Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
Parenting is not for the faint of heart. In my work with parents, I focus on providing a warm, supportive, and collaborative environment to help them navigate the challenges of parenting in today’s world. I understand that parents face unique pressures and that children and adolescents today encounter complex issues, from social media influences to academic stress. I work closely with parents to use their creativity and imagination in finding engaging and meaningful ways to connect with and support their children. Whether it’s developing more engaging and impactful communication strategies or creating special bonding activities, I help parents explore approaches that resonate with their children and foster positive relationships. Additionally, I assist parents in addressing and healing their own childhood wounds, which can sometimes impact their parenting responses. By working through these personal challenges, parents can approach their roles with greater clarity and empathy, ultimately enhancing their ability to nurture and guide their children more successfully across each unique developmental stage.

Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I work with parents at all stages, from early childhood through adolescence, helping them navigate the often complex and evolving challenges of raising children. Parenting can be deeply meaningful, but also demanding, and many parents find themselves feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or stretched in ways they didn’t anticipate.
My approach focuses on helping parents better understand their child’s emotional and developmental needs, while also making space for their own experience. I work collaboratively to strengthen connection, improve communication, and address patterns that may be contributing to conflict or stress within the family.
I also bring particular sensitivity to parenting within adoptive, donor-conceived, and other non-traditional families, where additional layers of identity, communication, and connection may emerge over time.
Above all, I aim to support parents in feeling more confident, grounded, and effective—so they can show up for their children with both clarity and compassion.
