Brianna Kriley, Wellness Rooted Counseling
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, ACS, NCC, LMHC, LPC
There are countless books on parenting, but real life is always more complicated. Parenting is humbling and challenging, especially if you’ve experienced trauma yourself. You might feel extra protective, or find it hard to connect with a child who’s different from you or from what you expected. I support parents in loving themselves, recognizing both their own and their child’s unique needs, and finding new ways to be supportive. This is a safe space to acknowledge that parenting is hard, and that struggling doesn’t make you a bad parent. I won’t tell you how to parent, but I’ll help you explore your options, recognize your strengths, and work toward the kind of parent you want to be.

Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
Working with parents on parenting concerns in therapy has been an enriching and impactful part of my practice. Understanding the significant role that parenting plays in child development and family dynamics, I approach these sessions with empathy, collaboration, and a strengths-based perspective. By fostering open dialogue and actively listening, I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where parents can explore their concerns, challenges, and goals. Leveraging evidence-based practices and my expertise in child development, I offer practical guidance, psychoeducation, and skill-building exercises to help parents nurture positive parent-child relationships, establish healthy boundaries, and support their children's social, emotional, and cognitive growth.

Brad Croyle
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
I work with clients who struggle with Parenting issues. This can be difficult in today's fast paced and stressful society with so many demands competing for our time. We will explore all factors that may be contributing to any problems or issues, and we will collaborate to create a plan for addressing them that helps you to resolve them in a meaningful and practical manner to achieve a healthy family atmosphere and environment. I practice from a Holistic perspective and commonly employ EMDR and other effective modalities with helping clients achieve balance and purpose in their lives and creative solutions to their problems. This includes exploring past issues and trauma that may be a factor presently. Our goal is to make lasting and desired changes to promote healthy relationships and positive interactions. Family is considered to be the most important thing in this life, and we will work to restore this to establish healthy boundaries, coping skills and techniques to foster healthy dynamics and balance within your family unit.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
Parenting is not for the faint of heart. In my work with parents, I focus on providing a warm, supportive, and collaborative environment to help them navigate the challenges of parenting in today’s world. I understand that parents face unique pressures and that children and adolescents today encounter complex issues, from social media influences to academic stress. I work closely with parents to use their creativity and imagination in finding engaging and meaningful ways to connect with and support their children. Whether it’s developing more engaging and impactful communication strategies or creating special bonding activities, I help parents explore approaches that resonate with their children and foster positive relationships. Additionally, I assist parents in addressing and healing their own childhood wounds, which can sometimes impact their parenting responses. By working through these personal challenges, parents can approach their roles with greater clarity and empathy, ultimately enhancing their ability to nurture and guide their children more successfully across each unique developmental stage.
