Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP
I work with adults navigating the emotional and psychological demands of parenting, including those parenting alone or alongside other significant pressures. Parenting often brings long-standing patterns into sharper focus, affecting identity, relationships, boundaries, and how people respond under stress.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore how parenting experiences interact with internal expectations, responsibilities, and emotional load. Rather than focusing on parenting techniques, sessions centre on understanding how you are impacted by the role and how different parts of you respond to it. We may work through conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most useful.

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 Our models of parenting are often outdated and what we learned may actually make things more difficult.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.

Debra Zand
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Parenting therapy helps parents identify, address, and manage their own past or present experiences that may be affecting the way they relate to their child. In some cases, parenting therapy may also help parents better communicate between each other to maintain a cohesive and structured parenting approach. Parenting therapy provides a judgement-free zone for parents to discuss tough moments in parenting and learn how to better manage these tough moments moving forward. Overall, parenting therapy aims to provide parents with the necessary knowledge, tools, guidance, and support to take care of themselves and their children in the most ideal way possible.

Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
I specialize in supporting parents who are feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure how to handle challenging behaviors and emotional dynamics at home. Parenting doesn’t come with a manual, and even the most capable parents can feel stuck at times. Together, we focus on practical strategies to improve communication, set clear and consistent boundaries, and respond to your child in a way that supports both their emotional development and your own well-being. My approach is collaborative, realistic, and grounded in helping you feel more confident, connected, and steady in your role as a parent.

The Tri-Cities — Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland in southeastern Washington — form a fast-growing metro shaped by the Hanford nuclear site's cleanup workforce, agricultural and food-processing industries, and a large and growing Latino community. Mental health needs range from the occupational stress of Hanford's technical workforce to farmworker family pressures and the gaps in Spanish-language care that come with rapid demographic change. Local providers and telehealth carry most of the load, as the metro sits a long drive from Washington's larger therapy markets.
