Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
Working with parents on parenting concerns in therapy has been an enriching and impactful part of my practice. Understanding the significant role that parenting plays in child development and family dynamics, I approach these sessions with empathy, collaboration, and a strengths-based perspective. By fostering open dialogue and actively listening, I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where parents can explore their concerns, challenges, and goals. Leveraging evidence-based practices and my expertise in child development, I offer practical guidance, psychoeducation, and skill-building exercises to help parents nurture positive parent-child relationships, establish healthy boundaries, and support their children's social, emotional, and cognitive growth.

With parenting coaching, I am thrilled to offer consultation and ongoing support for parents and other caregivers. Please contact me so I can share with you what I’ve learned through my extensive training, 20 years of clinical work, and my personal experience. The job of a parent is always hard, but together we can find ways to make it easier and to reclaim your joy in parenting! Please note that I provide support in all areas of parenting, including the following:
--Adjusting to becoming a new parent
--Children's behavioral, health, or mental health issues
--Negotiating blended families after remarriage
--Introducing a new baby to the family
--Becoming an “empty nester”

Linda Michlin Ludwig
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I am a parent and a grandparent. I am blessed to be in a loving marriage for fifty-three years. I think parenting is both one of the most gratifying of jobs, but also one of the most difficult. No one is a "perfect" parent. As we age many of us will have regrets about some of the ways we parented.
If you are a parent you will have your own unique concerns you will want to talk about. Let's explore what they are.

Debra Zand
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Parenting therapy helps parents identify, address, and manage their own past or present experiences that may be affecting the way they relate to their child. In some cases, parenting therapy may also help parents better communicate between each other to maintain a cohesive and structured parenting approach. Parenting therapy provides a judgement-free zone for parents to discuss tough moments in parenting and learn how to better manage these tough moments moving forward. Overall, parenting therapy aims to provide parents with the necessary knowledge, tools, guidance, and support to take care of themselves and their children in the most ideal way possible.
