Sara Deese
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, MCAP, LMHC-QS
Parenting is one of the most rewarding—and most challenging—roles you'll ever take on. Whether you're navigating tantrums, teen struggles, blended family dynamics, or simply trying to parent more intentionally, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed at times. I work with parents to explore what’s working, what’s not, and how to build stronger, more connected relationships with their children. Together, we’ll develop practical tools, boost your confidence, and help you parent with greater clarity, compassion, and calm—even during the hard moments.

Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Grief is a deeply personal experience that unfolds differently for everyone. There is no "right" way to grieve, and healing rarely follows a predictable path. My role is to provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can process your loss at your own pace, make sense of the emotions that arise, and gradually find ways to move forward while honoring the significance of what you've lost.

James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
I participated in raising my own 3 children, and I have helped countless other parents to raise theirs. I try to come to a quick, adequate understanding of the unconscious patterns in parents that lead them to evoke frustrating, unhappy patterns of interaction with children, and work with them to develop alternatives that work more happily for all parties. When a child is so disabled for whatever reason, as to present pressing, unusual challenges for a parent, I try to play the role of an inventive resource for creating better strategies for dealing whatever those challenges are. Raising children is an infinitely complex arena which can bring out all of life's challenges along with its deepest pleasures. I try to use my permission to take part in the family's life to move things in the direction of less conflict and frustration and more mutual growth and interest.

Middle Path Wellness Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW, LPC, PLPC
We specialize in supporting parents who feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure of how to navigate the emotional and relational challenges of raising children. Parenting often brings up unexpected triggers, self-doubt, and the pressure to “get it right,” especially while balancing work, relationships, and the mental load of daily life. Many parents find themselves reacting in ways they didn’t intend or feeling disconnected from the kind of parent they want to be. Our approach helps parents understand both their child’s emotional needs and their own, strengthen attachment and communication, and respond with greater confidence and calm. Therapy provides a space to reflect, reset, and develop tools that support a more connected, intentional, and sustainable parenting experience.
