Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Parenting is a lesson in contrast. High stress, high fulfillment, the answer to meaning and purpose and the question of ability and function. It can be lonely, isolating, and stressful. It can challenge the best of relationships. It forces us to redefine our sense of Self, and how we connect with others. Let's sort through it!

Karen Petren
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Being a parent is really tough. We all need a helping hand sometimes. As an experienced psychotherapist and a parent of a challenging young adult myself, I have helped many families find peace and harmony in the face of mental illness, divorce, and addiction. I enjoy empowering parents to explore their own family background and adapt to what’s in front of them today. I specialize in working with ADHD, OCD, and neurodivergent teens and adults.

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.

Annalisa Barrett
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
As a parent of 2 I can directly relate to the struggles of parenting. Each developmental stage comes with its own challenges that require their own set of skills and awareness. You may need to take a look at your ability to stay consistent, maintain boundaries or need for control.

KIM RICHARDSON LINDLEY
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, I CADC II
While the often used "it takes a village" might seem like a cliché, it is a truism that warrants respect. The lifespan of parenting is best shared with others, to be able to help nurture the love and attachment, guidance and protection are goals worth pursing in the therapeutic alliance.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalyst
Parenthood so often brings our own childhoods back into the forefront of our minds. The ways we were cared for; the ways we were misunderstood; and the ways we were criticized or left alone can quietly shape how we respond to our own kids, especially during their tantrums or moments of uncertainty. In psychoanalytic therapy, we make space for the full complexity of parenting, including love, anger, guilt, worry, resentment, and the wish to not screw it up for our kids. Therapeutic work can help you distinguish your child’s needs from the echoes of your own history, so you can parent with greater emotional certainty and a more authentic trust in yourself.
