Kalin Palmer, Healing Connections Therapy LLC
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LMHC, LPC
I’ve spent the last few years working in child welfare, so I’ve had an incredible amount of experience working with parents on skills to help allow their child to thrive. This can range from a child that feels out of control to a parent who is simply concerned how their actions may influence their child in the future. I focus on providing warmth and validation combined with structured boundaries and routine, including positive reinforcement (i.e rewarding wanting behaviors to encourage them to happen more)

Sarah Elaine Zimmerman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, EMDR Certified Psychotherapist
For 25+ years I've worked with clients who are trying to be the best parents they can be. Sometimes we need some support and help with strategies to feel in control again. You don't have to do this alone.I've been a parent myself for 26 years so I certainly can relate to what is one of the hardest jobs in the world. Maybe you are adjusting to a new baby, the sleep deprivation and lifestyle changes. You may be struggling because your children have special needs, behavioral issues or have just hit a rough patch in their development. If you are grieving for your child who has recently left for college, I can help support you in the adjustment to your empty nest. and help with strategies so you feel in control again. You don't have to do this alone.

Anne-Britt Ekert Rothstein, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Sometimes there are just a few areas of conflict that need tweaking to make things go more smoothly. Other times, parents feel that many interactions with their child(ren) are problematic and there is much discord in the home. At those times it can feel that just getting through each day is difficult, tiring and family life is lacking a feeling of joy and connection. At one time or another, most kids hit a little snag as they move through development, and all families at some point go through tough stretches. Whatever the specific concern, this can be an opportunity to teach your child that it's possible to overcome difficulties together and make things better.

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.
