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.

Brad Gilmore
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
Parenting and co-parenting are vital to healthy families and yet we don't grow up taking classes or receiving formal instruction on how to do it! Parenting work dives into these uncharted waters. I use an approach called reflective parenting that helps shift around common perspectives in order to build awareness of children's experiences. As well, I help parents redefine the family boundaries in ways that are stronger and safer for all.
