Chloe Lankshear
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.Ed, Ed/S, LMFT
As a parent myself, I know that parenting is not always easy and most parents have moments when they are unfortunately not the parents they would ideally like to be. The key is to learn from those times, work out what led to them and figure out a better way forward. If we work together on parenting, I will do a comprehensive assessment to get to know you, your background story and goals so I have all of the relevant information. Then, I put together a draft treatment plan, with input from you, so the details will depend on the person. I'm non-judgmental and just focussed on helping you get to where you want to be in your parenting. You obviously can't control your children, but you can control the decisions and actions you take as a parent. I hope to help you to get to a place where you feel comfortable and good about yourself as a parent.

Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA
Parenting can activate some of our deepest hopes—and our deepest triggers. I support parents who want to respond to their children with greater calm, connection, and confidence. Using attachment theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and developmental models, we explore how your own early experiences may shape present parenting patterns.
Together, we work with the parts of you that feel overwhelmed, reactive, guilty, or unsure, while strengthening your capacity for steady, attuned leadership. The goal is not perfection, but secure attachment—helping your child feel safe, seen, and supported while you feel grounded and empowered.

John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, MACP LPCC LMFT
Parenting is every word you can imagine, but clients very rarely want to discuss how well their kids are doing. In working with children and being a parent, I know first hand the stressors and trials of parenting. My special sauce is teaching you how to communicate with your child so they listen, and teach you how to listen so you can communicate. Learn to recognize triggers and move through into the world soothed, secure and safe.

Dr. Fernando Castrillon

There are few more challenging endeavors than that of being a parent. As we delve into any parenting difficulties you may have, we will also bear in mind the larger social context in which parenting and child-rearing occurs in, so as to move forward effectively.

Anders Greenwood
Psychologist, Psy.D, Ph.D.
I enjoy helping clients accept and like themselves, organize around strengths, achieve greater emotional presence, think clearly, and let go of shame, guilt and old habits of emotional survival. I believe therapy should lead to better decisions, as well as improved quality of life and relationships.

David Gumpert
Psychologist, PsyD
While I do not have specialized training in this subject, I am a parent myself and understand the challenges of balancing personal needs, romantic needs, and showing up for your children. Parenting can also bring up memories or even trauma from our own childhood that hasn't been fully processed. Through understanding your own childhood, you can ensure you break any cycles of patterns so it does not interfere with your parenting moving forward.

Kayzim Suárez-Reyes
Psychologist, PhD
As a mother of a 2 year-old, I know how important it is to recognize the needs and milestones of our children. I specialize in supporting parents through the complexities and challenges of raising children and adolescents through a developmentally informed, attachment-based lens, to help you move beyond reactive parenting to intentional, effective connection. Whether you are navigating behavioral issues, managing family stress, co-parenting challenges, or supporting a child with neurodevelopmental differences like ADHD or ASD, I provide practical strategies for enhancing communication, setting consistent boundaries, and fostering emotional intelligence. My goal is to empower you to feel more confident and capable in your parenting role, ultimately strengthening the resilience and well-being of your entire family system.
