Parenting
Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
Working with parents on parenting concerns in therapy has been an enriching and impactful part of my practice. Understanding the significant role that parenting plays in child development and family dynamics, I approach these sessions with empathy, collaboration, and a strengths-based perspective. By fostering open dialogue and actively listening, I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where parents can explore their concerns, challenges, and goals. Leveraging evidence-based practices and my expertise in child development, I offer practical guidance, psychoeducation, and skill-building exercises to help parents nurture positive parent-child relationships, establish healthy boundaries, and support their children's social, emotional, and cognitive growth.

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.

Kate Koslowsky
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Many parents come to therapy feeling worn down by the constant demands of caring for others. I offer an approach that combines practical problem-solving with deeper exploration of the emotional side of parenting. Along with learning tools to cope with stress, frustration, and guilt, we look at how your history, expectations, and relationships shape the way you respond to your child and to yourself. This balance can help parenting feel less reactive and more intentional.

Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Parenting is one of the most rewarding yet emotionally demanding roles a person can take on. No matter how much you love your child, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or even exhausted by the weight of responsibility. Maybe you struggle with patience, feel guilt over not being the "perfect" parent, or second-guess your decisions. Perhaps you're navigating a tough stage—tantrums, teenage rebellion, or parenting through big life transitions—and you just want to feel more confident in how you show up for your child.
The truth is, there is no perfect way to parent—only a way that works best for you and your family. Together, we will explore the challenges you’re facing, strengthen your ability to set boundaries with love, and help you trust your instincts as a parent. You don’t have to do this alone. With support, self-compassion, and the right tools, parenting can feel less overwhelming and more aligned with the kind of connection and guidance you want to provide for your child.
