The Mindful Life with Lori Kahn
Life Coach, Certified Integrative Coach, Certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher, Certified Neurofeedback
I specialize in "mindful parenting" with tools and techniques to practice patience, understanding, empathy and compassion first for how we as parents get triggered and react from what we know from our own upbringing. With that awareness we can begin to choose our reactions, see the change and even develop new healthy family habits of mindful communication.

Dr. David Shapiro
Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
Parent coaching is frequently a focus of the work I do. I support parents in shifting out of using anger and intimidation while at the same time maintaining healthy authority and responsibility with their kids. Often I assist in developing and implementing rewards based behavior management strategies, as well as in integrating positive parenting approaches. Reunification of parents with children when their has been some kind of disruption to their parenting relationship is an area in which I have considerable experience, as is helping divorced and divorcing couples effectively co-parent.

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.

Gretchen Weisenburger Carrillo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
It can be overwhelming striking that balance of holding kids accountable (limits, time outs, behavior contracts etc) and just enjoying them and having fun. No one dreams of being either too strict or too lenient. Gretchen works with individuals and couples looking to strengthen their skills and confidence working with kids. Gretchen is trained in the Positive Parenting Program (levels 3-4) as well as Parent Child Interaction Therapy. She worked for the County of Orange MHSA program to roll out large scale evidence based training in the area of parenting for county providers and homeless shelters. She is parent herself of two young adults.
