Michelle Broweleit
Professional Christian Counselor, MA, LMHC
Are you struggling with parenting your children? I was blessed with four biological children, adopted five, have three step children, and foster parented hundreds. Having been through medical emergencies, custody issues, physical and mental health concerns, educational problems, troubles with the legal system, and even the death of one of my children, there probably aren't too many things left to experience. I have learned that we all make mistakes as parents, there is no perfect parent nor perfect way to parent, each situation and child is unique, children need to know and feel loved, and stability and consistency helps. Please contact me and we can discuss whether individual, couple, or family counseling will be the best choice for you.

Jennifer Plumb Vilardaga, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
I love working with parents to manage their stress about being a parent, whether parenting small children and teens or improving relationships with emerging adult and fully grown adult children. Being a parent is a challenge for most of us, particularly those managing multiple life roles (such as paid work, home management, schooling, and other relationships). I am not an expert in WHAT you should do to parent your children well; I am an expert in helping you figure out HOW you want to be as a parent and empower you to seek additional support and resources that might help you achieve your goals. I can help you clear the fog to determine your inner compass for what matters to you most, and hopefully you will find ways to find balance, show up with your children in ways that are important to you, and be the best you you can be as you parent. If you need higher intensity resources for parent-child interactions or higher level skills for managing your child's very difficult behavior, I can help you figure out how and where you might succeed in bringing those specialty services to help your family.

Lauren Rance
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist (PsyD, LP)
I specialize in working with parents of deeply feeling and thinking kids. Many of these parents describe their kids as emotionally intense with strong opinions about how things should go. These children might have a formal diagnosis (like ADHD or anxiety) or might not. I help parents learn strategies to strengthen the parent-child relationship through play and set consistent, firm, age-appropriate limits.
