Caren Gitlin, LCSW, CPC is a parenting coach and child and family therapist. She has been working with parents and families in various settings for over 20 years. Helping parents and children has always been her passion. When she became a parent, she knew she wanted to create a safe, respectful and nurturing environment for her children. She also understood how challenging that could be at times. It has been said that parenting is the hardest job in the world, and she could not agree more. No other job has more paradoxes than parenting. We love our children immensely and often need a break from them. We want them to be independent, but don't want to let them go. The highs are high and the lows can feel very low. There is so much pressure for parents to be "perfect." The parenting truth is that there is no perfection in parenting. She wants to bring more joy to families by helping to support parents during challenging times. Parents often feel stuck and can't find a way out of the slump. By helping parents find their way, her hope is that more connection and family bonding can shine through.
