There are few more challenging endeavors than that of being a parent. As we delve into any parenting difficulties you may have, we will also bear in mind the larger social context in which parenting and child-rearing occurs in, so as to move forward effectively.

I find great joy in supporting parents as they navigate the complexity of raising children.

David Oretsky Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
As a therapist specializing in parenting support, I am deeply committed to helping parents navigate the richly complex journey of raising children. My practice is strongly influenced by the principles put forth by Dr. Becky Kennedy in her book "Good Inside," and Shefali Tsabary's enlightening work "The Awakened Family". I strongly believe in fostering emotional intelligence, promoting internal growth, and nurturing healthy communication within families, as underscored in these seminal works.
I see my role as not just helping parents manage daily parenting struggles, but more importantly, to guide them in cultivating a deeper understanding of their own emotions and reactions. By doing so, they can model emotional health to their children, foster stronger bonds, and cultivate a more balanced and harmonious family environment.
Whether you're dealing with tantrums, power struggles, behavioral issues, or relationship concerns, my approach is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where we can collaboratively address these challenges. Drawing from the wisdom of Dr. Becky's and Dr. Tsabary's principles, we'll work together to explore mindful parenting strategies that focus on connection, empathy, and understanding.
Remember, the goal of parenting is not perfection, but growth – both for you as a parent and for your child. With patience, compassion, and understanding, we can navigate this journey together towards a healthier, happier family life.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Parenting can be an overwhelming job, navigating IEPs, advocating for children with disabilities and finding the right resources, emotionally regulating yourself and helping your child as they struggle, and managing family and sibling conflict. There is a journey of self-development that accompanies parenting at each stage. Therapy involves working collaboratively to help you reduce parenting stress, maintain your relationship and be a strong and loving resource for your children. I combine insightful, caring depth work with effective, evidence based techniques to help you establish balance, calm and happiness even in challenging situations.
