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.

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.

Dr. Maxwell Rappoport
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Parenting can bring marked stress, uncertainty, and challenges that are difficult to navigate alone. I help parents better understand family dynamics, improve communication, set effective boundaries, and respond to their children with greater consistency and confidence while also making space for their own needs and well-being.

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anytime we work with a child, we want to work with the parent, not because the parent might be doing something wrong, but because as a parent you have the single greatest influence in your child's life. Anything that goes from me to your child just is not nearly as effective as anything that goes from you to your child. So we partner with the parents and the child and utilize a collaborative plan.
