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.

Allison King
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, RPT
Maybe it's daily meltdowns, a child who seems anxious or shut down, or a teen who pushes you away no matter what you try. You love your child deeply, yet you're exhausted, second-guessing yourself, and at a loss for what to do next. Most of the time, a child's hard behavior is a signal of big feelings they don't yet have words for. I work with families with children ages 5 and up using Emotionally Focused Family Therapy, which puts the parent-child relationship at the center of healing. Instead of sending your child off to be "fixed," I bring you into the work, because you are the most powerful source of comfort and security in your child's life. Together, we'll uncover what's really driving the struggles, help you read your child's cues with new clarity, and give you the confidence to respond in ways that calm and connect. As your bond grows stronger, the change often comes faster and lasts longer. Give your child the gift of secure relationships to set them up for success.

Merritt Leonhardt
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSCSW, CDWF, MCLC
Within any family there are many moving parts, and each members' experiences and struggles have an impact on the functioning of the whole family unit . This is both good news and bad news. The good news is change in one area, or in one member, impacts the family as a whole. The hard part is stepping out and finding a place to start - and I'm here to say, "it won't be as hard as it feels right now."

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.
