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.

Dr. Maxwell Rappoport
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Parenting can bring marked stress, uncertainty, and challenges that are difficult to navigate alone. I help parents better understand family dynamics, improve communication, set effective boundaries, and respond to their children with greater consistency and confidence while also making space for their own needs and well-being.

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. You might have a sensitive or willful child who challenges you and you need a safe space to talk about these challenges. I get it and I'm here.

Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LCPC
Parenting is a very hard, beautiful job. Parenting a child with special needs, or a 2E kid is typically an even tougher job, and it's also uniquely beautiful. I am a mom to two school-aged kids and I do get it on a personal and professional level. In the past, I've worked as a School Counselor and School-based therapist with kids and their parents at multiple Los Angeles area K-12 schools. Currently, I often support parents of HSP/Neurodivergent and/or Gifted kids.
