Parenting
Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help parents manage the stress, pressure, and emotional demands that come with raising children while also trying to maintain their own well-being, relationships, and responsibilities. Many parents struggle with guilt, overwhelm, irritability, decision fatigue, or feeling like they are never doing enough. In therapy, we work on improving emotional regulation, communication, boundaries, and practical coping strategies. My goal is to help parents feel more grounded, confident, and connected in both parenting and personal life.

Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Parenting is both deeply rewarding and incredibly challenging. Even the most loving parents can feel overwhelmed, unsure, or discouraged when their child’s needs or behaviors seem difficult to manage. I specialize in helping parents understand the “why” behind their child’s emotions and behaviors, develop effective communication and discipline strategies, and restore a sense of confidence and calm within the family.
My work with parents often focuses on navigating developmental changes, improving parent–child relationships, and managing challenges such as anxiety, defiance, emotional regulation difficulties, and family transitions. For parents raising children with unique emotional or behavioral needs, therapy offers tools for setting appropriate limits while maintaining empathy and connection.
When co-parenting after divorce or separation, I provide structured support to help parents maintain consistency, reduce conflict, and protect children from adult stressors. I also assist foster, adoptive, and blended families as they navigate attachment and identity issues that can surface throughout a child’s development.
Grounded in cognitive-behavioral and family systems approaches, sessions focus on increasing emotional awareness, enhancing communication, and promoting a calmer, more connected family environment. My goal is to help parents feel equipped, supported, and empowered to raise resilient, emotionally secure children—while also caring for themselves in the process.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in parenting issues, my approach is founded on collaboration, empathy, and evidence-based interventions. Through a combination of parent education, coaching, and family therapy, I support parents in navigating challenges and fostering healthy relationships with their children. By providing a safe space to explore parenting styles, communication patterns, and family dynamics, I help parents gain insight into their strengths and areas for growth. Together, we develop practical strategies to address behavior management, enhance parent-child interactions, and promote positive development. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of self-care and stress management techniques to support parents in navigating the demands of parenthood effectively. My goal is to empower parents with the tools and confidence they need to cultivate nurturing and resilient family.

Aiki Relationship Institute
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Parenting is one of the biggest challenges many couples deal with. I work with couples to help them develop plans and get on the same page for how they approach their children. I used to work a lot with families and have a good understanding of how family dynamics play out. Now I primarily work with parenting as a subset of my couple therapy rather than working with whole families.
