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 Our models of parenting are often outdated and what we learned may actually make things more difficult.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

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.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Modern parenting is fraught and complicated in ways that are unprecedented. Expectations have never been higher while conflicting opinions have never been more overwhelming and easily available. Parents need support to clear out the noise and get in touch with their intuitive knowledge of their own children as well as take care of themselves to show up for their kiddos. My work with parents is practical and informative while also affirming of their own values and priorities for family life.

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.
