Maureen Karol, LMHC
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor
I have worked most of my career with families and the varying dynamics that go along with that population. I truly enjoy working with parents on how they can be more consistent, supportive and open minded. Parenting, like everything else, takes practice and I view myself as a coach to help the process along.

Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
Parenting can be deeply rewarding, but it also comes with stress, self-doubt, and emotional challenges—especially in today’s fast-paced world. I work with parents seeking guidance, clarity, and support in navigating the demands of raising children at any stage, from early childhood to adolescence. Together, we explore effective communication, boundary-setting, and emotional attunement, while also addressing issues like parental burnout, co-parenting, and discipline struggles. My goal is to help you parent with greater confidence, connection, and calm, while also honoring your own needs and well-being.
