Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in parenting issues, my approach is founded on collaboration, empathy, and evidence-based interventions. Through a combination of parent education, coaching, and family therapy, I support parents in navigating challenges and fostering healthy relationships with their children. By providing a safe space to explore parenting styles, communication patterns, and family dynamics, I help parents gain insight into their strengths and areas for growth. Together, we develop practical strategies to address behavior management, enhance parent-child interactions, and promote positive development. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of self-care and stress management techniques to support parents in navigating the demands of parenthood effectively. My goal is to empower parents with the tools and confidence they need to cultivate nurturing and resilient family.

Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience conducting therapy, psycho-educational assessments, and psychological evaluations with children and adolescents. As such, I have expertise in child development that I bring to my work with parents who are looking for help navigating the challenges that can come with raising kids. I highly encourage you to choose a therapist or parenting coach that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about you, your family, and your reasons for seeking help with parenting. Then we can plan together from there. Starting therapy or parenting work can feel daunting or overwhelming to many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you. My approach is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of both maximizing your parenting strengths and exploring options for ways to modify your parenting choices in areas that feel more challenging to you.

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.
