The Parallel Project Team
Hi, we’re Lara & Sheri. We’re the world’s best Venn diagram.
While we each bring varied individual expertise to the table - social/emotional wellness, navigating the school system, parenting neurodivergent teens - at our core, we share a passion for helping teens and their families thrive instead of simply surviving.
We developed The Parallel Project as a life ring for the stormy seas of parenting teens. Grab hold, we got you!

What’s our secret Sauce?!
We love brain science and child development. We’re nerds, it’s true! And we love helping other parents. We bring the latest information and strategies together with our own hard-won expertise and healthy doses of encouragement and empathy to change families for the better.
Our promise
Families of all forms and identities are welcomed and honored.
We respect cultural differences and experiences. We commit to accountability with one another, our clients, and our community. We actively work to eliminate bias and systemic inequities, including racism, homophobia, and ableism, in our business and broader society.
