Greg Whittaker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
In addition to raising six children with my wife (and currently practicing on the grandchildren), I have taught dozens of parenting classes and read extensively on this subject. I get a great deal of satisfaction in helping parents become more effective at bonding with their children and creating a sense of order in their home. My main focus is on helping parents discipline their children with techniques that encourage their children learn to be responsible for their behavior so they can become happy and successful later in life.

Shohreh Schmuecker
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Sometimes mothers need a soft place to land to vent their frustrations while still holding their love for their child. I am rostered with UCSF Benioff as a Child-Parent Psychotherapist and I can support you in what may come up for you around your parenting role in your individual session with me. Motherhood/Caregiving is difficult and sometimes we just need a safe space to discuss what is going on for us.

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.

Stella Zweben Samuel, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I run several groups for parents providing education and support to parents of adolescents and young adults. These groups allow parents to gain answers to questions and support for the difficult job of parenting adolescents and young adults today. I also work with parents of adolescents to identify what strategies might help to strengthen the relationship between parent and child.

Sonny Granade
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
The way we parent our own children is inevitably informed by how we were raised in our family of origin: by what we liked about it, as well as how it may have caused us harm. I work with my clients to reflect on how they were raised and to explore their beliefs about how they are raising (or would like to raise) their own children. This exploration often opens the door to rich and healing conversations about how parenting (and re-parenting ourselves) reflects our values and sense of purpose in life.
