Anne Zakaras
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, ATR-BC, PMH-C
Parenting is one of the most rewarding journeys life can offer—but it can also be incredibly isolating, overwhelming, and exhausting. Whether you are navigating the intense identity shifts of the postpartum period, struggling with the daily invisible load of raising a family, or facing deep professional and parental burnout, Anne provides a warm, non-judgmental, and deeply collaborative space just for you. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C), she partners with mothers, fathers, and caregivers to build the emotional resilience needed to show up for their children without losing themselves.
Anne’s integrative approach goes beyond standard parenting advice. By combining traditional psychotherapy with Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and creative art therapy, she helps parents regulate their own nervous systems, manage reactive parenting triggers, and process the anxiety or depression that often flies under the radar. Whether you are navigating a difficult family transition, dealing with parental grief, or balancing parenting alongside a chronic illness or medical diagnosis, Anne is dedicated to helping you develop practical coping strategies to move from a state of survival to one of connection and calm.

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.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with parents who feel stretched thin by what parenting is asking of them. This may be because your child is neurodivergent, has medical needs, has been through a frightening or overwhelming experience, or because this stage of parenting is simply more intense than you expected. Parents I see often describe feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or on edge much of the time; not knowing how to respond to big emotions, shutdown, or challenging behaviors; worrying about a child’s ADHD, learning needs, or mental health; grieving that family life looks different from what they imagined; feeling tension with a partner or co‑parent about parenting styles, division of labor, or how to support a child; and feeling lonely or unseen in their role, even when they are doing everything they can and know to do.
I work with parents individually, and with couples who want support around how parenting is affecting their relationship. In our work together, there is room for the full range of your experience: love, worry, anger, guilt, and everything in between. We look for ways of relating to your child, and to each other, that feel more grounded, sustainable, and aligned with what matters most to you. I also work with parents who are navigating parenting while healing from their own past experiences, including trauma, complicated family histories, or critical inner voices.
