Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
Boy is parenting hard! Tough love is always tougher on the parent than the child. I have been teaching parenting classes and working with parent for over 20 years. I listen to parents describe their children and their unique situation and collect the data to inform the suggestions I give them. Children need boundaries so they can test them and know they are safe and loved. They also need consequences to motivate them to learn and grow. All parents want to launch successful secure independent young adults so I teach parents how to implement early interventions to meet that goal.

Lauren Rance
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist (PsyD, LP)
I specialize in working with parents of deeply feeling and thinking kids. Many of these parents describe their kids as emotionally intense with strong opinions about how things should go. These children might have a formal diagnosis (like ADHD or anxiety) or might not. I help parents learn strategies to strengthen the parent-child relationship through play and set consistent, firm, age-appropriate limits.

Parenting is easier if you understand kids. They're moving targets. You might need some skills your own parents didn't know about.

Dr. John VanderKaay & The Center for Mighty Marriages & Families
Marriage and Family Therapist, DMin, LMFT, BCPCC, BCPC
Effective parenting is the most difficult job in the world. It's also the one many people have the least training in. We are all intended to learn how to be effective parents by being effectively parented by our own parents. If we didn't have that example, we need to learn somewhere else. I help parents learn about their strengths and weaknesses and help parent from their strengths, while improving their weaknesses.
