If it’s therapy between multiple family members that you need, we have therapists with experience.
Family therapy can be a great place to start or the perfect place to “end up.” When one member of the family is having issues, it affects EVERY member. How each person copes with problems is unique. If there is one thing a family therapist might share it would be this: When each person works to “own their part,” change is more likely to occur. Sometimes, it works best if individual therapy comes first—there may be a history of misunderstandings that need to be worked through before you all get together in the same room. Family therapy is even possible online. Each member can join from separate rooms, or they can sit together—just like in person. Learning the basics of healthy communication, identifying hidden resentments, and exploring unspoken family “rules” can be tough, but absolutely worth it. Let our therapists help to bring your family closer.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Parenting is often talked about in simplified ways—but in reality, it’s layered, demanding, and constantly evolving. Whether you’re parenting on your own, co-parenting, or parenting within a partnership, it can bring up questions about how you show up, what your child needs, and how to stay grounded in the middle of everything else you’re carrying. Cultural expectations around parenting can add even more pressure—what it should look like, how children should behave, and what it means to be a “good” parent—often without accounting for the realities families are actually living in.
For those navigating co-parenting, the dynamics can be especially complex. Some families operate collaboratively, leaning on each other for shared support and consistency. Others are navigating more strained dynamics, including parallel parenting—where parents function separately with limited coordination. While this can sometimes reduce direct conflict, it often requires ongoing adjustment, especially for children moving between environments, and can leave parents carrying more of the logistical and emotional load.
At Nour Counseling, we support parents in building approaches that feel grounded, intentional, and sustainable. We offer psychoeducation on attachment, child development, and relational dynamics so you can better understand what’s happening beneath behaviors—both your child’s and your own. We also work with you on communication, boundaries, emotional regulation, and creating structures that actually fit your family system. This is not about perfection—it’s about helping you parent in a way that feels more aligned, more supported, and more connected to both your child and yourself.

Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Parenting is both deeply rewarding and incredibly challenging. Even the most loving parents can feel overwhelmed, unsure, or discouraged when their child’s needs or behaviors seem difficult to manage. I specialize in helping parents understand the “why” behind their child’s emotions and behaviors, develop effective communication and discipline strategies, and restore a sense of confidence and calm within the family.
My work with parents often focuses on navigating developmental changes, improving parent–child relationships, and managing challenges such as anxiety, defiance, emotional regulation difficulties, and family transitions. For parents raising children with unique emotional or behavioral needs, therapy offers tools for setting appropriate limits while maintaining empathy and connection.
When co-parenting after divorce or separation, I provide structured support to help parents maintain consistency, reduce conflict, and protect children from adult stressors. I also assist foster, adoptive, and blended families as they navigate attachment and identity issues that can surface throughout a child’s development.
Grounded in cognitive-behavioral and family systems approaches, sessions focus on increasing emotional awareness, enhancing communication, and promoting a calmer, more connected family environment. My goal is to help parents feel equipped, supported, and empowered to raise resilient, emotionally secure children—while also caring for themselves in the process.
