Ann Abbey
Limited License Psychologist, MA, LLP, RYT
Parenting can be rewarding and incredibly challenging, especially when balancing your own mental health with the needs of your children. I help parents navigate stress, guilt, boundaries, adolescent challenges, neurodivergence and major transitions. Our work focuses on strengthening emotional regulation, communication and connection while supporting you in becoming the parent you want to be. I offer practical tools, compassion and a nonjudgmental space to sort through what’s overwhelming.

Raquel Konja
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I provide supportive, practical guidance for parents navigating the challenges and rewards of raising children. Counseling can help parents strengthen communication, understand their child’s emotional and behavioral needs, establish healthy boundaries, and develop effective parenting strategies. My goal is to help parents feel more confident, connected, and equipped to support their children while maintaining their own emotional well-being.

Parenting
Tatiana Turo-Handy, PsyD., PMH-C
Psychologist, PsyD. PMH-C
Adjusting to life as a parent can be both beautiful and overwhelming. As a bilingual (Spanish/English) psychologist and PMH‑C certified clinician, I support individuals navigating the emotional challenges of early parenthood, including exhaustion, identity shifts, relationship changes, and the pressure to “get it right.” Therapy offers a steady, compassionate space to explore parenting stress, build confidence, and reconnect with yourself during this major life transition.
I also help parents manage the complex emotions that arise when returning to work after parental leave, such as guilt, anxiety, role strain, and the challenge of balancing caregiving with professional responsibilities. Together, we work toward creating routines, boundaries, and coping strategies that support your well‑being and your family’s needs.
