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.

Andrew D. Sapp
Psychologist, PhD
I'm not only a parent of three teenagers, I've also dedicated the bulk of my career to helping parents and their pre-teens and teens. I started a residential treatment center for adolescents as well as a therapeutic boarding school, was a psychologist for an outdoor adventure therapy program, was a therapist at an inner city group home for teenage boys, and the lead therapist on the adolescent wing of a locked psychiatric hospital and a group life coordinator at a juvenile corrections facility. Parenting is challenging and none of us are perfect. Great job seeking guidance and taking action to become the best parent you can be.

Dr. Brian Weir
Psychologist, PsyD
Each kid is so different. What works for one, may be a fraughtful approach with another. I can help you to understand your child (or adult child) better, and find better ways to work with and relate to them. When we run out of ideas, we often try to accomplish things with power. This likely ends in a power struggle characterized by defiance and escalation only to expose that we don't have that much power after all. There are better ways to communicate. Our models of parenting are often outdated and what we learned may actually make things more difficult. I will help you to identify what works best for you child and support you and your needs in the process.

Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Parenting can bring immense joy, but it can also create stress, conflict, exhaustion, and shifts in relationship dynamics and decimate sexual connection. Couples may struggle with differences in parenting styles, values, division of responsibilities, or maintaining emotional connection while caring for children. Gottman Method couples therapy helps parents strengthen their partnership by improving communication, increasing teamwork, and creating a more supportive and connected family environment. Therapy provides space to navigate parenting disagreements with greater understanding and respect while also prioritizing the health of the couple relationship. By building stronger emotional connection and collaborative problem-solving skills, couples can feel more united and resilient in the challenges of parenting together.

Reiss Psychology Services, PLLC
Psychologist, PsyD
I help parents understand what their teen is experiencing, from the internal experience of anxious or depressive thoughts to the behaviors that often accompany them, so they can respond with empathy rather than frustration or fear. I also coach parents in how to reinforce the skills their teen is learning in session in everyday moments at home. Part of this work involves helping parents recognize their own role in the family system, and adjusting their responses to better support their teen's growth.
