Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Being a parent is tough! You are constantly prioritizing the needs and demands of your little (or not so little) ones and don't often have time for yourself. Being a parent somehow can sometimes bring out our own unmet childhood needs (such as having emotionally unavailable parents ourselves) especially as we actively work to unlearn generational traumas. Perhaps you just need a safe space that's completely yours to just process life or to make space to fill your cup. Therapy with me can be the pause and reset you need to keep going.

Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA
Parenting can activate some of our deepest hopes—and our deepest triggers. I support parents who want to respond to their children with greater calm, connection, and confidence. Using attachment theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and developmental models, we explore how your own early experiences may shape present parenting patterns.
Together, we work with the parts of you that feel overwhelmed, reactive, guilty, or unsure, while strengthening your capacity for steady, attuned leadership. The goal is not perfection, but secure attachment—helping your child feel safe, seen, and supported while you feel grounded and empowered.

John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT MACP LPCC
Parenting is every word you can imagine, but clients very rarely want to discuss how well their kids are doing. In working with children and being a parent, I know first hand the stressors and trials of parenting. My special sauce is teaching you how to communicate with your child so they listen, and teach you how to listen so you can communicate. Learn to recognize triggers and move through into the world soothed, secure and safe.

Hayward is a working-class East Bay city with one of the Bay Area's most diverse populations — deep Latino, Filipino, Black, and South Asian roots — plus a state university campus in the hills above town. Economic pressure from Bay Area housing costs, immigrant family dynamics, and student needs at Cal State East Bay shape the mental health picture. Alameda County behavioral health services, community clinics, and the wider Bay Area therapy market provide access, though affordable culturally matched care remains stretched.
