Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Parenting is one of the most rewarding and most challenging roles an adult can take on — and yet it is one of the areas where people are least likely to ask for help. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I work with parents navigating parenting stress, child behavioral challenges, co-parenting conflict, blended family dynamics, parenting after divorce, and the emotional weight of raising children through difficult seasons. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and solution-focused intervention, I help parents develop practical tools, healthier communication patterns, and greater confidence in their role. Telehealth parenting therapy available across 40+ states.

Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Parenting can bring up our deepest love as well as our deepest triggers. Many parents find themselves reacting in ways they don’t understand or repeating patterns from their own upbringing. Therapy can help you parent more intentionally, understand your own emotional responses, and build a relationship with your child that feels more connected and less reactive.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Modern parenting is fraught and complicated in ways that are unprecedented. Expectations have never been higher while conflicting opinions have never been more overwhelming and easily available. Parents need support to clear out the noise and get in touch with their intuitive knowledge of their own children as well as take care of themselves to show up for their kiddos. My work with parents is practical and informative while also affirming of their own values and priorities for family life.

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.

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.
