Meghan McGinn
Psychologist, PhD
Sure, you and your partner knew parenting would have its challenges, but you were not quite prepared for how much of your energy it would take and how little you would have left for each other. Your relationship feels rocky in ways you never imagined, you are tired and overstimulated, and the additional mental load (do their clothes still fit? did I fill out that form? which brand of toasted oat cereal will they actually eat?) is soul-crushing. You may feel hesitant to add something else to your to do list, but couple therapy could be a key component of what pulls you out of that state of burnout. You need an experienced couple therapist to help you to feel heard and understood by your partner, to break out of unhelpful communication patterns, and to reclaim some of your time for your needs as an individual and as a couple.

Lauren Chase
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, LCMHC, NCC, BC-TMH, PMH-C
You carry the decisions, needs, and expectations of everyone around you, often with no room to breathe. Therapy helps you lighten the mental load, quiet guilt and self-doubt, and build boundaries so parenting feels more grounded, manageable, and sustainable.

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.

MN Couples & Family Therapy
Psychologist, Ph.D., L.P.
Parenting disagreement is one of the most common sources of relationship distress. I work with parents across the developmental spectrum to find solutions to common challenges. Additionally, I work with couples to find successful conflict management strategies around parenting. Part of the ADHD coaching I provide is for parents to better understand how to help support their children and build skills.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I approach parenting with a faith-based perspective, integrating psychological insights with Christian principles to provide guidance and support to individuals navigating the challenges of raising children. Recognizing the significance of family values and biblical teachings on parenting, I foster an environment that promotes effective communication, empathy, and the application of Christian virtues. Discussions on prayer, scriptural guidance, and the importance of instilling moral and spiritual values are integrated into counseling sessions. I collaborate with parents to address specific parenting concerns, offering strategies rooted in both psychological expertise and Christian beliefs. This holistic approach aims to empower parents to cultivate a nurturing and spiritually enriching environment for their children while navigating the complexities of parenthood within the context of their faith.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with parents who feel stretched thin by what parenting is asking of them. This may be because your child is neurodivergent, has medical needs, has been through a frightening or overwhelming experience, or because this stage of parenting is simply more intense than you expected. Parents I see often describe feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or on edge much of the time; not knowing how to respond to big emotions, shutdown, or challenging behaviors; worrying about a child’s ADHD, learning needs, or mental health; grieving that family life looks different from what they imagined; feeling tension with a partner or co‑parent about parenting styles, division of labor, or how to support a child; and feeling lonely or unseen in their role, even when they are doing everything they can and know to do.
I work with parents individually, and with couples who want support around how parenting is affecting their relationship. In our work together, there is room for the full range of your experience: love, worry, anger, guilt, and everything in between. We look for ways of relating to your child, and to each other, that feel more grounded, sustainable, and aligned with what matters most to you. I also work with parents who are navigating parenting while healing from their own past experiences, including trauma, complicated family histories, or critical inner voices.

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.

Modern Wellness Family Counseling, LLC
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT/S, RPT/S
Our family affects who we are and who we become, both for the better and for worse. We learn our vocabulary, our habits, our customs and rituals, and how to view and observe the world around us.
Anyone seeking healthier, closer family relationships can benefit from family therapy.
Common reasons for seeking family therapy include:
Divorce
Parent-child conflict
Problems between siblings
Domestic violence
Unexpected or traumatic loss of a family member
Extended Family and In-Laws
Adoption
Family therapy is necessary to address family issues and heal a family’s wounds. If any of the above scenarios resonates with your family, consider seeking family therapy. Family therapy can be beneficial on many different levels.
Some positive family therapy outcomes are:
Strategies to develop and maintain boundaries
Fostered sense of cohesion and communication among family members
Promotes problem solving through understanding of family patterns and dynamics
Builds empathy and understanding.
Reduces family conflict
Studies show that family therapy is particularly important for families with members who struggle with substance abuse, serious mental illness, and other behavioral issues. When the whole family grows, each member is stronger.
