Parenting
Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Parenting can be deeply rewarding while also bringing stress, self-doubt, exhaustion, and difficult emotions. Behavioral challenges, family conflict, developmental changes, or differences in temperament may leave even loving parents feeling overwhelmed or uncertain.
I help parents better understand their children’s emotional needs while recognizing their own triggers and patterns. Together, we work on calm communication, consistent boundaries, emotional regulation, and age-appropriate expectations. The goal is not perfect parenting, but a more secure relationship in which both parent and child feel understood, respected, and supported.

Samantha Schaefer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
Parenting can be both beautiful and overwhelming—especially when you’re stretched thin or unsure how to help your child thrive. I help parents find steadiness, strengthen connection, and rediscover confidence in their role, even when things feel messy.

Bridgit Serrano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
I specialize in supporting mothers who find that parenting has activated unexpected anxiety, irritability, or old emotional wounds. Early motherhood can intensify perfectionism, self-doubt, and reactivity — especially after a difficult birth experience or during postpartum adjustment. Rather than focusing solely on behavior strategies, we explore what may be happening in your nervous system and attachment patterns so you can parent from a place of steadiness rather than overwhelm. The goal is not to be a perfect parent, but a more regulated and present one.
