Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in parenting issues, my approach is founded on collaboration, empathy, and evidence-based interventions. Through a combination of parent education, coaching, and family therapy, I support parents in navigating challenges and fostering healthy relationships with their children. By providing a safe space to explore parenting styles, communication patterns, and family dynamics, I help parents gain insight into their strengths and areas for growth. Together, we develop practical strategies to address behavior management, enhance parent-child interactions, and promote positive development. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of self-care and stress management techniques to support parents in navigating the demands of parenthood effectively. My goal is to empower parents with the tools and confidence they need to cultivate nurturing and resilient family.

Dr. Courtney Loveless
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC-MHSP
You are an exceptional parent.
That’s why you’re here.
You are the expert on your child,
and you know that sometimes children need extra support.
That’s why we’re here.
Your child is experiencing a whirlwind of negative emotions, triggered by “anything and everything”. It’s difficult to even keep track anymore.
One minute they seem to be happy. The next minute they’re having a meltdown.
The cause of the meltdown, however big or small, isn’t the problem. How they handle these situations is the real issue.
As parents, you wish you could remove every barrier throughout your child’s life so that they never have to encounter anything that causes them to feel upset.
But the truth is, you can’t. Your child will have to hear the word “no” throughout their life. They will have to follow rules that aren’t fun. They’ll have to experience situations that don’t seem fair. They won’t always get their way, and they won’t win every game.
I get it! No one likes these experiences, but if everyone had a meltdown every time we encountered them, imagine what the world would look like. Let’s teach your child some ways to handle them early-on.
Anxiety and sadness may also cause your child to avoid necessary tasks like going to school, spending time with family, or doing their chores.
Managing and communicating negative emotions is difficult for a child. Their natural response to these feelings may be to scream in anger, throw a tantrum or ignore everyone in tearful silence.
Here’s the good news.
No child is “born with” the tools to manage their emotions, but these skills can be easily learned!
Throughout this journey, your child will begin using their words to communicate their feelings and using their coping skills to regulate their emotions.
You will learn ways to help your child when they’re upset and techniques to manage their behaviors.
Like most parents, you’re not sure where to begin.
I will be your expert guide throughout the whole process- from the first phone call to the final therapy session.
Again, you are the expert, so let’s work together to find a successful treatment path for your child.

Mayme Siders
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Parenting work is often a focus of therapy as all parents struggle with the work life balance of raising children. I have extensive training, education, and experience around childhood development and parenting techniques. My own children are 21, 16, and 10 and the learning (and the challenges) never stop - nor does the need for support, normalization, and encouragement as well as actual education and tips on how things might be improved in this area.
