Karina Baltazar-Durán LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
If being a kid or teen isn't hard enough, parenting one (or several) def is. It's so difficult to manage our emotions and our kid's emotions simultaneously and sometimes it can feel like there's never a break! Allow me to hold the space for you to explore the parent you are vs the parent you want to be, while reminding you, you're still human and have a great identity outside of being a parent.

GPS Counseling, LLC, Georgia Smith-Lyle, MA, LPC-S
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor
Well, parenting is an art in itself and there’s so much written about healthy parenting. Having raised three grown children and now having a blended family of 16 grandchildren, I can say that parenting is not for the faint of heart. I’ve read much and studied much about healthy parenting, and this is another area that I love to help parents with.

Marcus A. McDuffie Sr.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW-S, BCD
If you’re a parent feeling overwhelmed by communication challenges, difficult behaviors, discipline decisions, competing responsibilities, or concerns about staying connected with your child, therapy can help. Parenting can be deeply rewarding, but it can also bring stress, uncertainty, frustration, and self-doubt. In therapy, you’ll have a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore your parenting experiences, better understand your child’s needs and behaviors, strengthen your parenting skills, and develop practical strategies that fit your family.
Together, we can work toward improving communication, setting healthy boundaries, navigating discipline with greater confidence, strengthening the parent-child relationship, and creating a healthier, more connected family environment. Therapy can help you feel more confident in your parenting, respond to challenges with greater intention, and support your family’s emotional well-being.
I also work with individuals, couples, and families experiencing depression, anxiety, grief and loss, work and career challenges, PTSD and trauma-related concerns, stress, ADHD, anger management, and many other therapeutic concerns. Through compassionate, personalized care, I can help you better understand yourself and your family, build on your strengths, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Parenting: The Ultimate Systemic Challenge
Moving from Survival to Connection
Parenting is perhaps the most profound "attachment laboratory" we will ever enter. It has the power to bring up our greatest joys and our deepest "ghosts" from the past. In my practice, I move beyond standard "behavioral tips" to help parents understand the relational system at play. Whether you are navigating the "toddler years," the "teen years," or the complex transition into adult-child relationships, I provide a space to parent with intention rather than reactivity.
Navigating the Modern Parenting System
Today’s parents are facing unprecedented levels of burnout and overwhelmed by "expert" advice. We work together to find your voice in the noise, addressing:
The "Parental Melt Down": Understanding the neurobiology of why we "flip our lids" and learning somatic tools to stay within your Window of Tolerance when your child is out of theirs.
Neurodivergent Parenting: Providing specialized support for parents of neurodivergent children, or for neurodivergent parents themselves, navigating sensory overstimulation and executive functioning demands.
The Cycle of Rejection Sensitivity: Addressing how our own childhood wounds can make a child’s natural independence feel like a personal rejection.
A Research-Backed, Heart-Centered Approach
With over 20 years of experience and a PhD in Child and Family Studies, I integrate high-level theory with practical, everyday application:
Attachment-Based Parenting: Using Attachment Theory to move away from "power struggles" and toward a secure base where your child feels seen, safe, and soothed.
Systems Theory & Family Dynamics: We look at the "hidden" roles everyone plays in the family. How does the stress in the marriage, the workplace, or the social system impact the child’s behavior?
Parenting through Transition: Supporting families through the "big shifts"—divorce, moving, new siblings, or spiritual deconstruction—ensuring the family bond remains resilient.
Supporting the "Helper" Parent
I have a deep commitment to working with therapists and pastors as parents. It is uniquely difficult to hold space for others all day and then come home to the raw, unfiltered demands of a family. I provide a confidential sanctuary where you can take off the "expert" hat and find the support you need to be the parent you want to be.
