Jennifer Plumb Vilardaga, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
I love working with parents to manage their stress about being a parent, whether parenting small children and teens or improving relationships with emerging adult and fully grown adult children. Being a parent is a challenge for most of us, particularly those managing multiple life roles (such as paid work, home management, schooling, and other relationships). I am not an expert in WHAT you should do to parent your children well; I am an expert in helping you figure out HOW you want to be as a parent and empower you to seek additional support and resources that might help you achieve your goals. I can help you clear the fog to determine your inner compass for what matters to you most, and hopefully you will find ways to find balance, show up with your children in ways that are important to you, and be the best you you can be as you parent. If you need higher intensity resources for parent-child interactions or higher level skills for managing your child's very difficult behavior, I can help you figure out how and where you might succeed in bringing those specialty services to help your family.

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!

Michele Sitorus (Inner Peace Psychological Care)
Psychologist, Psy.D.
We will explore your parenting styles, beliefs, and goals in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment. Parents will learn to develop effective communication skills, set appropriate boundaries, and manage conflicts within the family. Additionally, therapy may focus on improving parent-child relationships, enhancing parenting self-efficacy, and addressing any underlying issues such as stress or trauma that may be impacting parenting behaviors.

Dr. Evette Addai
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Parenting is hard; it can be even more difficult for parents with children who have a chronic illness, a developmental delay, or mental health needs. I provide a safe, non-judgmental, inclusive space for you to discuss what stresses you out about parenting, plus we will work together to identify your strengths as well as other parts of your identity. I also provide evidence based skills around parenting children who have different diagnoses.
