Beth Kurland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a parent of now-grown children, I understand firsthand how challenging and demanding (as well as rewarding) parenting can be. Many parents feel isolated in their struggles, but you don’t have to face them alone. In our work together, you’ll receive support every step of the way as we explore your child’s unique needs and identify strategies to nurture their growth and resilience. I focus on helping parents to find and build upon their child's strengths, fostering confidence and competence that can carry them forward . Whether your family is navigating sleep difficulties, behavioral concerns, anxiety, or other challenges, you’ll gain practical tools to help your child build a strong foundation to thrive and flourish.

Dr. Ylenia Martinez
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD
Parenting often brings up your own history, triggers, and fears about “getting it wrong.” I help parents understand their child’s behavior through a nervous‑system and attachment lens, respond with more regulation and consistency, and parent in ways that align with your values rather than just repeating old patterns.

Mun & Mind Therapy PLLC
Psychologist
Parenting can be one of life's most rewarding experiences, but it can also be one of the most challenging. Many parents find themselves balancing the desire to raise emotionally healthy children while navigating their own stress, relationships, cultural values, and family expectations. Whether you are struggling with behavioural concerns, communication difficulties, co-parenting challenges, parenting through separation, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the demands of caregiving, therapy can provide support and guidance.
At Min & Mind, we recognize that parenting does not happen in isolation. Our own childhood experiences, cultural backgrounds, and family dynamics often influence how we approach parenting today. We help parents better understand their children, strengthen connection, navigate conflict with confidence, and develop parenting strategies that align with their values. Our goal is to support families in creating relationships built on trust, understanding, resilience, and emotional wellbeing.

Dr. Nicole Montes
Psychologist, PsyD
The birth of a child can be a magical time, it can also be a time of incredible challenge. I see it as my job to hold both of these realities with clients. Becoming a parent can also be trigger and stir up trauma related to our own childhood and add stress to a partner relationship. I help clients unpack this so that they can more forward to parent with more intentionality and in alignment to their values. There is no better time to work towards dismantling patterns of generational trauma and build a foundation for generational healing.
