Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
Parenting is not for the faint of heart. In my work with parents, I focus on providing a warm, supportive, and collaborative environment to help them navigate the challenges of parenting in today’s world. I understand that parents face unique pressures and that children and adolescents today encounter complex issues, from social media influences to academic stress. I work closely with parents to use their creativity and imagination in finding engaging and meaningful ways to connect with and support their children. Whether it’s developing more engaging and impactful communication strategies or creating special bonding activities, I help parents explore approaches that resonate with their children and foster positive relationships. Additionally, I assist parents in addressing and healing their own childhood wounds, which can sometimes impact their parenting responses. By working through these personal challenges, parents can approach their roles with greater clarity and empathy, ultimately enhancing their ability to nurture and guide their children more successfully across each unique developmental stage.
