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

Rebecca Guarino
Counselor/Therapist, LHMC, CIMHP
As a mother myself I know the stress of trying to juggle it all and feeling all the guilt. This is why I work so often with mothers and offer therapy as well as coaching and retreats to teach women to reduce stress and overwhelm.

Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LPC, LMFT-Associate, LPC-Associate, MT-BC NMT
How many parenting books can one mom or dad read before they figure it all out? At every stage of a child's life, parents can make a positive (or negative) impact. Talking it out with a trained professional can help parents find the ideas that work best for their own family.

Jennifer Plumb Vilardaga, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
I love working with parents to manage their stress about being a parent, whether parenting small children and teens or improving relationships with emerging adult and fully grown adult children. Being a parent is a challenge for most of us, particularly those managing multiple life roles (such as paid work, home management, schooling, and other relationships). I am not an expert in WHAT you should do to parent your children well; I am an expert in helping you figure out HOW you want to be as a parent and empower you to seek additional support and resources that might help you achieve your goals. I can help you clear the fog to determine your inner compass for what matters to you most, and hopefully you will find ways to find balance, show up with your children in ways that are important to you, and be the best you you can be as you parent. If you need higher intensity resources for parent-child interactions or higher level skills for managing your child's very difficult behavior, I can help you figure out how and where you might succeed in bringing those specialty services to help your family.
