Dr. David Ransen
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT, CHt
Parents with challenging kids generally have no need of conventional therapy. Instead, they need only to better understand that kids think, feel, and behave very differently from adults. In a very short time, parents who learn how best to encourage good behavior and discourage bad behavior see remarkable and lasting changes in their kids' behavior. One simple lesson is among the most powerful: Praise, gratitude and reward for good behavior work wonders, but punishment is neither needed nor helpful. Kids learn just two lessons from punishment. First, they learn to be angry and resentful of whomever punished them. Second, they learn to be more and more clever and sneaky, so that they can continue misbehaving without getting caught. Parents who learn these simple effects of reward and punishment see almost immediate positive changes in their kids' behavior. These changes make kids happier, and dramatically lower the risks of drug use, teen pregnancy, poor grades, and early-morning calls from kids in jail.

Mandy Hines
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, QS, MCAP
I have training in attachment parenting and positive parenting. I often find much behavioral issues of youth can be resolved with changes to parenting techniques. I love to think outside of the box by using age appropriate interventions while tapping into your family’s existing strengths. We live in a world of high expectations for working parents to be 100% available to their kids. I can help you find realistic goals and implement interventions specific to your family’s unique needs. With previous experience as a Reunification Counselor within Family Dependency Court, I have been honored to receive extensive experience in a multitude of situations leading to extreme parenting breakdown. I will be your biggest advocate and cheerleader, s you regain control within your parent-child relationship.

Every parent will experience the joys and sorrows of parenting. As with many other experiences in life, parenting is full of compexities and paradoxes. Discussing family issues with a trained therapist can many times help to bring an acceptable solution.

Monica Buttafava
Counselor/Therapist, M.S., LMHC
No parent is perfect, and parenting can be an exhausting and challenging job, although rewarding and fulfilling at the same time.
Parent-child relationships have a powerful impact on a child's emotional well-being and self-regulating behavior, problem-solving, and creation of healthy social connections.
Parents can empower their children to succeed in life by offering predictable care, being sensitive to their needs, and being emotionally responsive to their affects.
Professional therapists may help parents navigate conflicts and learn how to use strategies to improve their understanding and balance.
