John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, MACP LPCC LMFT
Parenting is every word you can imagine, but clients very rarely want to discuss how well their kids are doing. In working with children and being a parent, I know first hand the stressors and trials of parenting. My special sauce is teaching you how to communicate with your child so they listen, and teach you how to listen so you can communicate. Learn to recognize triggers and move through into the world soothed, secure and safe.

Psychologist, Psy.D, Ph.D.
I enjoy helping clients accept and like themselves, organize around strengths, achieve greater emotional presence, think clearly, and let go of shame, guilt and old habits of emotional survival. I believe therapy should lead to better decisions, as well as improved quality of life and relationships.

Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Parenting is a lesson in contrast. High stress, high fulfillment, the answer to meaning and purpose and the question of ability and function. It can be lonely, isolating, and stressful. It can challenge the best of relationships. It forces us to redefine our sense of Self, and how we connect with others. Let's sort through it!

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anytime we work with a child, we want to work with the parent, not because the parent might be doing something wrong, but because as a parent you have the single greatest influence in your child's life. Anything that goes from me to your child just is not nearly as effective as anything that goes from you to your child. So we partner with the parents and the child and utilize a collaborative plan.
