Carter Psychotherapy Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C, IEDS
We offer a compassionate space for parents to process difficulties they might be encountering as they raise their kids. We also make space for you to explore your family of origin, dreams you might be carrying for the kind of family you dream of, and themes that might be coming up for you around identity and the changes that have come with parenthood. Several of our therapists are parents, and we bring a blend of knowledge, compassion, and humor to the space.

Shila Vardell, AMFT
Pre-Licensed Professional, AMFT
Parenting is one of the most rewarding and yet the most challenging roles we take on in life. It is okay to seek help and guidance along the way. I am a mother to four of my own children and completely understand that every child is different and creates their own unique challenges. I am here to meet you where you are and address those unique challenges. I focus on creating a warm and healing space where you can feel at ease. We will work together to work on your parenting goals to create a harmonious environment.

Karen Petren
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Being a parent is really tough. We all need a helping hand sometimes. As an experienced psychotherapist and a parent of a challenging young adult myself, I have helped many families find peace and harmony in the face of mental illness, divorce, and addiction. I enjoy empowering parents to explore their own family background and adapt to what’s in front of them today. I specialize in working with ADHD, OCD, and neurodivergent teens and adults.

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.
