Stephanie Marks
Hypnotherapist, MA
Are you a parent overwhelmed by raising your child? Are you struggling to remain calm and patient with your kids when situations are tough, leaving you feeling guilty and remorseful? Are you feeling frustrated and hopeless with your child, not knowing how to help them change certain behaviors they exhibit? Having a child can stimulates more feelings than any other life situation. In our children, we see parts of ourselves; in our parenting of them, we see our own histories of how we were raised, which can be painful and confusing at times. As a mother, I understand the complicated mix of emotions that is stimulated by being a parent. We can be pulled in different directions in our parenting, at times responding to our own childhood hurts. Becoming conscious of these patterns can open potential for new and more joyous ways of being with our children. I offer therapy to parents as well as to children and adolescents.

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.
