Have you ever talk to someone who made the statement that “when I grow up I'll never parent my children the way my parents parented me?" David, after helping to raise 4 children, created a program to help parents create healthy relationships with their children...of any age.

Stephanie Miodus
Psychologist, PhD, NCSP
I specialize in partnering with parents, caregivers, nannies, and educators to develop customized strategies that promote success both at home and in school. Recognizing the critical role families play in fostering growth and well-being, I emphasize collaboration, open communication, and shared decision-making to create individualized plans that address each child’s unique needs.
In addition to offering general parenting guidance, I provide evidence-based parent training programs, such as Parent Management Training (PMT) to learn effective strategies to reduce behavioral challenges and support positive change for your child, RUBI Parent Training to help manage behavioral challenges and support developmental progress for autistic children, and SPACE to help parents reduce your child’s anxiety by changing how you respond. My approach empowers families with practical tools and strategies to address a wide range of concerns related to autism, ADHD, and other developmental disabilities. Whether navigating challenging behaviors, improving daily routines, or enhancing social-emotional skills, my goal is to strengthen family dynamics and promote positive outcomes.
I also offer family therapy to help improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships within the household. By addressing family dynamics and fostering understanding, my work supports healthier interactions and greater resilience for both children and adults.
Through a compassionate, strengths-based approach, I strive to build strong partnerships that empower parents and caregivers to feel confident and supported every step of the way.

“...know what to do when I get teased for being smart.”
“...convince my mom that I don’t always have to get A+ .”
“...know how to get out of work I miss because of T & G class.”
“...deal with frustration when I already know the subject.”
“...know what to tell my parents when I bomb a test.”

Nicole Lucente
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, NCC
The journey of parenting can be challenging. To further complicate it, we sometimes unintentionally bring our own issues to the parenting dynamic. Whether you are a first time parent, a parent with a unique child or situation, or simply finding yourself needing support during a transition, I can help you through the counseling process.
