Gretchen Weisenburger Carrillo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
It can be overwhelming striking that balance of holding kids accountable (limits, time outs, behavior contracts etc) and just enjoying them and having fun. No one dreams of being either too strict or too lenient. Gretchen works with individuals and couples looking to strengthen their skills and confidence working with kids. Gretchen is trained in the Positive Parenting Program (levels 3-4) as well as Parent Child Interaction Therapy. She worked for the County of Orange MHSA program to roll out large scale evidence based training in the area of parenting for county providers and homeless shelters. She is parent herself of two young adults.

Jeremi R McManus
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
I have supported hundreds of couples over the past 15+ years who are navigating the crazy world of parenting (I've got two!) and look forward to helping you get your relationship where you want it to be. Poor communication? Broken trust? Endless arguments? I look forward to hearing from you.

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.

Shohreh Schmuecker
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Sometimes mothers need a soft place to land to vent their frustrations while still holding their love for their child. I am rostered with UCSF Benioff as a Child-Parent Psychotherapist and I can support you in what may come up for you around your parenting role in your individual session with me. Motherhood/Caregiving is difficult and sometimes we just need a safe space to discuss what is going on for us.

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.
