Nadira Jackson - TherapyWithDira
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
As a parent, I understand deeply how parenting can be both rewarding and exhausting, especially when you’re balancing your own healing while raising children. In our work, we’ll explore your triggers, patterns, and hopes as a parent, so you can respond with more patience and compassion rather than reacting from stress or guilt. My goal is to help you feel grounded and confident in your role, while also nurturing yourself along the way.

Anneka Gavrin
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Parenting can be deeply meaningful, and incredibly demanding. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, questioning yourself, struggling with your child's behavior, or trying to break patterns from your own upbringing, therapy offers space to slow down and find your footing. Together, we'll help you respond with greater clarity, confidence, and connection, both with your child and with yourself.

Cicek Erdem
Psychologist, PhD
Parenthood often changes us in ways we do not fully anticipate. Alongside love and meaning, it can bring exhaustion, anxiety, grief, resentment, loneliness, shifting identities, and questions about how we want to parent differently than we were parented. You may feel stretched thin, overwhelmed by competing demands, or disconnected from yourself or your partner. Therapy can offer space to slow down, better understand these experiences, and navigate parenting with greater intention, compassion, and support.

Timothy W. Logsdon
Licensed Professional Counselor, MSEd,LMHC,NCC
Kids do not come with manuals. Even more so, kids who have addictions or other heavy needs make it even more difficult and confusing to know what to do and where to turn for help. With experience with Emotionally Disturbed Youth, managing group homes, and working for the county mental health I have deep experience in helping parents to find their way. I will help you see where you may have missed some of the basics of behavioral management, where you may be communicating mixed or unintentional messages and how to guide your child (or adult child) to a better place.
