Debra Zand
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Parenting therapy helps parents identify, address, and manage their own past or present experiences that may be affecting the way they relate to their child. In some cases, parenting therapy may also help parents better communicate between each other to maintain a cohesive and structured parenting approach. Parenting therapy provides a judgement-free zone for parents to discuss tough moments in parenting and learn how to better manage these tough moments moving forward. Overall, parenting therapy aims to provide parents with the necessary knowledge, tools, guidance, and support to take care of themselves and their children in the most ideal way possible.

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.
15 Years Experience

St. Louis sits at a crossroads of the Midwest and the South, and its deeply segregated geography shapes a mental health landscape where therapists frequently address racial trauma, economic stress, and community-level grief rooted in the city's long history of systemic inequality. The 2014 Ferguson uprising brought national attention to St. Louis and left a lasting psychological mark on many residents, and therapists specializing in racial trauma, activism fatigue, and community healing remain in strong demand. Washington University School of Medicine and Barnes-Jewish Hospital provide world-class institutional mental health resources, with a strong private practice community concentrated in Clayton, the Central West End, and South City. St. Louis's lower cost of living relative to coastal cities makes quality private therapy more financially accessible for many residents.
