Paul Losoff
Psychologist, PsyD
As a parent, I know that parenting can be profoundly challenging and rewarding in equal measure. I offer a supportive space to navigate the joys, struggles, pains and complexities of raising children. Together, we can explore parenting styles, develop effective communication strategies, and build a strong foundation for your family.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Parenting can bring deep meaning alongside ongoing pressure to be patient, present, and emotionally available at all times. Many women find themselves navigating exhaustion, self-doubt, or the tension between caring for their children and maintaining their own identity. In our work together, we focus on understanding how your own experiences shape your parenting responses, strengthening your internal footing, and developing ways to show up that feel grounded and sustainable for both you and your family.

Haley Busch
Psychologist, Ph.D., L.P.
Parenting reactivates your own childhood, usually without announcing that it is doing so. The parents I work with tend to be thoughtful and deliberate, determined not to repeat what was done to them, and then startled by their own reactivity at bedtime. Mentalization-Based Treatment is particularly useful in parenting work: holding your child's mind in mind — wondering what a behavior means rather than only responding to it — is a learnable skill, and it is also what most reliably interrupts a generational pattern. We also work on repair, which matters more than getting it right, and on the guilt that makes repair hard to offer.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
The pressure to be the perfect parent and professional is immense and intense. Our culture covets the perfect life and cultivates a narrative that you can have it all if you just try hard enough. In my most professional capacity, I call NONSENSE on that (insert more forceful word if you'd like). Holistic Life Coaching can be a powerful experience in which we examine, explore, and elevate your own definition of successful parenting, empowering your parental presence according to YOUR values, character, and strengths. I am NOT offering therapy—I leave the work of diagnosis and treatment of medical issues to medical professionals. However, coaching can absolutely complement and supplement any therapy work you are doing; our work together will be therapeutic without being therapy. I offer tools that can increase ease, support the maintenance of positive healthy boundaries, increase satisfaction in your life, improve communication and connection with your children, and so much more. Let's talk about what being a parent means to you.
