Hello, I'm Elham Raker, M.D.
I'm delighted to welcome you!
As a mother myself, I understand firsthand the joys and challenges that come with raising children. This personal experience, coupled with my deep desire to be of service and my genuine love for children, led me to explore parent coaching as a means of further supporting families.
I wanted to provide a space where parents could have dedicated time and attention to have all their questions answered and their needs addressed—going beyond the hurried doctor visits that often leave limited time for thorough discussions.

“Parent coaching has been just what I needed. I have been so anxious and stressed about doing the right thing for my toddler that I lost sight of what’s important. Dr. Raker was able to guide me back to finding our connection together. The skills I’m learning right now are helping me create a better connection with my toddler but also with everyone around me, and will continue to aid me as he grows.”
- Priyanka V.
“Dr. Raker helped me open up and connect to my daughter in a way I didn’t know was possible. I learned I didn’t have to yell and try to control everything—and in fact this approach usually backfired. Through our work, I was able to find more joy in being a parent, while also better supporting my daughter. I learned skills that helped with relationships in every facet of my life. I was able to connect to my own values. I cannot recommend her coaching services enough!”
- Emily B.
“Mom, I love you. I was frustrated and scared and you helped me through it. I feel like we really have a bond now. I think your parenting classes helped. You don’t really yell anymore.”
