J. Rosalyn Diehl
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, LPPC, LPC
Parenting can be rewarding, but it can also feel overwhelming, exhausting, and full of self-doubt. Whether you're navigating behavioral challenges, co-parenting difficulties, family transitions, or the everyday stress of raising children, therapy can provide support and practical guidance. Together, we'll explore what's working, identify areas of struggle, and develop strategies to help you feel more confident, connected, and effective in your role as a parent while maintaining your own emotional well-being.

Larissa Crane, LICSW, RYT
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW, EMDR Certified
As a parent myself to twin 10-year-old girls, I understand the joys, challenges, and constant demands that come with raising children. Parenting can be rewarding and overwhelming at the same time, especially when your child is struggling with emotions, anxiety, behavior, school, or family changes. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space for parents to work through these challenges, strengthen their relationships with their children, and feel more confident in their parenting. My goal is to help families build connection, communication, and resilience—even during difficult seasons.

Mary Mesiha
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
Parenting brings both joy and challenge, and every stage comes with its own unique struggles (especially those teen years!). I understand the ups and downs of raising children and the emotional weight that can come with wanting to do it “right.” Whether you’re navigating communication, setting boundaries, or supporting your child through change, I offer a supportive space to help you find balance, strengthen connection, and parent with confidence and compassion.

The Becoming Therapy Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, LMFT
Parenting is one of the most meaningful and most demanding roles a person can hold. We support mothers navigating the emotional complexity of raising children at every stage, from the early overwhelm of new motherhood to the challenges of adolescence, transitions, and the identity questions that surface along the way. Therapy can help you show up more intentionally, repair when things go sideways, and care for yourself so you have something real to give.

Valentina Verani, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Parenting is one of life's most meaningful—and most demanding—roles. While I don't claim to have all the answers or offer a list of parenting "rules," I do understand the emotional complexity of trying to care for everyone else without losing yourself in the process. As both a therapist and a parent, I recognize how easy it is to place your own needs, identity, and dreams on hold.
Our work isn't about becoming the person you were before children. It's about embracing the person you're becoming. Together, we'll explore how to navigate the responsibilities of parenthood while reconnecting with the parts of yourself that made you feel alive, authentic, and whole. You don't have to choose between being a devoted parent and honoring your own identity. The goal is to help you step into this season of life with greater confidence, balance, and self-compassion—without abandoning the person you've worked so hard to become.

Linda Marks
Counselor/Therapist, MSM
Listen to your body, follow your heart! When our hearts are wounded through trauma, neglect and deprivation, we lose touch with the heart's power. Depression, anxiety, fear of intimacy, addiction, stuckness may follow. Working through emotional issues at a body level allows for deep, lasting healing

As a parent of now-grown children, I understand firsthand how challenging and demanding (as well as rewarding) parenting can be. Many parents feel isolated in their struggles, but you don’t have to face them alone. In our work together, you’ll receive support every step of the way as we explore your child’s unique needs and identify strategies to nurture their growth and resilience. I focus on helping parents to find and build upon their child's strengths, fostering confidence and competence that can carry them forward . Whether your family is navigating sleep difficulties, behavioral concerns, anxiety, or other challenges, you’ll gain practical tools to help your child build a strong foundation to thrive and flourish.

Ellen S Leventhal
Marriage and Family Therapist, MEd, MA, LMFT
Parenting can be satisfying and fulfilling. But it can also be difficult and time-consuming. Parents must tend to an infant or child’s daily needs. They are also responsible for helping each of their children develop life skills. These skills include daily living skills, social skills, and appropriate behaviors. Parents with more than one child must account for the personalities of each, as well.
