Kayzim Suárez-Reyes
Psychologist, PhD
As a mother of a 2 year-old, I know how important it is to recognize the needs and milestones of our children. I specialize in supporting parents through the complexities and challenges of raising children and adolescents through a developmentally informed, attachment-based lens, to help you move beyond reactive parenting to intentional, effective connection. Whether you are navigating behavioral issues, managing family stress, co-parenting challenges, or supporting a child with neurodevelopmental differences like ADHD or ASD, I provide practical strategies for enhancing communication, setting consistent boundaries, and fostering emotional intelligence. My goal is to empower you to feel more confident and capable in your parenting role, ultimately strengthening the resilience and well-being of your entire family system.

Greg Whittaker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
In addition to raising six children with my wife (and currently practicing on the grandchildren), I have taught dozens of parenting classes and read extensively on this subject. I get a great deal of satisfaction in helping parents become more effective at bonding with their children and creating a sense of order in their home. My main focus is on helping parents discipline their children with techniques that encourage their children learn to be responsible for their behavior so they can become happy and successful later in life.

Jennifer Canu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Parenting is not for the faint of heart! It often brings up unexpected emotions, fears and our own childhood experiences-good and bad. Whether as an adjunct service to your child's service or part of your own therapy process, I use an attachment based model to help you explore and understand how your history and experiences shape parenting values and practices, increase understanding of developmental needs and expectations, and learn strategies to improve connection and relationship functioning.

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.

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!
