John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT MACP LPCC
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.

Anders Greenwood
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.

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.

Richmond is a Contra Costa Bay Area city with a history defined by its role as a major World War II shipbuilding hub and by the environmental and community health impacts of the Chevron oil refinery, which has operated there for over a century and whose explosions and toxic releases—most notably in 2012—have created a legacy of environmental trauma and justified community distrust of institutions that shapes how healthcare and mental health services are received. The city has a predominantly Black and Latino population that has faced significant economic challenges, high crime rates in some areas, and persistent underinvestment, creating a mental health landscape marked by community resilience alongside significant unmet need. Contra Costa Health Services provides mental health services, and community health organizations supplement public resources. Common therapy concerns include environmental and community trauma, racial identity and systemic stress, economic anxiety, and the particular challenges of building mental health trust in a community that has experienced institutional harm.
