Parenting can be rewarding, but it can also bring stress, uncertainty, frustration, and difficult decisions. Our practice provides parenting counseling and parent support for parents and caregivers who want to strengthen relationships with their children, improve communication, establish healthy boundaries, and develop effective parenting strategies.
Our clinicians work with parents experiencing concerns related to child behavior, emotional regulation, discipline, parent-child conflict, communication difficulties, co-parenting, divorce, separation, blended families, and family transitions. We help parents better understand their children's emotional and behavioral needs while developing practical strategies that promote consistency, structure, healthy communication, and positive family relationships.
Whether you are facing everyday parenting challenges or significant family stress, our parenting counseling services are designed to help parents build confidence, strengthen parenting skills, and create healthier connections with their children.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
Parenting is not for the faint of heart. In my work with parents, I focus on providing a warm, supportive, and collaborative environment to help them navigate the challenges of parenting in today’s world. I understand that parents face unique pressures and that children and adolescents today encounter complex issues, from social media influences to academic stress. I work closely with parents to use their creativity and imagination in finding engaging and meaningful ways to connect with and support their children. Whether it’s developing more engaging and impactful communication strategies or creating special bonding activities, I help parents explore approaches that resonate with their children and foster positive relationships. Additionally, I assist parents in addressing and healing their own childhood wounds, which can sometimes impact their parenting responses. By working through these personal challenges, parents can approach their roles with greater clarity and empathy, ultimately enhancing their ability to nurture and guide their children more successfully across each unique developmental stage.

Parenting becomes especially difficult when a child or teen is struggling emotionally, behaviorally, or within the family system. Our psychologists help parents understand difficult patterns, improve communication, set effective limits, and respond in ways that support both meaningful change and the parent-child relationship.

Parenting
Dr. Brian Weir
Psychologist, PsyD
Each kid is so different. What works for one, may be a fraughtful approach with another. I can help you to understand your child (or adult child) better, and find better ways to work with and relate to them. When we run out of ideas, we often try to accomplish things with power. This likely ends in a power struggle characterized by defiance and escalation only to expose that we don't have that much power after all. There are better ways to communicate. Our models of parenting are often outdated and what we learned may actually make things more difficult. I will help you to identify what works best for you child and support you and your needs in the process.
