Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Modern parenting is fraught and complicated in ways that are unprecedented. Expectations have never been higher while conflicting opinions have never been more overwhelming and easily available. Parents need support to clear out the noise and get in touch with their intuitive knowledge of their own children as well as take care of themselves to show up for their kiddos. My work with parents is practical and informative while also affirming of their own values and priorities for family life.

Rachel Thomasian
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Parenting can be deeply rewarding and incredibly challenging at the same time. I work with parents to strengthen connection, improve communication, and navigate behavioral, emotional, and developmental concerns with greater confidence and calm. Together, we build practical tools that support both the child’s well-being and the parent’s own resilience.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
In the labyrinth of motherhood, many women find themselves navigating through its lesser-spoken, shadowy corridors, confronting the underworld of motherhood where challenges like role adjustment, traumatic births, breastfeeding struggles, and feelings of inadequacy and isolation loom large. My practice offers a beacon of support and understanding for mothers and stepmothers grappling with these harsh realities, providing a safe, compassionate space to voice and heal from the unanticipated trials of mothering. Beyond the immediate demands of parenthood, I delve into the emotional layers underpinning the journey, including the navigation of complex trauma, the healing of ancestral and mother wounds, and the spiritual dimensions of conception and fertility. Whether it's breaking the cycles of past traumas, reconciling with the emotional aftermath of pregnancy loss, or embarking on the sacred journey of connecting with one’s spirit baby, my approach is holistic, recognizing the profound interconnection between personal healing and nurturing life. I stand with those courageous enough to transform their shadows into strength, guiding them towards healing, belonging, and a deeper, more fulfilling experience of motherhood and stepmotherhood.

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.

Modesto sits at the center of California's San Joaquin Valley and is shaped by its agricultural economy — the surrounding Stanislaus County produces almonds, milk, and poultry at nationally significant scale — with therapists frequently addressing the mental health effects of agricultural work, including seasonal income volatility and the physical and psychological demands of farm labor. The city has a large Hispanic population and a significant community of Punjabi Sikh agricultural workers and business owners, creating demand for bilingual and culturally informed therapists who understand immigration stress and cross-cultural family dynamics. Memorial Medical Center and Doctors Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources, while California State University Stanislaus supplies clinical training to the local community. Modesto's relatively high rates of poverty and crime create a therapy landscape in which economic stress and community trauma are recurring clinical themes.
