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.

Brittany Ryan-Berzins
Psychologist, PhD
My approach to parent coaching combines evidence-based behavior therapy with a compassionate, collaborative understanding of children’s behavior. Drawing on the principles of Ross Greene’s Collaborative & Proactive Solutions model, I help parents look beyond challenging behaviors to understand the underlying skills and unmet needs that may be contributing to them. We work together to identify realistic expectations, recognize when a child may be struggling with flexibility, frustration tolerance, emotional regulation, or problem-solving, and adjust demands accordingly. At the same time, I help parents develop clear, consistent behavioral strategies that encourage positive change while preserving connection and trust. Parenting can be deeply rewarding, but it can also bring moments of frustration, doubt, and self-criticism. My goal is to help parents replace the question, “How do I get my child to behave?” with a more compassionate and productive one: “What is getting in the way, and how can we solve this together?” Through greater understanding, practical tools, and a collaborative approach, parents can feel more confident and children can develop the skills they need to thrive.

Dr. Michael J. Lee
Psychologist
Parenting brings us into close contact with our own histories, expectations, and emotional limits. A child’s needs or behavior may stir reactions that are stronger or more complicated than we anticipated. I work with parents to understand these experiences, consider the patterns developing within the family, and find more thoughtful ways to respond, set limits, and repair moments of disconnection.

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.
