Meet Juliet Onufrak, LCSW
I’m Juliet Onufrak, LCSW, a therapist helping teens, adults, athletes, and parents navigate stress, strengthen relationships, and feel more connected to themselves. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in your strengths. As a former collegiate athlete and youth soccer coach, I also bring firsthand understanding of the pressures of competitive sports and high pressure environments.
Support for understanding your child and feeling more confident as a parent.
Parenting can bring moments of connection and joy alongside frustration, uncertainty, and exhaustion. You may find yourself repeating the same instructions, struggling with your child’s big emotions, or wondering how to set limits without every interaction becoming a battle.​ I offer a collaborative space to understand what’s happening and develop practical strategies that fit your child and family.

What parent coaching looks like
We’ll begin by exploring your concerns, your child’s strengths, and the situations that feel most difficult. Together, we’ll consider what may be contributing to your child’s behavior and identify responses that support both connection and clear expectations.
​
Sessions may include discussing recent interactions, practicing language for difficult moments, and developing strategies to try at home. We’ll revisit what works and adjust what doesn’t.
