Christian Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Having worked as a school counselor and youth pastor, I am well acquainted with the unique challenges a parent faces. Not only is every child different but every parent is different. In our work together I will help you and your child find a groove that feels good and allows for deeper and more meaning connection. Not only will I provide you practical tools you can use that day, but I will also share perspectives that will help you stay in connection with them through every stage of their development.

Sonny Granade
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
The way we parent our own children is inevitably informed by how we were raised in our family of origin: by what we liked about it, as well as how it may have caused us harm. I work with my clients to reflect on how they were raised and to explore their beliefs about how they are raising (or would like to raise) their own children. This exploration often opens the door to rich and healing conversations about how parenting (and re-parenting ourselves) reflects our values and sense of purpose in life.

Stella Zweben Samuel, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I run several groups for parents providing education and support to parents of adolescents and young adults. These groups allow parents to gain answers to questions and support for the difficult job of parenting adolescents and young adults today. I also work with parents of adolescents to identify what strategies might help to strengthen the relationship between parent and child.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst
Parenting is a rewarding yet complex journey. As a psychoanalytic therapist, I understand that your own upbringing and unconscious dynamics can influence your parenting style. Together, we can explore how your past experiences might be shaping your present interactions with your child. By bringing these unconscious patterns to light, you can build a stronger connection with your child, fostering empathy, effective communication, and a more fulfilling parenting experience.

Lauren Blalock
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
We all want what is best for our children. We all strive to be the best parent possible. We also, all fall short of our ideals at times. This doesn’t make us bad parents, it makes us human.
The fact you are here looking for guidance as a parent, tells me you are already a pretty good one. Being a good parent is more that reading all the books, it’s about examining what’s going on for us now, how we show up in the world and even how we were raised, to understand how our unconscious selves effect our parenting. We bring all of our ourselves, even the parts we don’t like, to our role as parent. Because it can be the hardest job in the world, we can all use support as we navigate it. Please email or call today for a free consultation.

The GRIT Kids Philosophy:
GRIT Kids exists to support parents and caregivers in the essential work of nurturing self-awareness in their children, from the earliest developmental stages and beyond.

At Well Coached Life, we recognize that forming a self-identity and learning to live with intention are vital life skills for children.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, MSW, ASW, PPSC
In the labyrinth of motherhood, many women find themselves navigating through its lesser-spoken, shadowy corridors, confronting the underworld of motherhood where challenges like role adjustment, traumatic births, breastfeeding struggles, and feelings of inadequacy and isolation loom large. My practice offers a beacon of support and understanding for mothers and stepmothers grappling with these harsh realities, providing a safe, compassionate space to voice and heal from the unanticipated trials of mothering. Beyond the immediate demands of parenthood, I delve into the emotional layers underpinning the journey, including the navigation of complex trauma, the healing of ancestral and mother wounds, and the spiritual dimensions of conception and fertility. Whether it's breaking the cycles of past traumas, reconciling with the emotional aftermath of pregnancy loss, or embarking on the sacred journey of connecting with one’s spirit baby, my approach is holistic, recognizing the profound interconnection between personal healing and nurturing life. I stand with those courageous enough to transform their shadows into strength, guiding them towards healing, belonging, and a deeper, more fulfilling experience of motherhood and stepmotherhood.
