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.

Christina Duncan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I support parents navigating the challenges of raising children and teens, including behavior concerns, emotional regulation, communication struggles, and family stress. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, unsure how to respond to certain behaviors, or looking to strengthen your relationship with your child, I offer practical, supportive guidance tailored to your family’s needs. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and nonjudgmental. I help parents better understand their child’s development, build effective strategies for structure and consistency, and respond to challenges in a way that fosters connection and trust. I also have experience supporting parents of neurodivergent children, including those with ADHD and autism, with a focus on creating realistic, sustainable support at home. My goal is to help you feel more confident, supported, and equipped in your role as a parent while building a calmer, more connected family dynamic.
