Parenting
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.

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.

Linda Michlin Ludwig
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I am a parent and a grandparent. I am blessed to be in a loving marriage for fifty-three years. I think parenting is both one of the most gratifying of jobs, but also one of the most difficult. No one is a "perfect" parent. As we age many of us will have regrets about some of the ways we parented.
If you are a parent you will have your own unique concerns you will want to talk about. Let's explore what they are.

Dr. Danielle Goodwin
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Parenting is the most fulfilling and also the most difficult job. Each child's personality, learning style, strengths and weaknesses are unique. I work on helping parents to understand their child and work together as a family unit so that their child can grow to be the best version he or she is meant to be.

Given my interest in working with adolescents, I also enjoy working with parents of adolescents to help work on understanding this developmental period better as well as on specific skills to utilize with teens such as communication skills.
