Amy Price, AMP Family Therapy Inc.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Parenting is such a gift. It is also tremendously difficult and has different challenges than our parents had. I like to encourage parents to be the leaders, nurturers and boundary-holders they can be for their kids. Kids need, desire and benefit greatly from parenting that communicates incredible love and boundaries. Let me help you see how that is possible. I can also provide access to the Prepare-Enrich Parenting Assessment, which provides insight for the married couple parenting their own kids or the blended family's children. This can help enhance family communication, reduce parenting stress, and address child behavior concerns, while keeping the couple at the center.

Dr. Divya Kakaiya Healthy Within
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist Ph. D M.S. BCN-L
Parenting is among the most emotionally demanding roles a nervous system can navigate — requiring simultaneous patience, attunement, boundary-setting, and emotional availability, often while running on empty.
Neurofeedback trains the brain's regulatory systems toward greater calm and emotional flexibility — reducing reactivity, improving frustration tolerance, and restoring the neurological bandwidth that chronic stress depletes. Parents who regulate better, parent better — and that ripples directly into their children's developing nervous systems.

Chris 'Bucky' Bateman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Parenting puts enormous pressure on even the strongest relationships. Disagreements about discipline, different parenting styles, and the sheer exhaustion of raising children can quietly erode connection between partners. We help parents get on the same page, communicate more effectively, and strengthen both their partnership and their family dynamic — so the whole family benefits.
