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.

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.

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.
