Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LCSW, AMFT, APCC
When counseling parents, we try to emphasize good communication skills as part of the foundation of any parental relationship and utilize our vast training and experience to help families break negative cycles and see themselves as being on the same team, rather than as adversaries as they work through specific issues that are a challenge to having a healthy and fulfilling relationship.

Emily Echeverria
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, MS
I know you love your child more than anything, and I also know that in addition to being infinitely rewarding, being a parent can also be pretty dang hard. Balancing your own needs with the needs of everyone else who relies on you is not an easy task. I help parents with parenting techniques and improving the parent-child relationship, but my main focus is emotional support. I firmly believe that in order to take care of others, we must take care of ourselves. The kinder and more patient you are with yourself, the more kind and patient you can be with your child - and the more you can model for your child how they can be good to themselves. You are already doing an amazing job, let's work together to decrease conflict in the home and increase the well-being of you, your child, and your family.

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.

Dr. Shelby Kittinger
Psychologist, PsyD
Parenting can evoke deep attachment patterns and stir unresolved emotions from our own childhoods. I work with parents to understand these dynamics, increase self-compassion, and cultivate relational attunement that supports both their children and themselves.
