Anna Richards (Arciero)
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC
I am passionate about the area of parenting. I believe we can impact our children to a great degree by the work we do on ourselves, our nervous systems as well as our approach with our children. Connecting to ourselves as well as our children is the key and foundation to so much. It is through the lens of connection that so much of our parenting dynamics can change and impacting children behavior.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with parents who feel stretched thin by what parenting is asking of them. This may be because your child is neurodivergent, has medical needs, has been through a frightening or overwhelming experience, or because this stage of parenting is simply more intense than you expected. Parents I see often describe feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or on edge much of the time; not knowing how to respond to big emotions, shutdown, or challenging behaviors; worrying about a child’s ADHD, learning needs, or mental health; grieving that family life looks different from what they imagined; feeling tension with a partner or co‑parent about parenting styles, division of labor, or how to support a child; and feeling lonely or unseen in their role, even when they are doing everything they can and know to do.
I work with parents individually, and with couples who want support around how parenting is affecting their relationship. In our work together, there is room for the full range of your experience: love, worry, anger, guilt, and everything in between. We look for ways of relating to your child, and to each other, that feel more grounded, sustainable, and aligned with what matters most to you. I also work with parents who are navigating parenting while healing from their own past experiences, including trauma, complicated family histories, or critical inner voices.

Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
Parenting can be deeply rewarding, but it also comes with stress, self-doubt, and emotional challenges—especially in today’s fast-paced world. I work with parents seeking guidance, clarity, and support in navigating the demands of raising children at any stage, from early childhood to adolescence. Together, we explore effective communication, boundary-setting, and emotional attunement, while also addressing issues like parental burnout, co-parenting, and discipline struggles. My goal is to help you parent with greater confidence, connection, and calm, while also honoring your own needs and well-being.
