Parenting
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.

Allie Michie, MS
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT159347
Parenting is one of the most rewarding and most humbling things a person can do. I work with parents navigating the challenges of raising kids, managing their own stress and history, and trying to show up the way they want to. Whether you're parenting a teen, a toddler, or somewhere in between, there's room here for all of it.

Parenting is one of the hardest jobs in the world, and it comes without a clear manual. Therapy can help parents manage stress, strengthen communication with their kids, and find strategies that support both structure and connection at home.
