Jennifer Warkentin
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Raising humans can be tough work! No matter the age or stage of development, there can be challenges in parenting. This is especially difficult if you're parenting a child who is neurodivergent or who has disabilities. Sometimes parents cannot agree on effective strategies. As a parenting expert, I can offer some insight on managing disruptive behaviors and raising emotionally mature kids.

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.

Bridgit Serrano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
I specialize in supporting mothers who find that parenting has activated unexpected anxiety, irritability, or old emotional wounds. Early motherhood can intensify perfectionism, self-doubt, and reactivity — especially after a difficult birth experience or during postpartum adjustment. Rather than focusing solely on behavior strategies, we explore what may be happening in your nervous system and attachment patterns so you can parent from a place of steadiness rather than overwhelm. The goal is not to be a perfect parent, but a more regulated and present one.

Laura Fleming
Pre-Licensed Professional, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Parenting is one of the most meaningful and demanding roles a person can take on. I work with parents who feel overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, suffering from relentless "mom guilt," or unsure if they’re doing “enough.” I believe that supporting parents is one of the most powerful ways to shape resilient, healthy children. Through emotionally focused and evidence-based work, I help parents care for themselves, clarify their values, strengthen their relationships, and create healthier patterns that positively impact themselves and their children.
