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.

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.

As someone who used to see children and was specifically trained in Child Development and Family systems, I can provide parenting guidance to those who are struggling or want to ensure their parenting methods are as good as possible. This treatment can include two partners or an individual parent. My goal is to help you feel more confident and confident, and experience the joy of parenting without anxiety or worry holding you back.

Tracy L. Morris
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
I found the concept of Family so intriguing as a youth, I decided to get a college degree in it! For me, recognizing that Family is, indeed, a concept constructed by culture and society is crucially important to how Parenting is approached. In no other realm of 'regular' human life do our hauting ghosts come out to play as fervently as when we are parenting children. I work with clients to explore and become clear on their 'ghosts' and then move forward toward the parent they also wanted to be.
