Sarah Elaine Zimmerman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C (MD), LCSW-R (NY), LCSW (FL, VA), EMDR Certified Psychotherapist
For 25+ years I've worked with clients who are trying to be the best parents they can be. Sometimes we need some support and help with strategies to feel in control again. You don't have to do this alone.I've been a parent myself for 26 years so I certainly can relate to what is one of the hardest jobs in the world. Maybe you are adjusting to a new baby, the sleep deprivation and lifestyle changes. You may be struggling because your children have special needs, behavioral issues or have just hit a rough patch in their development. If you are grieving for your child who has recently left for college, I can help support you in the adjustment to your empty nest. and help with strategies so you feel in control again. You don't have to do this alone.

Kalin Palmer, Healing Connections Therapy LLC
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LMHC, LPC
I’ve spent the last few years working in child welfare, so I’ve had an incredible amount of experience working with parents on skills to help allow their child to thrive. This can range from a child that feels out of control to a parent who is simply concerned how their actions may influence their child in the future. I focus on providing warmth and validation combined with structured boundaries and routine, including positive reinforcement (i.e rewarding wanting behaviors to encourage them to happen more)

Every parent will experience the joys and sorrows of parenting. As with many other experiences in life, parenting is full of compexities and paradoxes. Discussing family issues with a trained therapist can many times help to bring about a loving solution.

Barbara Magnusson Coffee
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ph.D., LMFT
Positive parenting can make all the difference in both the stress level a parent feels and in how healthy a child turns out. No one came with a manual, but there is research supported evidence of what is helpful and what is not.
