Vanessa Harnischmacher
Counsellor/Therapist, Bach of Social Science (Psychology), Grad Dip Couple and Family Therapy.
Parenting can be the best and most challenging time for many of us. I really enjoy providing a compassionate and non-judgemental environment for parents to understand their children's behavior and discover ways to build a loving and warm parent child relationship. Counselling can also assist parents to work as a team by acknowledging and respecting both parent's ideas and values and developing shared parenting strategies. I can share attachment-based, neurobiologically informed strategies for supporting your children to thrive.

Shareen Birges
Registered Social Worker, BASS, GDYMH, MSW
Working with teens & their families has given me extensive experience in supporting parents. This has included providing information & knowledge on how best to support their parenting. Every parent does the best they can & the guidance I provide is centered around how parents they can adapt & improve their parenting rather than blaming or criticizing. Its important that parents feel comfortable to work with me in a collaborative way otherwise their is no room for change so I focus on building a relationship with parents where they feel safe and comfortable to share experiences and work with me. No parent is perfect & usually working in improving parenting is about learning how best to support your kids & their individual, & collective, needs.

Alexina Baldini
Psychologist, B.B.Sc., G.D.A.C.P., M.Psych.(For.), F.A.P.S.
One of the roles that requires the most skill, we are often not trained to be parents until starting to think about having a family, and then it is often just focused on the giving birth process. We then see parents who may be reluctant to ask for support until their situation feels desperate and their children are demanding, clingy or displaying other challenging behaviours that prompt help-seeking. Our therapists provide supportive guidance to parents using a range of treatment modalities that include attachment-focused therapy and practical environmental analysis and change implementation.
