Mary W. Prentiss
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Parenting can be incredibly rewarding—and incredibly hard. I work with parents who feel overwhelmed, frustrated, uncertain, or stuck in patterns that aren't working for their family. I especially enjoy helping parents understand their child's behavior while strengthening connection and communication.
My work with parents may include emotional regulation, behavior strategies, frustration tolerance, parent-child relationships, and practical tools for responding to challenging behaviors. I also use Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) when appropriate. My goal is to help parents feel more confident while creating stronger, more connected relationships with their children.

Aryn Ziehnert
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Parenting is one of the most deeply rewarding roles we can take on, yet it is also one of the most emotionally and physically demanding. Between constant decision-making, behavioral challenges, and societal pressure to "get it right," it is incredibly common to feel overwhelmed, guilty, or disconnected from your own identity. My practice offers a compassionate, non-judgmental space to step back from the chaos. Rather than offering rigid rules or perfectionist expectations, we focus on helping you understand your child’s emotional needs, manage parental stress, regulate your own reactions, and build a family dynamic rooted in warmth, connection, and mutual respect.

Dr. Amy Schullery
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I help new moms and dads adjust to parenthood. Bringing a new baby into the house is stressful. We work on effective strategies to balance everything, maintain a good relationship, and adapt to an expanding family. I work with moms while they are pregnant, postpartum, and parents that have multiple children too. Dads need help adjusting too. I also work with parents with older children- to help them develop effective strategies for parenting, having good relationships with their growing kids, and adjusting to kids growing up or moving out of the home.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed counseling for parenting challenges, family stress, and difficulties navigating the emotional and relational demands of raising children in today’s fast-paced and high-pressure world. Many parents feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure how to manage behavior challenges, communication breakdowns, discipline concerns, or emotional disconnection within the family system.
Brad takes a holistic and supportive approach to parenting and family counseling, helping parents understand the underlying stressors, emotional triggers, and relational patterns that may be impacting the home environment. Therapy focuses on creating practical, realistic strategies to improve communication, strengthen connection, reduce conflict, and build a more stable and supportive family dynamic.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation skills, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support both individual healing and healthier family functioning. When appropriate, therapy may also explore how past trauma, stress, or unresolved emotional experiences can influence parenting responses, emotional reactivity, and family relationships.
Parenting challenges often occur in the context of broader life stress, emotional overwhelm, and competing responsibilities. Brad’s approach helps clients develop greater emotional awareness, patience, and regulation while also building effective boundaries, coping strategies, and communication tools that support healthier interactions within the family system.
Therapy is collaborative, practical, and tailored to each family’s unique needs and goals. The focus is on reducing stress, improving relationships, and creating a more peaceful, connected, and emotionally supportive home environment.
The goal of therapy is to help parents feel more confident, grounded, and supported while strengthening family relationships and fostering long-term emotional health, stability, and connection.
