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.

Gretchen Weisenburger Carrillo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
It can be overwhelming striking that balance of holding kids accountable (limits, time outs, behavior contracts etc) and just enjoying them and having fun. No one dreams of being either too strict or too lenient. Gretchen works with individuals and couples looking to strengthen their skills and confidence working with kids. Gretchen is trained in the Positive Parenting Program (levels 3-4) as well as Parent Child Interaction Therapy. She worked for the County of Orange MHSA program to roll out large scale evidence based training in the area of parenting for county providers and homeless shelters. She is parent herself of two young adults.

Baya Mebarek, In-Office Couple Therapy & Online Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, Psy.D., LMFT
The Key to successful parenting is based on your deepest feeling of love and affection for your child, and it is demontrated simply through empathy and understanding. Good parenting begins in your heart, and continues in the way you engage your child when feelings run high, when they are sad, angry or scared. The heart of parenting is being there in a particular way when it really counts.
