Bridgit Serrano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
I specialize in supporting mothers who find that parenting has activated unexpected anxiety, irritability, or old emotional wounds. Early motherhood can intensify perfectionism, self-doubt, and reactivity — especially after a difficult birth experience or during postpartum adjustment. Rather than focusing solely on behavior strategies, we explore what may be happening in your nervous system and attachment patterns so you can parent from a place of steadiness rather than overwhelm. The goal is not to be a perfect parent, but a more regulated and present one.

Jamie Fortin
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
Parenting is rarely easy, but somehow we are conditioned to pretend that it is. If you have been struggling to find happiness and a healthy routine while raising children, I can support you to identify challenges, understand developmental changes for kids and teens, and to explore solutions not just for your kids but for you and your intimate partnerships.

Allie Michie, MS
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT159347
Parenting is one of the most rewarding and most humbling things a person can do. I work with parents navigating the challenges of raising kids, managing their own stress and history, and trying to show up the way they want to. Whether you're parenting a teen, a toddler, or somewhere in between, there's room here for all of it.

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.

Sonny Granade
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
The way we parent our children is deeply shaped by our own upbringing—both by what felt nurturing and by what may have caused harm. I work with my clients to reflect on these early experiences and to thoughtfully examine the beliefs guiding how they are raising, or hope to raise, their own children. Together, we explore how parenting—and re-parenting ourselves—can become a meaningful expression of our values, intentions, and sense of purpose, while also creating space for healing and growth across generations.
