Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, MSW, ASW, PPSC
In the labyrinth of motherhood, many women find themselves navigating through its lesser-spoken, shadowy corridors, confronting the underworld of motherhood where challenges like role adjustment, traumatic births, breastfeeding struggles, and feelings of inadequacy and isolation loom large. My practice offers a beacon of support and understanding for mothers and stepmothers grappling with these harsh realities, providing a safe, compassionate space to voice and heal from the unanticipated trials of mothering. Beyond the immediate demands of parenthood, I delve into the emotional layers underpinning the journey, including the navigation of complex trauma, the healing of ancestral and mother wounds, and the spiritual dimensions of conception and fertility. Whether it's breaking the cycles of past traumas, reconciling with the emotional aftermath of pregnancy loss, or embarking on the sacred journey of connecting with one’s spirit baby, my approach is holistic, recognizing the profound interconnection between personal healing and nurturing life. I stand with those courageous enough to transform their shadows into strength, guiding them towards healing, belonging, and a deeper, more fulfilling experience of motherhood and stepmotherhood.

Alethea Gard'ner, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Parenting is one of the most wonderful and hardest things we embark on. I think if anyone ever told us how difficult it would be (ahead of time) there would be a lot fewer parents. At the same time, most of us can't image not having our kids because of how deeply we love them. So when something isn't going well with our children, it can be very difficult to manage our feelings. Together we can navigate your feelings, find the goals for change, and develop the steps to take to make parenting positive.

Teresa Rimmer

Parenting is a challenging and ever-changing job. Through psychoeducation, parenting skills can be enhanced; or, through family sessions, communication and family dynamics can be improved. Flexibility and adapting to changes and issues is critical.

Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Parenting is a lesson in contrast. High stress, high fulfillment, the answer to meaning and purpose and the question of ability and function. It can be lonely, isolating, and stressful. It can challenge the best of relationships. It forces us to redefine our sense of Self, and how we connect with others. Let's sort through it!

I specialize in "mindful parenting" with tools and techniques to practice patience, understanding, empathy and compassion first for how we as parents get triggered and react from what we know from our own upbringing. With that awareness we can begin to choose our reactions, see the change and even develop new healthy family habits of mindful communication.

Healing and Empowerment Counseling Center
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Teri Dunbar, LCSW
Are you tired of having your past experience or past traumas interfere with your ability to have the life you want? Interfere with your ability to have the relationships you want? I specialize in helping children, adolescents, and adults that have experienced trauma and are having an especially hard time coping and experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety. I especially enjoy working with parents. Parenting can be hard, and its even harder when you're a parent that has experienced abuse in your childhood that you haven't yet addressed.
I empower parents that have experienced childhood trauma by giving them the tools, guidance, and support to heal, grow in their role as a parent, and cultivate the relationship they want with their children. We all want to be great parents to our children, and therapy can be a way of taking care of yourself in order to better care for your children.
It can be hard to know where to start, and almost impossible to start alone. I work from a strength-based perspective and tailor my therapeutic practice to meet each persons individual needs. I am currently only offering virtual therapy and would love to help you through this process. Please go to my website to book a free consultation.

Luis Maimoni
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
When your children were born, were you given the official parenting class? The one that answers all your questions about how to raise a child? No?
When mine were born, I wasn't given the class either. I wish I could have seen me about my children back in the days when it would have done me some good!

Ms. Carol Jean Timmons
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
From my own experience of parenting and grand parenting comes a heart for parents to learn how to effectively deal with their children! Never before in history has there been so much information available on the subject of parenting! And never before has there been so much confusion on the part of parents as to how best to parent - especially in this era of social media! We tend to replicate or react to the parenting we received as children. But there are tested and proven principles of parenting that can help parents learn the art and skill of dealing effectively with their children. Our goal is to raise responsible adults, not just obedient children.

Parenting is hard, so much changes when you become a parent, and it often creates a resurfacing of your own experiences as a child and with your family. It can create a strain on your relationship, shift your identity and sense of self. It is no wonder you may be looking for some additional support! Together we will help you navigate challenges and insecurities, find and trust your intuitive parent-self, and explore ways to support healthy communication and boundaries with yourself, your co-parent, and your child.

John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, APCC
Parenting is every word you can imagine, but clients very rarely want to discuss how well their kids are doing. In working with children and being a parent, I know first hand the stressors and trials of parenting. My special sauce is teaching you how to communicate with your child so they listen, and teach you how to listen so you can communicate. Learn to recognize triggers and move through into the world soothed, secure and safe.

Emily Echeverria
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, MS
I know you love your child more than anything, and I also know that in addition to being infinitely rewarding, being a parent can also be pretty dang hard. Balancing your own needs with the needs of everyone else who relies on you is not an easy task. I help parents with parenting techniques and improving the parent-child relationship, but my main focus is emotional support. I firmly believe that in order to take care of others, we must take care of ourselves. The kinder and more patient you are with yourself, the more kind and patient you can be with your child - and the more you can model for your child how they can be good to themselves. You are already doing an amazing job, let's work together to decrease conflict in the home and increase the well-being of you, your child, and your family.
