Gregor Nathanael Schwarz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I specialize in providing parent coaching and family support designed to empower you with the tools necessary to navigate the complexities of raising children and adolescents. My approach moves beyond simple advice, offering a collaborative, evidence-based partnership that focuses on consistent behavioral management, improved communication, and strengthening the parent-child relationship. Whether you are addressing specific behavioral challenges, navigating developmental transitions, or seeking to foster greater emotional regulation at home, I help you develop practical, actionable strategies that align with your family's unique values and goals. I also provide consultation on effective advocacy of children’s needs at school including effective 504 plans or IEP’s.

Tatiana Turo-Handy, PsyD., PMH-C
Psychologist, PsyD. PMH-C
Adjusting to life as a parent can be both beautiful and overwhelming. As a bilingual (Spanish/English) psychologist and PMH‑C certified clinician, I support individuals navigating the emotional challenges of early parenthood, including exhaustion, identity shifts, relationship changes, and the pressure to “get it right.” Therapy offers a steady, compassionate space to explore parenting stress, build confidence, and reconnect with yourself during this major life transition.
I also help parents manage the complex emotions that arise when returning to work after parental leave, such as guilt, anxiety, role strain, and the challenge of balancing caregiving with professional responsibilities. Together, we work toward creating routines, boundaries, and coping strategies that support your well‑being and your family’s needs.

Sara Deese
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, MCAP, LMHC-QS
Parenting is one of the most rewarding—and most challenging—roles you'll ever take on. Whether you're navigating tantrums, teen struggles, blended family dynamics, or simply trying to parent more intentionally, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed at times. I work with parents to explore what’s working, what’s not, and how to build stronger, more connected relationships with their children. Together, we’ll develop practical tools, boost your confidence, and help you parent with greater clarity, compassion, and calm—even during the hard moments.
