Tatiana Turo-Handy, PsyD., PMH-C
Psychologist, PsyD. PMH-C
Adjusting to life as a parent can be both beautiful and overwhelming. As a bilingual (Spanish/English) psychologist and PMH‑C certified clinician, I support individuals navigating the emotional challenges of early parenthood, including exhaustion, identity shifts, relationship changes, and the pressure to “get it right.” Therapy offers a steady, compassionate space to explore parenting stress, build confidence, and reconnect with yourself during this major life transition.
I also help parents manage the complex emotions that arise when returning to work after parental leave, such as guilt, anxiety, role strain, and the challenge of balancing caregiving with professional responsibilities. Together, we work toward creating routines, boundaries, and coping strategies that support your well‑being and your family’s needs.

Danielle Martinelli-Taylor
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, EMDRIA
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting. If it is walking through your unexpected anger, frustration, disillusionment or seeing yourself react due to your own childhood, we can dive into it. Using ART for childhood pains that are coming out in your parenting or the bilateral boxing method for building up emotions that need to be released,

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with parents who feel stretched thin by what parenting is asking of them. This may be because your child is neurodivergent, has medical needs, has been through a frightening or overwhelming experience, or because this stage of parenting is simply more intense than you expected. Parents I see often describe feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or on edge much of the time; not knowing how to respond to big emotions, shutdown, or challenging behaviors; worrying about a child’s ADHD, learning needs, or mental health; grieving that family life looks different from what they imagined; feeling tension with a partner or co‑parent about parenting styles, division of labor, or how to support a child; and feeling lonely or unseen in their role, even when they are doing everything they can and know to do.
I work with parents individually, and with couples who want support around how parenting is affecting their relationship. In our work together, there is room for the full range of your experience: love, worry, anger, guilt, and everything in between. We look for ways of relating to your child, and to each other, that feel more grounded, sustainable, and aligned with what matters most to you. I also work with parents who are navigating parenting while healing from their own past experiences, including trauma, complicated family histories, or critical inner voices.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
With over 25 years of experience working with families and children ages 0–18, I provide parenting consultation, diagnostic feedback, and support for behavioral and emotional concerns. I integrate family systems, attachment, behavioral strategies, IFS, and mindfulness to help parents strengthen relationships and create stability. I also collaborate with prescribers on medication management when appropriate. My diagnostic expertise ensures clarity in identifying developmental, emotional, or relational needs and tailoring recommendations that fit the family system. In addition, I offer a clinical evaluation and consultation to address any diagnostic concerns parents may have and make treatment recommendations based on this assessment.

Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Are you a parent with trauma? Parenting is hard, but trauma makes it even harder! It's so hard to know what to do when you didn't have a safe and secure home when you were growing up. You want to break the cycle of violence, you want better for your kids, you'd do anything to protect them, but what does that look like day to day?
I get it. I have a background in family therapy where parents and kiddos had extreme trauma, and I currently specialize in trauma and relationships. Let's dig in. No dumb questions, no wrong answers. You deserve support, it's a lot of work to break cycles of trauma, and I'd love to partner with you and celebrate you on this journey.

Arazeli Wagner
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Parenting can bring up old emotional patterns, especially for those healing from childhood wounds or generational trauma. I support parents and caregivers who want to better understand their emotional responses, break unhelpful cycles, and parent with greater intention and self-awareness. Therapy focuses on healing your inner experience so you can show up more grounded and connected in your parenting role.

Jamie Andersen, M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Woodland Counseling
Parenting is the best and hardest job most of have ever had. One of the biggest challenges that parents face today is finding a balance between work and family life. This can often involve juggling multiple responsibilities at once, such as taking care of children, meeting deadlines at work, and keeping up with household duties.

Lauren Jensen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Facing our own selves as parents, doing one of the hardest jobs day after day, re-visiting our own attachments and breaking unhealthy patterns from our own families of origin is hard work...and it's possible. Parenting can be rewarding and bring us to our knees in desperation. We can lose sight of taking care of ourselves along the way. Let's work together so you can stay focused on actually being the type of parent you want to be and need to be - for your kids, your partner, and for yourself.
