Tacoma Wellness Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Parenting is one of the most profound things a person can do — and one of the loneliest places to struggle. Because from the outside, you're supposed to have it together. You're the adult. You're the one they're counting on.
But parenting brings up everything. Old wounds, old patterns, the voice of your own parents in your head at 7pm when you're exhausted and someone is melting down. It surfaces parts of yourself you didn't know were still there.
At TWC, we work with parents who are trying to show up well for their kids while also tending to themselves — and learning that those two things aren't in conflict. We help parents understand their own patterns, regulate their own nervous systems, and build the kind of presence that comes from doing the inner work, not just reading the right books.
You don't have to be a perfect parent. You have to be a real one. We can help with that.
When you're ready, we're here.

Dr. Danielle Watkins at Sound Wellness Counseling PLLC
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, LMFT, LMHC, NCC, PMH-C
Parenting can be challenging! I specialize in supporting caregivers as they navigate the challenges and rewards of raising children at any developmental stage. This work helps parents build effective communication skills, set healthy boundaries, manage behavior concerns, and respond to their child’s emotional needs with confidence. Counseling also provides space to address parental stress, self-doubt, and family dynamics. The goal is to strengthen the parent-child relationship, prioritize secure attachment, promote healthy development, and empower parents with practical tools and compassionate support.

Gina Adorno
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CADC I
I work with parents navigating stress, identity shifts, emotional overwhelm, and relational challenges in parenting, particularly with school-aged children.

We also explore intergenerational patterns and support healthier attachment relationships.

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.

Morgan Desai
Pre-Licensed Professional, LMFTA
Parenting can be filled with joy and excitement, but it can also bring feelings such as worry, grief, and anger. Each child at any age brings their own unique achievements and challenges that all bring change and require adjustment. It is also common for parenting to trigger past traumas and adverse childhood experiences, which can be surprising and challenging to process. You deserve to feel supported and feel that you have a space specifically dedicated to you as you navigate all the ups and downs that parenting has to offer.
