Dr. John E. N. Daniel
Marriage and Family Therapist, EdD; EdS; MA; MA; LCMFT#0404011018; BCCLC#0131
Parenting has become a very complex skill in today's postmodern culture. I utilize a combination of psychoeducational therapy and parental coaching in my therapeutic approach. At the core, parental skill development is a highly contextual experience that incorporates thorough family systems assessment. I also take into account a plethora of multicultural variables before embarking on a treatment plan.

Marcy Miller
Pre-Licensed Professional, Ph.D.
Parenting can be deeply meaningful and, at times, incredibly challenging. Many parents find themselves navigating daily struggles around communication, boundaries, emotional outbursts, or feeling unsure how best to support their child while also managing their own stress.
In therapy, we’ll look at both what’s happening in the moment and the deeper relational patterns shaping those interactions. Children’s behaviors, and our responses to them, often carry important emotional signals about needs for connection, structure, and understanding.
I draw from attachment-based and emotionally focused approaches to help parents respond with greater clarity and intention. Together, we’ll work to strengthen communication, build effective and sustainable strategies, and create a family environment that supports both connection and stability. When helpful, I also support co-parenting relationships, with an emphasis on reducing conflict and fostering collaboration.

Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Parenting is one of the most rewarding yet emotionally demanding roles a person can take on. No matter how much you love your child, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or even exhausted by the weight of responsibility. Maybe you struggle with patience, feel guilt over not being the "perfect" parent, or second-guess your decisions. Perhaps you're navigating a tough stage—tantrums, teenage rebellion, or parenting through big life transitions—and you just want to feel more confident in how you show up for your child.
The truth is, there is no perfect way to parent—only a way that works best for you and your family. Together, we will explore the challenges you’re facing, strengthen your ability to set boundaries with love, and help you trust your instincts as a parent. You don’t have to do this alone. With support, self-compassion, and the right tools, parenting can feel less overwhelming and more aligned with the kind of connection and guidance you want to provide for your child.

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.

Nancy Witter
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHCS
I specialize in supporting parents as they navigate the challenges of raising children and strengthening family relationships. Parenting can bring incredible joy, but it can also feel overwhelming when facing behavioral concerns, emotional struggles, communication challenges, or uncertainty about the best way to support your child. Therapy can provide a safe space to explore parenting strategies, better understand your child’s needs, strengthen connection, and build confidence in your role as a parent. My goal is to offer guidance, encouragement, and practical tools to help families create healthier, more positive relationships.
