Erin Anderson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MS, MSW, LCSW
I provide compassionate and practical parent coaching to support caregivers in navigating the challenges of raising children. I create a supportive, judgment-free space where parents can explore their concerns, strengthen their skills, and build more positive connections with their children. Using a strengths-based and solution-focused approach, I help parents develop effective communication strategies, set healthy boundaries, and foster emotional resilience in both themselves and their children. Whether managing behavioral challenges, adjusting to new family dynamics, or seeking more confidence in parenting, my goal is to empower caregivers with the tools and insight needed to create a nurturing, balanced family environment.

Michael Losoff
Psychologist, PhD
Michael shifts the focus from "fixing" children's behavior to understanding the relational dynamics and "unconscious scripts" that shape a family’s emotional life.
Parenting often feels like a series of fires to put out, but beneath the daily friction lies a complex web of generational patterns and emotional triggers. With 35 years of experience, Michael works with parents to move beyond surface-level discipline strategies and toward a deeper understanding of the parent-child relationship. By exploring how your own upbringing influences your current reactions, he helps you break free from reactive cycles and create a more intentional, secure environment for your children. Whether you are navigating the challenges of adolescence or adjusting to the shifts of early childhood, the goal is to foster a family system where both parent and child feel seen, understood, and connected.

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.

Jennifer Nudo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
Parenting a small child is not easy! In my practice, I work with many parents who are experiencing challenges with parenting an infant or small child. Whether you are coping with sleep difficulties, trouble with feeding, or nerve wracking tantrums, therapy can help you be the parent you want to be and have a life outside of parenting at the same time.

Aaliyah Gilbert
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSW
Parenting can be both meaningful and overwhelming, often bringing up stress, self-doubt, and competing demands. I support parents as they navigate the emotional challenges of raising children, including managing behavior concerns, strengthening connection, and balancing personal needs with family responsibilities. In our work together, we explore patterns, communication strategies, and ways to respond more intentionally rather than reactively. My goal is to help you feel more confident, supported, and grounded in your parenting approach while also making space for your own emotional well-being.
