Parenting Therapy in Mill Valley & Throughout California

This is a space where you do not have to be a perfect parent to be a good one. We move at your pace, honoring how much is changing and what this season is asking of you. No matter what you are navigating as parents, you are met with care, presence, and respect, exactly as you are.

❋ feeling disconnected after becoming parents

You may feel more like co managers than partners, and you miss the closeness you once had.

❋ struggling to communicate or stay on the same page

Differences in parenting styles, needs, or expectations can create tension and misunderstandings.

❋ NOTICING OLD PATTERNS OR TRAUMA SHOWING UP

Your own upbringing or past experiences may be influencing how you feel as a parent now.

❋ FEELING UNSURE HOW TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER

You may both be tired, overwhelmed, or unsure how to stay connected while caring for your family.

❋ NAVIGATING THE TRANSITION INTO PARENTHOOD

Your roles, routines, bodies, and relationship are all shifting at once.

❋ WANTING TO FEEL MORE CONNECTED AS A FAMILY

You may want support in building a relationship and family life that feels supportive and aligned.

My Approach

Hi, I’m Rhiannon.

I work with parents and parenting couples who are navigating the emotional and relational shifts that come with becoming and being parents. Many of the people I support are learning how to stay connected as partners while also taking on new roles, responsibilities, and identities.

Our work together focuses on building a new kind of connection through communication, learning, and shared understanding. We will explore what parenthood means to each of you, how your past experiences may be shaping your present, and how you want to show up for your children and each other.

I also integrate my training as a sex therapist and trauma therapist as appropriate, supporting you in creating a healthy relationship with your body, intimacy, and emotional safety as parents. This includes learning how intimacy and closeness can evolve after childbirth and across life transitions.

For parents who are also trauma survivors, our work can include grieving what you did not receive and creating something new for your family moving forward. The goal is not perfection, but awareness, choice, and connection.

I welcome all identities, family structures, and lived experiences, and I believe every family deserves support as they grow, change, and heal together.

Together in therapy, we will:

  • Strengthen communication and shared understanding

  • Explore parenting values and expectations

  • Support connection between partners and within the family

  • Address the impact of past experiences and trauma

  • Create space for intimacy, closeness, and repair

  • Build a family life that feels supportive and sustainable

Let’s work together to support you as you grow into yourselves as parents.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • During the free consultation call, we will spend up to 30 minutes talking about what you hope to get out of therapy and how I can support you and your relationship. This is the space that allows you to get to know myself as a therapist and allows me to get to know you to ensure we are a good fit for each other. If we both decide to move forward in working on your goals together, we will chat about any necessary paperwork and scheduling our first session!

  • I meet with individuals for a 50 minute session and couples for a 60 minute session. We can discuss how often sessions will occur during our consultation meeting to best fit your needs and support you with reaching your goals.

  • If you are late for the scheduled session, the session end time remains the same and we will meet for a shorter session. If I am late, I will extend the session time to ensure we meet for the full 50 or 60 minutes. If you need to cancel please do so with at least 24 hours notice. If you cancel within 24 hours or do not show for a scheduled session, you will be charged a late cancellation fee. I understand that life can be full of the unexpected, let’s just stay in contact.

  • I do not accept insurance and am not on any insurance panels at this time. If you are struggling to afford my full fee, let’s explore payment options that may be available to you including a sliding scale fee.
