Jennifer Warkentin
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Raising humans can be tough work! No matter the age or stage of development, there can be challenges in parenting. This is especially difficult if you're parenting a child who is neurodivergent or who has disabilities. Sometimes parents cannot agree on effective strategies. As a parenting expert, I can offer some insight on managing disruptive behaviors and raising emotionally mature kids.

Linda Friedman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I understand the profound impact a child's challenging behavior can have on the entire family. It strains parental relationships and takes an emotional toll on daily interactions with your child. The journey might feel overwhelming, but there is hope!
As a nationally certified provider of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), I specialize in bringing about transformative changes in children's behaviors, turning family dynamics from stress-ridden to harmonious. I’m committed to assisting families facing challenges such as tantrums, oppositionality, defiance, and aggression.
What sets PCIT apart is its proven effectiveness, backed by over 30 years of research. It's not just a treatment; it's a powerful solution designed for children grappling with behavioral and emotional difficulties. The "secret sauce" lies in the live coaching sessions, where I’ll support you, implementing PCIT tools in real-time. The in the moment feedback empowers parents to quickly master skills that results in tangible improvements in their child's behavior.
Break free from the cycle of stress and tears! Contact me today for a free consult to explore how the PCIT program can bring lasting positive changes and a happier, healthier family life!

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.
