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.

Heidi Metcalf
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPCC
We want the best for our children, but it can be tricky sometimes to know what to do to help. Often we rely on our own well meaning, but often flawed, upbringing as a default setting. To parent with consciousness, respect and calm in this day and age is challenging to say the least. In my practice, we explore the dynamics of your family relationships, your values, your desires for your child, as well as the needs and wants of your child. Counseling can be wonderful support in the challenging process of growing a happy human. Please call me for a free 20 minute phone consultation to see if we might be a good fit for your counseling needs.

Marylouise Kuti with MKB Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Using a Circle of Security attachment-based approach, I support parents and caregivers in understanding their child’s emotional needs and the patterns that shape connection within relationships. Together, we explore ways to strengthen secure attachment, increase emotional awareness, and navigate parenting challenges with greater confidence and attunement. This work helps create more connected, responsive relationships grounded in safety, trust, and understanding.

Elissa Chazdon
Counselor/Therapist, LMSW, LSW
Every parent hits a point where the instincts they started with aren't quite enough — the strategies that used to work stop working, or you're just plain tired of yelling, negotiating, or feeling like the bad guy. My psycho-educational groups give parents and coparents practical, firm-but-loving tools for communication, limit-setting, and follow-through, so you can raise kids who are respectful and self-directed without losing your patience — or yourself — in the process.
