Michael Andrew Brennan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Parenting can bring love and meaning—and also stress, frustration, guilt, and exhaustion. Therapy can help you regulate your own nervous system, respond more intentionally, and break patterns you don’t want to pass on. We’ll focus on steadiness, clarity, and realistic change.

Valerie Rosen
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a parent myself, I understand the practical and emotional challenges of raising children, and the stress it adds to our lives and our adult relationships. As a relational therapist, I'm especially aware of how being a parent can trigger unresolved feelings about our own childhoods. Sometimes we need help with how to talk to our kids, how to set boundaries, and how to make room for healthy outlets to meet our own needs. Even for the most well-prepared parents, navigating your kids' development and especially their challenges can be overwhelming sometimes. Therapy for yourself can be a helpful place to process your feelings, learn more about child development, and get support with parenting and co-parenting.

Lauren Chavis
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
Parenting can bring enormous love alongside stress, self-doubt, frustration, and the feeling that you're never quite getting it right. I work with parents who want to better understand their own reactions, navigate challenging family dynamics, and find approaches to parenting that feel both effective and consistent with the kind of parent they want to be.
