Hayne Steen
Counselor/Therapist, MAMFT, LMHC, Approved Supervisor
Parents have the most amount of power for good in the lives of their children. No one can bless you any more than a parent. No one can burn you any more than a parent, either. A friend of mine wrote that parenting is not as we imagine it, like precision speed skating. No, instead, it's more like a giraffe on ice skates. Clumsy. Let's explore how you can have more grace for yourself while at the same time take a much-needed inventory of what keeps you from being the parent your child needs.

Dr. David Ransen
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT, CHt
Parents with challenging kids generally have no need of conventional therapy. Instead, they need only to better understand that kids think, feel, and behave very differently from adults. In a very short time, parents who learn how best to encourage good behavior and discourage bad behavior see remarkable and lasting changes in their kids' behavior. One simple lesson is among the most powerful: Praise, gratitude and reward for good behavior work wonders, but punishment is neither needed nor helpful. Kids learn just two lessons from punishment. First, they learn to be angry and resentful of whomever punished them. Second, they learn to be more and more clever and sneaky, so that they can continue misbehaving without getting caught. Parents who learn these simple effects of reward and punishment see almost immediate positive changes in their kids' behavior. These changes make kids happier, and dramatically lower the risks of drug use, teen pregnancy, poor grades, and early-morning calls from kids in jail.

Robin Renucci
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ed.D, Ed.S, M.Ed, LPC, NCC
Parenting can be one of the most rewarding—and most challenging—roles we take on. I work with parents who are navigating the emotional, behavioral, and developmental complexities of raising children, whether they're in the early years, adolescence, or somewhere in between.
With a background in school counseling and years of clinical experience, I offer a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you can explore parenting concerns such as communication struggles, discipline, co-parenting, school-related challenges, and emotional regulation—for both your child and yourself. My approach emphasizes practical tools, emotional insight, and a deeper understanding of your child’s needs and your own parenting style.
Together, we work to strengthen your confidence, deepen your connection with your child, and develop strategies that support a more peaceful, balanced home environment.
