Parenting
Chananya Abraham
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, MS, LPC
I work with parents who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to reach their children or adolescents. Together, we focus on understanding what is driving behaviors beneath the surface, strengthening emotional attunement, and establishing clear, consistent boundaries. My goal is to help parents lead with both warmth and authority, while helping children and teens feel secure, understood, and capable of growth.

Dr. Michael J. Lee
Psychologist
I help parents—whether on their own or with a partner—meet the challenges of parenting with steadiness and clarity. The work is depth-informed and collaborative: we make sense of what is happening at and beneath the surface—stress, uncertainty, and competing values—and turn that understanding into workable steps for communication, boundaries, and repair. The aim is durable change—less reactivity and second-guessing, more alignment, warmth, and confidence in how you respond to your children and, when pertinent, to one another.

Jaclyn Davis
Psychologist, PhD
Parenting can be both deeply meaningful and incredibly overwhelming—sometimes within the same moment. It often brings a profound identity shift, while also stirring up unresolved experiences from your own childhood. Old attachment wounds may resurface, shaping how you relate to your child and how you see yourself as a parent. I work especially with those navigating the postpartum period and early years of parenting—times that can be particularly emotionally taxing and tender. You may find yourself questioning how to connect without conflict, or how to parent differently than you were parented. Through a psychodynamic approach, I help you explore these deeper layers with compassion and curiosity—so you can parent more intentionally, with greater self-awareness and emotional presence.

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.

Beth Clardy Lewis
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-S
Parenting brings equal parts love, overwhelm, and constant decision-making. I help parents navigate behavioral challenges, emotional regulation, boundaries, and the shifting identity that comes with raising humans. With a blend of clinical insight and practical tools, and as a parent myself, I support you in becoming a more grounded, confident parent. Together we build strategies that work in real life — not just in theory.
