Parenting will be one of the most challenging events of your life -- often a life long journey. With today's stressful outside influences, parents are often confused about what to do or how to help their children. Children and teens are faced with options and decisions never before a part of childhood. Parents need helpful tools and ideas -- and how to be consistent in 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.

Parenting can be both joyful and challenging, and it often brings stress, uncertainty, and emotional strain. In therapy, we help parents navigate these challenges by exploring family dynamics, communication patterns, and attachment needs—both for themselves and their children. We focus on building healthy boundaries, fostering emotional connection, and developing practical strategies for raising resilient, confident children. With Christ-centered guidance, parents are supported in cultivating patience, clarity, and balance, while strengthening the overall health and harmony of their family relationships.

Emily Echeverria
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, MS
I know you love your child more than anything, and I also know that in addition to being infinitely rewarding, being a parent can also be pretty dang hard. Balancing your own needs with the needs of everyone else who relies on you is not an easy task. I help parents with parenting techniques and improving the parent-child relationship, but my main focus is emotional support. I firmly believe that in order to take care of others, we must take care of ourselves. The kinder and more patient you are with yourself, the more kind and patient you can be with your child - and the more you can model for your child how they can be good to themselves. You are already doing an amazing job, let's work together to decrease conflict in the home and increase the well-being of you, your child, and your family.

Ms. Carol Jean Timmons
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
From my own experience of parenting and grand parenting comes a heart for parents to learn how to effectively deal with their children! Never before in history has there been so much information available on the subject of parenting! And never before has there been so much confusion on the part of parents as to how best to parent - especially in this era of social media! We tend to replicate or react to the parenting we received as children. But there are tested and proven principles of parenting that can help parents learn the art and skill of dealing effectively with their children. Our goal is to raise responsible adults, not just obedient children.
