Roxann Pazdera
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Parenting can be rewarding and overwhelming, especially when your child's needs feel difficult to understand or manage. I help parents make sense of challenging behaviors, respond to emotions with greater confidence, and strengthen their connection with their child.

James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
I participated in raising my own 3 children, and I have helped countless other parents to raise theirs. I try to come to a quick, adequate understanding of the unconscious patterns in parents that lead them to evoke frustrating, unhappy patterns of interaction with children, and work with them to develop alternatives that work more happily for all parties. When a child is so disabled for whatever reason, as to present pressing, unusual challenges for a parent, I try to play the role of an inventive resource for creating better strategies for dealing whatever those challenges are. Raising children is an infinitely complex arena which can bring out all of life's challenges along with its deepest pleasures. I try to use my permission to take part in the family's life to move things in the direction of less conflict and frustration and more mutual growth and interest.
