Farrah Bonde
Registered Social Worker, LISW
Therapy for parents offers support and guidance to caregivers as they navigate the challenges of raising children. This type of therapy focuses on enhancing skills, improving communication within the family, and addressing issues such as stress, anxiety, and behavioral problems that may arise in children. By providing a safe space for parents to express their concerns and emotions, therapy can help them develop effective strategies, build resilience, and improve relationships with their children.

Parenting
Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I work with parents at all stages, from early childhood through adolescence, helping them navigate the often complex and evolving challenges of raising children. Parenting can be deeply meaningful, but also demanding, and many parents find themselves feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or stretched in ways they didn’t anticipate.
My approach focuses on helping parents better understand their child’s emotional and developmental needs, while also making space for their own experience. I work collaboratively to strengthen connection, improve communication, and address patterns that may be contributing to conflict or stress within the family.
I also bring particular sensitivity to parenting within adoptive, donor-conceived, and other non-traditional families, where additional layers of identity, communication, and connection may emerge over time.
Above all, I aim to support parents in feeling more confident, grounded, and effective—so they can show up for their children with both clarity and compassion.
