Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Parenting is one of the most rewarding and most challenging roles an adult can take on — and yet it is one of the areas where people are least likely to ask for help. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I work with parents navigating parenting stress, child behavioral challenges, co-parenting conflict, blended family dynamics, parenting after divorce, and the emotional weight of raising children through difficult seasons. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and solution-focused intervention, I help parents develop practical tools, healthier communication patterns, and greater confidence in their role. Telehealth parenting therapy available across 40+ states.

Robin Bates-Pualuan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
For some reason, kids don't come with instruction manuals. Even the best parents struggle sometimes and could benefit from an objective guide through the ambiguous world of parenting, where there are almost never clear-cut answers to the tough questions. By talking with a professional you can learn to parent in a way that respects all parties and aligns with your values.

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.
