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.

Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Parenting can be both meaningful and overwhelming, often bringing up stress, uncertainty, and strong emotional reactions. I work with parents to better understand their responses, communication patterns, and the dynamics within the family system. Therapy focuses on building clarity, improving connection, and creating a more stable and supportive environment for both parent and child.

The Mindful Life with Lori Kahn
Life Coach, Certified Integrative Coach, Certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher
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.

As a parent of two boys, ages 8 and 12, I have a wealth of personal experience in additional to my professional experience supporting parents from TTC, pregnancy, postpartum, all the way through parenting teenagers. I'm well-versed in developmental stages and practical interventions to support parents not only with "parenting," but also with the experience of "parenthood" - reminding you that you are a whole person, not just a 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.
