Dr. Kimberlyann Marsden
Psychologist
Parenting is a journey where parents often feel like they need a roadmap to navigate the challenges that can arise. I work with parents and families to understand what their particular concerns and issues are. Then, I customize treatment to help them resolve those issues. I give very clear, practical solutions to enhance family relationships and harmony. Small changes in communication, boundaries, expectations often lead to major positive shift in family dynamics. Another part of working with parents is providing them the support they need as an individual so they can continue to remain healthy and strong while functioning as a parent.

Christine Highfill
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC-S
Parenting is deeply rewarding, but it can also be overwhelming, stressful, and filled with uncertainty. Whether you’re navigating the early years, supporting a child through adolescence, or balancing your own well-being while caring for your family, therapy can provide a space for guidance and support. I help parents develop effective strategies for communication, discipline, emotional regulation, and connection—while also addressing feelings of burnout, guilt, or self-doubt. Together, we’ll focus on strengthening your confidence as a parent, improving family relationships, and creating a healthier balance for both you and your child.

Dr. Meghan Miller
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Parenting is rewarding, but it can also bring emotional overload, guilt, and the sense of never doing enough. I help parents manage this invisible mental load by using mindfulness-based strategies, emotion regulation skills, and relational interventions to support healthier family dynamics. Together, we’ll work on building self-compassion, setting effective boundaries, and practicing coping techniques that allow you to feel more grounded and present. Therapy is not about perfect parenting - it’s about strengthening resilience and finding joy in the moments that matter most.

Tatiana Turo-Handy, PsyD., PMH-C
Psychologist, PsyD. PMH-C
Adjusting to life as a parent can be both beautiful and overwhelming. As a bilingual (Spanish/English) psychologist and PMH‑C certified clinician, I support individuals navigating the emotional challenges of early parenthood, including exhaustion, identity shifts, relationship changes, and the pressure to “get it right.” Therapy offers a steady, compassionate space to explore parenting stress, build confidence, and reconnect with yourself during this major life transition.
I also help parents manage the complex emotions that arise when returning to work after parental leave, such as guilt, anxiety, role strain, and the challenge of balancing caregiving with professional responsibilities. Together, we work toward creating routines, boundaries, and coping strategies that support your well‑being and your family’s needs.

Amanda Shrekenhamer
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC
I repeatedly hear my clients who are parents (especially those who are parents of young children), that they often feel unsupported and left behind, both by those who surround them, and by society as a whole. Being a parent isn't easy in the best of times, but being a parent in the current times can feel impossible. To all of the parents out there, I see you, and recognize the unique struggles you have had to confront. I often help parents find their way through parental burnout, balance parenting obligations with demanding work schedules, and find a sense of peace amongst the anxiety and uncertainty that can accompany raising children.

Sarah Jacques
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSWC-C
Parenting can be incredibly rewarding, but it’s also one of the hardest jobs in the world—especially when raising a neurodivergent child. I work with parents to strengthen communication, increase understanding, and create supportive structures at home. Using tools like the SPACE program, I help parents reduce accommodating behaviors driven by anxiety and replace them with strategies that encourage growth and resilience. Together, we’ll build a calmer, more connected family dynamic.
