Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
Working with parents on parenting concerns in therapy has been an enriching and impactful part of my practice. Understanding the significant role that parenting plays in child development and family dynamics, I approach these sessions with empathy, collaboration, and a strengths-based perspective. By fostering open dialogue and actively listening, I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where parents can explore their concerns, challenges, and goals. Leveraging evidence-based practices and my expertise in child development, I offer practical guidance, psychoeducation, and skill-building exercises to help parents nurture positive parent-child relationships, establish healthy boundaries, and support their children's social, emotional, and cognitive growth.
