Parenting is a tough a tough job often with many critics. As a parent, we need guidance in dealing with a difficult behavior, or learning to provide for a disabled or ill child. Parent counseling provides parents with the necessary tools to establish guidelines, boundaries, guidance, and effective communication with children from toddler age to teen age.

Monarch-Therapies Kathryn Schormann
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC
My passion is to help people realize what is possible, what they are capable of, and finding their best self. Parenting in today's world is a balancing act between self care and caring for others. Leading your children through life in today's highly volatile world can be scary. I have been there and live it everyday. Whether it is dealing with coparenting issues, sibling discord, anger management, effective parenting style and discipline, scheduling and planning chidren's days, maintaining adult relationships, the physical and emotional demands of parenting can be overwhelming and detrimental to your health. I will walk with you and support you in your journey. I will meet you where you are and together we will collaborate in your personal growth through self discovery, self acknowledgement and self care. We will discover patterns within communiction styles, and looking at past and present experiences to see how they are impacting how you are relating to your child and even your parenting partner. I use a strength based approach, combining it with CBT, mindfulness and somatic approaches. I will support you, providing a safe place to process emotions so you get to the root cause of what is keeping you from feeling fully effective in your parenting.

Jennifer Plumb Vilardaga, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
I love working with parents to manage their stress about being a parent, whether parenting small children and teens or improving relationships with emerging adult and fully grown adult children. Being a parent is a challenge for most of us, particularly those managing multiple life roles (such as paid work, home management, schooling, and other relationships). I am not an expert in WHAT you should do to parent your children well; I am an expert in helping you figure out HOW you want to be as a parent and empower you to seek additional support and resources that might help you achieve your goals. I can help you clear the fog to determine your inner compass for what matters to you most, and hopefully you will find ways to find balance, show up with your children in ways that are important to you, and be the best you you can be as you parent. If you need higher intensity resources for parent-child interactions or higher level skills for managing your child's very difficult behavior, I can help you figure out how and where you might succeed in bringing those specialty services to help your family.
