Mayme Siders
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Parenting work is often a focus of therapy as all parents struggle with the work life balance of raising children. I have extensive training, education, and experience around childhood development and parenting techniques. My own children are 21, 16, and 10 and the learning (and the challenges) never stop - nor does the need for support, normalization, and encouragement as well as actual education and tips on how things might be improved in this area.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Find ways to cope with the most challenging parts of parenting and find ways to create joy/meaning in your role as a parent. Parenting therapy also helps parents identify, address, and manage their own past or present experiences that may be affecting the way they relate to their child.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Parenting - "All joy and no fun" is a quote I hear often and it resonates. It has been a great joy and the hardest job. It's hard to know if we are "doing it right" and "I don't want to screw up my kid" are the most common things my clients tell me. Let's talk about your parenting values and how this aligns with your parenting reality to learn some ways to increase your confidence.

Jennifer Plumb Vilardaga, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
I love working with parents to manage their stress about being a parent, whether parenting small children and teens or improving relationships with emerging adult and fully grown adult children. Being a parent is a challenge for most of us, particularly those managing multiple life roles (such as paid work, home management, schooling, and other relationships). I am not an expert in WHAT you should do to parent your children well; I am an expert in helping you figure out HOW you want to be as a parent and empower you to seek additional support and resources that might help you achieve your goals. I can help you clear the fog to determine your inner compass for what matters to you most, and hopefully you will find ways to find balance, show up with your children in ways that are important to you, and be the best you you can be as you parent. If you need higher intensity resources for parent-child interactions or higher level skills for managing your child's very difficult behavior, I can help you figure out how and where you might succeed in bringing those specialty services to help your family.
