Katrina Brown
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MH 17020
For the past 12 years, I have worked with children and their families to employ positive parenting techniques in both outpatient and inpatient settings. While working inpatient for the last seven years, I have successfully collaborated with families to implement TBRI principles in their homes, empowering parents to support their children and enhance the quality of life for the entire family within the home setting.

Parenting: The Ultimate Systemic Challenge
Moving from Survival to Connection
Parenting is perhaps the most profound "attachment laboratory" we will ever enter. It has the power to bring up our greatest joys and our deepest "ghosts" from the past. In my practice, I move beyond standard "behavioral tips" to help parents understand the relational system at play. Whether you are navigating the "toddler years," the "teen years," or the complex transition into adult-child relationships, I provide a space to parent with intention rather than reactivity.
Navigating the Modern Parenting System
Today’s parents are facing unprecedented levels of burnout and overwhelmed by "expert" advice. We work together to find your voice in the noise, addressing:
The "Parental Melt Down": Understanding the neurobiology of why we "flip our lids" and learning somatic tools to stay within your Window of Tolerance when your child is out of theirs.
Neurodivergent Parenting: Providing specialized support for parents of neurodivergent children, or for neurodivergent parents themselves, navigating sensory overstimulation and executive functioning demands.
The Cycle of Rejection Sensitivity: Addressing how our own childhood wounds can make a child’s natural independence feel like a personal rejection.
A Research-Backed, Heart-Centered Approach
With over 20 years of experience and a PhD in Child and Family Studies, I integrate high-level theory with practical, everyday application:
Attachment-Based Parenting: Using Attachment Theory to move away from "power struggles" and toward a secure base where your child feels seen, safe, and soothed.
Systems Theory & Family Dynamics: We look at the "hidden" roles everyone plays in the family. How does the stress in the marriage, the workplace, or the social system impact the child’s behavior?
Parenting through Transition: Supporting families through the "big shifts"—divorce, moving, new siblings, or spiritual deconstruction—ensuring the family bond remains resilient.
Supporting the "Helper" Parent
I have a deep commitment to working with therapists and pastors as parents. It is uniquely difficult to hold space for others all day and then come home to the raw, unfiltered demands of a family. I provide a confidential sanctuary where you can take off the "expert" hat and find the support you need to be the parent you want to be.

Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Parenting can be deeply meaningful, but also exhausting, uncertain, and at times overwhelming. Whether you’re navigating daily stress, challenges with your child, or questions about how you want to show up as a parent, therapy offers a space to reflect and find steadiness. Together, we’ll explore patterns, expectations, and emotional responses, helping you respond more thoughtfully and build a relationship with your child that feels more connected and sustainable.

Parenting
Reiss Psychology Services, PLLC
Psychologist, PsyD
I help parents understand what their teen is experiencing, from the internal experience of anxious or depressive thoughts to the behaviors that often accompany them, so they can respond with empathy rather than frustration or fear. I also coach parents in how to reinforce the skills their teen is learning in session in everyday moments at home. Part of this work involves helping parents recognize their own role in the family system, and adjusting their responses to better support their teen's growth.
