Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Parenting is one of the most rewarding yet emotionally demanding roles a person can take on. No matter how much you love your child, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or even exhausted by the weight of responsibility. Maybe you struggle with patience, feel guilt over not being the "perfect" parent, or second-guess your decisions. Perhaps you're navigating a tough stage—tantrums, teenage rebellion, or parenting through big life transitions—and you just want to feel more confident in how you show up for your child.
The truth is, there is no perfect way to parent—only a way that works best for you and your family. Together, we will explore the challenges you’re facing, strengthen your ability to set boundaries with love, and help you trust your instincts as a parent. You don’t have to do this alone. With support, self-compassion, and the right tools, parenting can feel less overwhelming and more aligned with the kind of connection and guidance you want to provide for your child.

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.

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.
