my kid" are the most common things my clients tell me. Let's talk about your parenting values and how this aligns with your parenting reality to learn some ways to increase your confidence.

Richard Cox, PhD
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC
Personally, I think being a parent is the hardest job in the world, but also the most rewarding and enjoyable. I speak as a parent of six, and I know as does any parent of more than one child, that each child is unique. Today we live in a world of many different parent-child dynamics. I once knew a young lady who had four mothers: her biological mother, the mother who adopted her, her step-mother, and her mother-in-law. For her, each relationship was different and unique. Each and every parent-child relationship is one of a kind. I will help uncover the uniqueness and rely on some universal truths about parent-child interactions to help your situation be more positive and satisfying.

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.
