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.

Tracy L. Morris
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS LMFT
I found the concept of Family so intriguing as a youth, I decided to get a college degree in it! For me, recognizing that Family is, indeed, a concept constructed by culture and society is crucially important to how Parenting is approached. In no other realm of 'regular' human life do our hauting ghosts come out to play as fervently as when we are parenting children. I work with clients to explore and become clear on their 'ghosts' and then move forward toward the parent they also wanted to be.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
With over 25 years of experience working with families and children ages 0–18, I provide parenting consultation, diagnostic feedback, and support for behavioral and emotional concerns. I integrate family systems, attachment, behavioral strategies, IFS, and mindfulness to help parents strengthen relationships and create stability. I also collaborate with prescribers on medication management when appropriate. My diagnostic expertise ensures clarity in identifying developmental, emotional, or relational needs and tailoring recommendations that fit the family system. In addition, I offer a clinical evaluation and consultation to address any diagnostic concerns parents may have and make treatment recommendations based on this assessment.

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.

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.
