Sarah J Thompson
Counselor/Therapist, MEd, LPC, LCMHC
For new parents, it can be upsetting and frightening to have feelings about parenthood that don’t seem “right.”
For some, a morning run, a healthy diet and receiving help and support from family and friends are sufficient enough to get through the initial adjustment period. For others, talking to a therapist who specializes in dealing with new parenthood issues can be comforting, relieving and enlightening.
Therapists who have extensive education and training in peri-natal mental health understand that hormone changes, personal and family history, and social support are all vital factors in understanding and alleviating postpartum symptoms.
Common postpartum symptoms include:
Feeling overwhelmed and wondering if you should have become a mother in the first place
Feeling guilty due to high self-expectations
Not feeling “bonded” with the baby
Your thoughts are racing and you can’t quiet your mind
Feeling empty and numb as if you’re just going through the motions
Lack of focus and concentration
Being afraid that if you reach out for help, others will judge your inabilities
Thoughts of running away or leaving your baby behind
Being constantly in a state of worry
If one or more of the above symptoms resonates with you, I invite you to contact me today for a free consultation. Together, we’ll find the underlying issues that make you feel disconnected from your baby and create a strategy for moving forward. Contact me today to see how I can help.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Parenting is often talked about in simplified ways—but in reality, it’s layered, demanding, and constantly evolving. Whether you’re parenting on your own, co-parenting, or parenting within a partnership, it can bring up questions about how you show up, what your child needs, and how to stay grounded in the middle of everything else you’re carrying. Cultural expectations around parenting can add even more pressure—what it should look like, how children should behave, and what it means to be a “good” parent—often without accounting for the realities families are actually living in.
For those navigating co-parenting, the dynamics can be especially complex. Some families operate collaboratively, leaning on each other for shared support and consistency. Others are navigating more strained dynamics, including parallel parenting—where parents function separately with limited coordination. While this can sometimes reduce direct conflict, it often requires ongoing adjustment, especially for children moving between environments, and can leave parents carrying more of the logistical and emotional load.
At Nour Counseling, we support parents in building approaches that feel grounded, intentional, and sustainable. We offer psychoeducation on attachment, child development, and relational dynamics so you can better understand what’s happening beneath behaviors—both your child’s and your own. We also work with you on communication, boundaries, emotional regulation, and creating structures that actually fit your family system. This is not about perfection—it’s about helping you parent in a way that feels more aligned, more supported, and more connected to both your child and yourself.

Parenting: The Ultimate Systemic Challenge
Moving from Survival to Connection
Parenting is perhaps the most profound "attachment laboratory" we will ever enter. It has the power to bring up our greatest joys and our deepest "ghosts" from the past. In my practice, I move beyond standard "behavioral tips" to help parents understand the relational system at play. Whether you are navigating the "toddler years," the "teen years," or the complex transition into adult-child relationships, I provide a space to parent with intention rather than reactivity.
Navigating the Modern Parenting System
Today’s parents are facing unprecedented levels of burnout and overwhelmed by "expert" advice. We work together to find your voice in the noise, addressing:
The "Parental Melt Down": Understanding the neurobiology of why we "flip our lids" and learning somatic tools to stay within your Window of Tolerance when your child is out of theirs.
Neurodivergent Parenting: Providing specialized support for parents of neurodivergent children, or for neurodivergent parents themselves, navigating sensory overstimulation and executive functioning demands.
The Cycle of Rejection Sensitivity: Addressing how our own childhood wounds can make a child’s natural independence feel like a personal rejection.
A Research-Backed, Heart-Centered Approach
With over 20 years of experience and a PhD in Child and Family Studies, I integrate high-level theory with practical, everyday application:
Attachment-Based Parenting: Using Attachment Theory to move away from "power struggles" and toward a secure base where your child feels seen, safe, and soothed.
Systems Theory & Family Dynamics: We look at the "hidden" roles everyone plays in the family. How does the stress in the marriage, the workplace, or the social system impact the child’s behavior?
Parenting through Transition: Supporting families through the "big shifts"—divorce, moving, new siblings, or spiritual deconstruction—ensuring the family bond remains resilient.
Supporting the "Helper" Parent
I have a deep commitment to working with therapists and pastors as parents. It is uniquely difficult to hold space for others all day and then come home to the raw, unfiltered demands of a family. I provide a confidential sanctuary where you can take off the "expert" hat and find the support you need to be the parent you want to be.

Erica Hart
Psychologist, PhD in Clinical Psychology
Becoming a parent often opens up feelings about our own parents. We often are trying to "do better" for our kids, but this can have its challenges. I support clients who are trying to understand their parental roles, heal from historic family wounds, and find balance and self-compassion in their lives.

Marc Feinberg
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, CBC
“You won’t always get it right, but you’ll always have the chance to make it right. Parenting isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence. It’s the daily act of showing up with love, patience, and grace, even when you’re exhausted or unsure. Every moment you choose connection over correction, you’re building something sacred: trust and unconditional love.”
