Misty Johnson
Counselor/Therapist, LCSW
Parenting is the toughest job we have, hands down. All parents need and deserve support. Most of don't have the support we should. It's imperative to get perspective and support as a parent. I have formal education in positive discipline, emotional understanding and attachment parenting styles. I am also an experienced mother myself.

David Oretsky Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
As a therapist specializing in parenting support, I am deeply committed to helping parents navigate the richly complex journey of raising children. My practice is strongly influenced by the principles put forth by Dr. Becky Kennedy in her book "Good Inside," and Shefali Tsabary's enlightening work "The Awakened Family". I strongly believe in fostering emotional intelligence, promoting internal growth, and nurturing healthy communication within families, as underscored in these seminal works.
I see my role as not just helping parents manage daily parenting struggles, but more importantly, to guide them in cultivating a deeper understanding of their own emotions and reactions. By doing so, they can model emotional health to their children, foster stronger bonds, and cultivate a more balanced and harmonious family environment.
Whether you're dealing with tantrums, power struggles, behavioral issues, or relationship concerns, my approach is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where we can collaboratively address these challenges. Drawing from the wisdom of Dr. Becky's and Dr. Tsabary's principles, we'll work together to explore mindful parenting strategies that focus on connection, empathy, and understanding.
Remember, the goal of parenting is not perfection, but growth – both for you as a parent and for your child. With patience, compassion, and understanding, we can navigate this journey together towards a healthier, happier family life.

Ana Velouise, Perinatal Mental Health Specialist
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
If you’re in the thick of a new phase of parenthood where none of your previous coping skills seem to be working, therapy can help. The ways in which children hold a mirror up to ourselves can be an emotional experience. You also may be processing your own childhood and shifting intergenerational patterns, both of which can feel intensely isolating. Together, let's process your experiences, develop new tools and skills to meet your current parenting phase, and integrate it all into your parenting narrative.
