Haley Busch
Psychologist, Ph.D., L.P.
Parenting reactivates your own childhood, usually without announcing that it is doing so. The parents I work with tend to be thoughtful and deliberate, determined not to repeat what was done to them, and then startled by their own reactivity at bedtime. Mentalization-Based Treatment is particularly useful in parenting work: holding your child's mind in mind — wondering what a behavior means rather than only responding to it — is a learnable skill, and it is also what most reliably interrupts a generational pattern. We also work on repair, which matters more than getting it right, and on the guilt that makes repair hard to offer.

Allison King
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, RPT
Maybe it's daily meltdowns, a child who seems anxious or shut down, or a teen who pushes you away no matter what you try. You love your child deeply, yet you're exhausted, second-guessing yourself, and at a loss for what to do next. Most of the time, a child's hard behavior is a signal of big feelings they don't yet have words for. I work with families with children ages 5 and up using Emotionally Focused Family Therapy, which puts the parent-child relationship at the center of healing. Instead of sending your child off to be "fixed," I bring you into the work, because you are the most powerful source of comfort and security in your child's life. Together, we'll uncover what's really driving the struggles, help you read your child's cues with new clarity, and give you the confidence to respond in ways that calm and connect. As your bond grows stronger, the change often comes faster and lasts longer. Give your child the gift of secure relationships to set them up for success.

Given my interest in working with adolescents, I also enjoy working with parents of adolescents to help work on understanding this developmental period better as well as on specific skills to utilize with teens such as communication skills.

Tracy Hadel
Counselor/Therapist, LSCSW
Parenting the child/teen/adult with special needs requires an individualized approach. It is not easy, and many people who have not experienced having a child with disabilities tend to criticize and offer unsolicited and inappropriate advice to those parents. I can help provide guidance and resources for those parents.
