Melanie Carey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA
Parenting can be deeply meaningful and also emotionally complex, especially when old patterns, stress, and attachment experiences get activated in the day-to-day relationship with your child. Many parents find themselves feeling stretched thin, reactive in ways they don’t fully understand, or carrying guilt and self-criticism even when they are doing their best.
In therapy, we create space to slow down and make sense of what is happening beneath the surface of parenting stress. This includes exploring emotional triggers, nervous system responses, and the ways your own early experiences may be shaping how you show up with your child.
Rather than focusing on “perfect parenting” or quick behavior fixes, this work supports a deeper understanding of your internal experience in moments of overwhelm. From a psychodynamic and trauma-informed lens, we look at how patterns are passed down, and how they can be gently interrupted with awareness, compassion, and support.
Using Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy, we also pay attention to the body-based “felt sense” that often arises in challenging parenting moments — the tightening, urgency, or emotional flooding that can be difficult to think through in real time. Learning to stay with and listen to these internal signals can create more choice, regulation, and responsiveness over time.
This work is not about eliminating difficult emotions in parenting, but about increasing your capacity to stay present with them without becoming overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself.
Many clients find that as their own nervous system becomes more regulated and understood, their relationships with their children begin to shift naturally — with more ease, repair, and connection becoming possible.
This approach is especially supportive for highly sensitive parents, parents navigating trauma histories, and those who want to break intergenerational patterns while staying deeply connected to their children.

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.

Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
I specialize in supporting parents who are feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure how to handle challenging behaviors and emotional dynamics at home. Parenting doesn’t come with a manual, and even the most capable parents can feel stuck at times. Together, we focus on practical strategies to improve communication, set clear and consistent boundaries, and respond to your child in a way that supports both their emotional development and your own well-being. My approach is collaborative, realistic, and grounded in helping you feel more confident, connected, and steady in your role as a parent.

Dr. Meghan Miller
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Parenting is rewarding, but it can also bring emotional overload, guilt, and the sense of never doing enough. I help parents manage this invisible mental load by using mindfulness-based strategies, emotion regulation skills, and relational interventions to support healthier family dynamics. Together, we’ll work on building self-compassion, setting effective boundaries, and practicing coping techniques that allow you to feel more grounded and present. Therapy is not about perfect parenting - it’s about strengthening resilience and finding joy in the moments that matter most.

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.

Tracy L. Morris
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS LMFT
I found the concept of Family so intriguing as a youth, I decided to get a college degree in it! For me, recognizing that Family is, indeed, a concept constructed by culture and society is crucially important to how Parenting is approached. In no other realm of 'regular' human life do our hauting ghosts come out to play as fervently as when we are parenting children. I work with clients to explore and become clear on their 'ghosts' and then move forward toward the parent they also wanted to be.

Morgan Desai
Pre-Licensed Professional, LMFTA
Parenting can be filled with joy and excitement, but it can also bring feelings such as worry, grief, and anger. Each child at any age brings their own unique achievements and challenges that all bring change and require adjustment. It is also common for parenting to trigger past traumas and adverse childhood experiences, which can be surprising and challenging to process. You deserve to feel supported and feel that you have a space specifically dedicated to you as you navigate all the ups and downs that parenting has to offer.

Debra Zand
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Parenting therapy helps parents identify, address, and manage their own past or present experiences that may be affecting the way they relate to their child. In some cases, parenting therapy may also help parents better communicate between each other to maintain a cohesive and structured parenting approach. Parenting therapy provides a judgement-free zone for parents to discuss tough moments in parenting and learn how to better manage these tough moments moving forward. Overall, parenting therapy aims to provide parents with the necessary knowledge, tools, guidance, and support to take care of themselves and their children in the most ideal way possible.
