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.

Marina Goldenberg
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC
Many parents would agree that though they read the books, and took the classes, and maybe even spent time taking care of children before having their own, they still felt unprepared for parenthood. There are as many reasons why as there are parents, but at the end of the day, it's impossible to be completely prepared for parenting because you just don't know what you don't know. And when you do know it, you still may not know how to make that knowledge work. Parenting, even at the best of times, can be exhausting and stressful, but add on all the other things that complicate our lives - careers, money worries, romantic, platonic and family relationships, other people's expectations and judgments, the lack of support, single parenthood, you name it - and things get harder and harder. And what if your child has special or different needs? It's not easy being a kid, and watching your kid struggle, either with health issues, or mental health, or academics or peer relationships, or literally any of the countless other things that kids have to navigate, can feel like an impossible task. And on top of that you're somehow supposed to take care of yourself and pay the bills? Well look, I can't take those stressors away, but I can help you figure out how to navigate the (maybe literal, maybe figurative) sh!tstorm that is modern parenting, take gentler care of yourself and cultivate a life that honors your values and your hopes and wishes for yourself, your family and your child.

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.

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.

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.

Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
As a parent myself, I understand how challenging and overwhelming parenthood can be. I offer support to parents navigating the emotional, relational, and identity shifts that come with raising children, especially during the early years of parenthood.
I have a particular focus on supporting mothers experiencing postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and the emotional intensity that can come with major hormonal, physical, and life changes after having a baby. During this time, so much can feel out of balance- your body is adjusting, your relationships with partners may shift, sleep and self-care become limited, and you are constantly adapting to your child’s changing developmental stages.
Parenting often comes with a deep desire to “do the right thing,” while also being surrounded by an overwhelming amount of external advice, opinions, and expectations. Many parents I work with feel anxious, uncertain, and afraid of being judged or making mistakes, even while doing their best to care for their child and manage their household.
In our work together, I aim to provide a grounded, reassuring space where you can feel supported rather than judged. We work on reducing anxiety, strengthening confidence, and reconnecting you with your own instincts. I believe that parents, especially mothers, are often their child’s greatest advocate and expert, even when self-doubt makes that hard to feel. My role is to help you trust yourself again, feel less alone, and move through each stage of parenting with more clarity, compassion, and steadiness.

Amanda Martell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I always have felt that you cannot understand what being a mom is like unless you are a mom yourself. On top of being a mother and working with children and families for the past decade, I spent a couple years as a family therapist and was certified as a Multi-Dimensional Family Therapist. I draw from that and solution focused approaches to support in the struggle of being a parent.
