Megan Noren
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Parenting can bring deep joy and connection, but it can also come with stress, self-doubt, and the pressure to get everything right. You may feel overwhelmed by competing demands, struggle with guilt about whether you're doing enough, or find yourself reacting in ways that don't align with the parent you want to be. Therapy offers a space to explore these challenges without judgment, better understand your emotional responses, and reflect on how your own experiences may influence your parenting. Together, we can work toward greater self-compassion, more intentional responses during difficult moments, and a stronger understanding of your needs alongside those of your family. My goal is to help you navigate parenting with greater confidence, flexibility, and connection while making room for your own well-being, too.

“...get my teachers to listen to me about being bored.”
“...not get so stressed out about every thing.”
“...find out how to get out of doing busy-work.”
“...know what to do when I get teased for being smart.”
“...convince my mom that I don’t always have to get A+ .”
“...know how to get out of work I miss because of T & G class.”
“...deal with frustration when I already know the subject.”

Debra Zand
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Parenting therapy helps parents identify, address, and manage their own past or present experiences that may be affecting the way they relate to their child. In some cases, parenting therapy may also help parents better communicate between each other to maintain a cohesive and structured parenting approach. Parenting therapy provides a judgement-free zone for parents to discuss tough moments in parenting and learn how to better manage these tough moments moving forward. Overall, parenting therapy aims to provide parents with the necessary knowledge, tools, guidance, and support to take care of themselves and their children in the most ideal way possible.
