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.

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.

Bonnie Rae
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I love working with parents. I am a parent myself, and without support, I am not sure how the role of parent is manageable. I have extensive experience working with new parents, parents of neurodivergent children (specifically autism and ADHD), parents navigating advocating for support for their children, lesbian parents, queer parents, trans parents, parents who have lost a sense of identity outside of parenthood, navigating parenting with careers, and navigating parenting with illness.

Ben Leddick
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Parenting is a confusing process that has nearly a thousand ways to respond to a given situation. In Restoration Therapy, the goal is not to give you the right thing to say or do at any given moment, but rather the tools to self regulate so you can then help your child understand their feelings and eventually learn their own self regulation.

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.

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. 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.
