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.

As someone who used to see children and was specifically trained in Child Development and Family systems, I can provide parenting guidance to those who are struggling or want to ensure their parenting methods are as good as possible. This treatment can include two partners or an individual parent. My goal is to help you feel more confident and confident, and experience the joy of parenting without anxiety or worry holding you back.

Louis Hoffman
Psychologist, PhD
Parenting can be one of life's most meaningful and rewarding experiences, while also bringing significant challenges, uncertainty, and emotional demands. Navigating children's developmental needs, family relationships, differing parenting approaches, and the complexities of balancing care for others with one's own well-being can sometimes feel overwhelming. Drawing on relational strategies, I help parents better understand themselves, their children, and the relational patterns that shape family interactions. My approach emphasizes empathy, authenticity, open communication, and respect for each family member's unique experiences and needs. Rather than prescribing a single approach to parenting, I work collaboratively with parents to explore their values, strengthen emotional connections, navigate challenges, and develop more intentional and compassionate ways of relating to their children.
