Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Parenting is both deeply rewarding and incredibly challenging. Even the most loving parents can feel overwhelmed, unsure, or discouraged when their child’s needs or behaviors seem difficult to manage. I specialize in helping parents understand the “why” behind their child’s emotions and behaviors, develop effective communication and discipline strategies, and restore a sense of confidence and calm within the family.
My work with parents often focuses on navigating developmental changes, improving parent–child relationships, and managing challenges such as anxiety, defiance, emotional regulation difficulties, and family transitions. For parents raising children with unique emotional or behavioral needs, therapy offers tools for setting appropriate limits while maintaining empathy and connection.
When co-parenting after divorce or separation, I provide structured support to help parents maintain consistency, reduce conflict, and protect children from adult stressors. I also assist foster, adoptive, and blended families as they navigate attachment and identity issues that can surface throughout a child’s development.
Grounded in cognitive-behavioral and family systems approaches, sessions focus on increasing emotional awareness, enhancing communication, and promoting a calmer, more connected family environment. My goal is to help parents feel equipped, supported, and empowered to raise resilient, emotionally secure children—while also caring for themselves in the process.

Dr. Stephanie Vaughn
Psychologist, Psy.D., DBT-LBC™
If it’s therapy between multiple family members that you need, we have therapists with experience.
Family therapy can be a great place to start or the perfect place to “end up.” When one member of the family is having issues, it affects EVERY member. How each person copes with problems is unique. If there is one thing a family therapist might share it would be this: When each person works to “own their part,” change is more likely to occur. Sometimes, it works best if individual therapy comes first—there may be a history of misunderstandings that need to be worked through before you all get together in the same room. Family therapy is even possible online. Each member can join from separate rooms, or they can sit together—just like in person. Learning the basics of healthy communication, identifying hidden resentments, and exploring unspoken family “rules” can be tough, but absolutely worth it. Let our therapists help to bring your family closer.

Kelli Tahaney
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Ph.D.
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.

Wichita's economy is anchored by aerospace manufacturing and agriculture, and therapists here frequently address the psychological pressures of industrial work, shift schedules, and the boom-bust cycles of manufacturing employment. The city has a large Hispanic population and growing Somali and Burmese communities from refugee resettlement, creating demand for multilingual and culturally informed therapists who work with immigration stress and cross-cultural family dynamics. Via Christi Health and Wesley Medical Center provide major institutional mental health resources, while the city's mid-size scale means many therapists maintain more accessible practices than in larger metros. Wichita's conservative faith community means spiritually integrated therapy is a common offering across many local practices.
