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 Our models of parenting are often outdated and what we learned may actually make things more difficult.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.

Marc Feinberg
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, CBC
“You won’t always get it right, but you’ll always have the chance to make it right. Parenting isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence. It’s the daily act of showing up with love, patience, and grace, even when you’re exhausted or unsure. Every moment you choose connection over correction, you’re building something sacred: trust and unconditional love.”
