Naomi Parker, LP-MFT
In this fast-paced world, it's okay and even natural to feel overwhelmed and lost at times. Yes, life can be tough, but I believe that the resiliency of the human spirit is even tougher. My name is Naomi Parker and as a Limited Permit MFT and graduate from Capella University, I'm here and ready to offer a gentle hand to help navigate through life’s many moments of woes and “woah”s while also helping to create lasting positive life changes. With transparency, curiosity, and compassion as the driving forces of my practice, I am ever inspired to help individuals find their way to inner peace and personal growth.
For over 10 years I have worked with children, adolescents, and teens, aiding them through the hardships and emotions that accompany school, social life, peer pressure, sibling conflict, divorce, loss, and other strains of transitioning through the developmental life stages. I have also had the privilege in helping young adults, couples, and large family systems through symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, perfectionism, and other human complexities.
As a member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, I also take pride and careful attention to upholding an ethically sound method of treatment that utilizes a strength-based, humanistic, and collaborative stance. My approach is supported by theories of narrative, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, emotionally focused, and IFS therapy. Through my work and studies, I continue to experience and appreciate the vast uniqueness of every individual, so no matter how quirky or puzzling troubles may seem, know that you'll find a judgment-free zone where your thoughts and feelings are welcome.
Together, I trust that we can improve communication, manage boundaries, and build better habits of mindfulness and self-care to fortify your emotional well-being. So, whether you are adjusting to a new move or learning to move on, seeking heightened self-awareness or just trying to understand your partner better, when you are ready to turn your life struggles into stepping stones, I’m here, eager and equipped, ready to listen, support, and guide you on your wondrous journey of self-discovery.

Priscilla Tran, Advanced Clinical MFT Intern
One of our greatest human needs is to be seen and I have a passion for making others feel seen by listening to their stories. Every individual, couple, and family has a unique story and it is an honor to hear about your lived experience. I strive to create a warm, emotionally safe, and empowering environment for clients. Together, we can find strength, clarity, and healing as you write the next chapter of your story.
I spent a number of years in the hospitality industry where I worked behind the scenes to create experiences for others through food and events. In my personal and professional life, I have found joy in having meaningful conversations that help build connections and relationships. My passion for people led me to pursue a master's in Marriage & Family Therapy.
Outside the therapy "room", I appreciate all things food and am always on the hunt for the perfect chocolate chip cookie, often with my husband.
