Meg McGuire
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Families (parents, siblings and partners) are often profoundly affected by the mental health challenges of their loved ones. I find that families not only find it difficult to understand the nuances of diagnoses like eating disorders, addiction and personality disorders, but they also struggle to know what to say or do when interacting with their loved ones. I provide coaching to help families navigate these unique situations, which includes communication strategies, boundary setting techniques and psychoeducation.

Robin Bates-Pualuan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
For some reason, kids don't come with instruction manuals. Even the best parents struggle sometimes and could benefit from an objective guide through the ambiguous world of parenting, where there are almost never clear-cut answers to the tough questions. Through talking with a professional you can learn to parent in a way that respects all parties and aligns with your values.

Cheryl Feldmann
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have worked with children and families (as well as raising three myself) and I provide common sense information and advice for the typical difficulties of parenting.
I also work with parents of children with special needs, as that is a very different experience.

David Oretsky Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
As a therapist specializing in parenting support, I am deeply committed to helping parents navigate the richly complex journey of raising children. My practice is strongly influenced by the principles put forth by Dr. Becky Kennedy in her book "Good Inside," and Shefali Tsabary's enlightening work "The Awakened Family". I strongly believe in fostering emotional intelligence, promoting internal growth, and nurturing healthy communication within families, as underscored in these seminal works.
I see my role as not just helping parents manage daily parenting struggles, but more importantly, to guide them in cultivating a deeper understanding of their own emotions and reactions. By doing so, they can model emotional health to their children, foster stronger bonds, and cultivate a more balanced and harmonious family environment.
Whether you're dealing with tantrums, power struggles, behavioral issues, or relationship concerns, my approach is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where we can collaboratively address these challenges. Drawing from the wisdom of Dr. Becky's and Dr. Tsabary's principles, we'll work together to explore mindful parenting strategies that focus on connection, empathy, and understanding.
Remember, the goal of parenting is not perfection, but growth – both for you as a parent and for your child. With patience, compassion, and understanding, we can navigate this journey together towards a healthier, happier family life.
