Parenting
Dr. Brian Weir
Psychologist, PsyD
Each kid is so different. What works for one, may be a fraughtful approach with another. I can help you to understand your child (or adult child) better, and find better ways to work with and relate to them. When we run out of ideas, we often try to accomplish things with power. This likely ends in a power struggle characterized by defiance and escalation only to expose that we don't have that much power after all. There are better ways to communicate. Our models of parenting are often outdated and what we learned may actually make things more difficult. I will help you to identify what works best for you child and support you and your needs in the process.

Natalie A Shafer
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, LPC
Parenting can be both deeply meaningful and unexpectedly challenging. It often brings moments of joy alongside stress, self-doubt, and shifting expectations. I work with you to explore your experience, strengthen your confidence, and navigate the complexities of parenting in a way that feels grounded and sustainable.

Juliette Grantham
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I'm Juliette Grantham, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist specializing in parenting.
Parenting has a way of stirring up your own history long before you expected it to. You might notice the pull to do things differently than you were raised, a fear of repeating what was done to you even as you catch yourself doing it, or guilt after losing patience with a child you love. A child also reorganizes everything else: your time, your relationships, your sense of who you are. Even a long-wanted child brings losses alongside the joy, and those losses often go unspoken.
I work psychoanalytically, which means we look at what these reactions are communicating rather than only at the moment in front of you. The patterns that surface in parenting carry an unconscious logic worth understanding: old lessons about closeness, conflict, or being cared for that were learned long before you became a parent yourself. As those lessons come into view, they tend to loosen their hold on an ordinary Tuesday, and there is more room to parent from where you actually are rather than from what was passed down to you.
If parenting has brought up more than you expected, I would be glad to talk.

Are you stressed out? And is it getting harder to "just not think about it?" I specialize in helping people work through stressful transitions and high-conflict situations. Through individual or couple's therapy, we can work together to achieve the goals you've wanted, but have felt out of reach.
