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.

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.

Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Being a parent is a tough. Regardless of the age of your child(ren), it can be easy to feel stuck or overwhelmed when trying to navigate the complexities of your child's development. It's common for parents to feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or exhausted, especially when trying to discover the best approaches for you and your family. In our sessions, we partner together to work through parenting challenges while gaining deeper understanding and compassion for both you and your child. We can build additional insights into the expectations you hold for yourself and your family, while uncovering how many of these beliefs may have been shaped by your own experiences and upbringing. Using your values to guide the way, our sessions focus on developing and tailoring parenting strategies that align with the type of relationship you want to foster with your child, and that can support greater cohesion, respect for your and your child's humanness, and increased connection.
