Robin Renucci
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ed.D, Ed.S, M.Ed, LPC, NCC
Parenting can be one of the most rewarding—and most challenging—roles we take on. I work with parents who are navigating the emotional, behavioral, and developmental complexities of raising children, whether they're in the early years, adolescence, or somewhere in between.
With a background in school counseling and years of clinical experience, I offer a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you can explore parenting concerns such as communication struggles, discipline, co-parenting, school-related challenges, and emotional regulation—for both your child and yourself. My approach emphasizes practical tools, emotional insight, and a deeper understanding of your child’s needs and your own parenting style.
Together, we work to strengthen your confidence, deepen your connection with your child, and develop strategies that support a more peaceful, balanced home environment.

John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT MACP LPCC
Parenting is every word you can imagine, but clients very rarely want to discuss how well their kids are doing. In working with children and being a parent, I know first hand the stressors and trials of parenting. My special sauce is teaching you how to communicate with your child so they listen, and teach you how to listen so you can communicate. Learn to recognize triggers and move through into the world soothed, secure and safe.
