Louis Hoffman
Psychologist, PhD
Parenting can be one of life's most meaningful and rewarding experiences, while also bringing significant challenges, uncertainty, and emotional demands. Navigating children's developmental needs, family relationships, differing parenting approaches, and the complexities of balancing care for others with one's own well-being can sometimes feel overwhelming. Drawing on relational strategies, I help parents better understand themselves, their children, and the relational patterns that shape family interactions. My approach emphasizes empathy, authenticity, open communication, and respect for each family member's unique experiences and needs. Rather than prescribing a single approach to parenting, I work collaboratively with parents to explore their values, strengthen emotional connections, navigate challenges, and develop more intentional and compassionate ways of relating to their children.

Dr. Michael J. Lee
Psychologist
Parenting brings us into close contact with our own histories, expectations, and emotional limits. A child’s needs or behavior may stir reactions that are stronger or more complicated than we anticipated. I work with parents to understand these experiences, consider the patterns developing within the family, and find more thoughtful ways to respond, set limits, and repair moments of disconnection.

Dr. Ashley Gulden
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Parenting can be incredibly challenging, especially without a manual and with constantly changing research on effective strategies. The pressure to be a "pinterest parent" can add to the overwhelm. If you often find yourself thinking, "I'm failing my kids," or "I'm not doing enough," let's work together to shift those negative narratives. We can focus on fostering a deeper connection with yourself and your children, explore evidence-based parenting skills, and examine the beliefs and thoughts that influence your responses as a parent. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone—let's work through it together.

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.

Lauren Chavis
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
Parenting can bring enormous love alongside stress, self-doubt, frustration, and the feeling that you're never quite getting it right. I work with parents who want to better understand their own reactions, navigate challenging family dynamics, and find approaches to parenting that feel both effective and consistent with the kind of parent they want to be.
