Walnut Creek, California therapist: Alethea Gard'ner, LCSW, licensed clinical social worker
Parenting

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.

Oakland, California therapist: John Jakubowski, marriage and family therapist
Parenting

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.

New York City, New York therapist: Make Marriage Better, psychologist
Parenting

Make Marriage Better

Psychologist, Ph.D.
At Make Marriage Better, we understand that parenting can be both rewarding and challenging, often bringing to the surface unresolved fears and emotional patterns from our own upbringing. Our approach to parenting focuses on helping individuals and couples identify the essential fears that influence their parenting styles, such as fear of inadequacy, fear of losing control, or fear of repeating past mistakes. Using the Deconstructing Anxiety™ method, we guide parents to uncover their “chief defenses,” which may manifest as overprotection, criticism, or emotional distance. By encouraging parents to do the opposite of these defenses, we create a nurturing space for them to develop healthier parenting strategies, communicate effectively with their children, and foster emotional intelligence within their families. This transformative process not only strengthens parent-child relationships but also promotes a more harmonious family dynamic, allowing both parents and children to thrive.
