Tacoma Wellness Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Parenting is one of the most profound things a person can do — and one of the loneliest places to struggle. Because from the outside, you're supposed to have it together. You're the adult. You're the one they're counting on.
But parenting brings up everything. Old wounds, old patterns, the voice of your own parents in your head at 7pm when you're exhausted and someone is melting down. It surfaces parts of yourself you didn't know were still there.
At TWC, we work with parents who are trying to show up well for their kids while also tending to themselves — and learning that those two things aren't in conflict. We help parents understand their own patterns, regulate their own nervous systems, and build the kind of presence that comes from doing the inner work, not just reading the right books.
You don't have to be a perfect parent. You have to be a real one. We can help with that.
When you're ready, we're here.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
I work with adults navigating the emotional and psychological demands of parenting, including those parenting alone or alongside other significant pressures. Parenting often brings long-standing patterns into sharper focus, affecting identity, relationships, boundaries, and how people respond under stress.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore how parenting experiences interact with internal expectations, responsibilities, and emotional load. Rather than focusing on parenting techniques, sessions centre on understanding how you are impacted by the role and how different parts of you respond to it. We may work through conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most useful.

Dr. Shelby Kittinger
Psychologist, PsyD
Parenting can evoke deep attachment patterns and stir unresolved emotions from our own childhoods. I work with parents to understand these dynamics, increase self-compassion, and cultivate relational attunement that supports both their children and themselves.

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.

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. Stephanie Vaughn
Psychologist, Psy.D., DBT-LBC™
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.

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.
