Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Modern parenting is fraught and complicated in ways that are unprecedented. Expectations have never been higher while conflicting opinions have never been more overwhelming and easily available. Parents need support to clear out the noise and get in touch with their intuitive knowledge of their own children as well as take care of themselves to show up for their kiddos. My work with parents is practical and informative while also affirming of their own values and priorities for family life.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Find ways to cope with the most challenging parts of parenting and find ways to create joy/meaning in your role as a parent. Parenting therapy also helps parents identify, address, and manage their own past or present experiences that may be affecting the way they relate to their child.

Transitioning to parenting can be challenging, and each stage of it can be new and cause or heighten distress. I can support you in this.

Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Becoming a parent is one of the biggest transitions in one's life and can be accompanied by many unexpected feelings. I strive to help new parents adjust to life with kids and to help parents with older kids navigate the complexities of more mature issues.

Meghan McGinn
Psychologist, PhD
Sure, you and your partner knew parenting would have its challenges, but you were not quite prepared for how much of your energy it would take and how little you would have left for each other. Your relationship feels rocky in ways you never imagined, you are tired and overstimulated, and the additional mental load (do their clothes still fit? did I fill out that form? which brand of toasted oat cereal will they actually eat?) is soul-crushing. You may feel hesitant to add something else to your to do list, but couple therapy could be a key component of what pulls you out of that state of burnout. You need an experienced couple therapist to help you to feel heard and understood by your partner, to break out of unhelpful communication patterns, and to reclaim some of your time for your needs as an individual and as a couple.
