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.

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.

Dr. Sharon Herzog
Psychologist, PsyD
Many of my clients struggle with the emotional demands that come with being a parent. It doesn’t matter if their children are young or fully grown, being a parent is a constant source of fear and love and major focus of one’s emotional well-being.

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.

Dr. Stephanie Vaughn
Psychologist, Psy.D., DBT-LBC™
If it’s therapy between multiple family members that you need, we have therapists with experience.
Family therapy can be a great place to start or the perfect place to “end up.” When one member of the family is having issues, it affects EVERY member. How each person copes with problems is unique. If there is one thing a family therapist might share it would be this: When each person works to “own their part,” change is more likely to occur. Sometimes, it works best if individual therapy comes first—there may be a history of misunderstandings that need to be worked through before you all get together in the same room. Family therapy is even possible online. Each member can join from separate rooms, or they can sit together—just like in person. Learning the basics of healthy communication, identifying hidden resentments, and exploring unspoken family “rules” can be tough, but absolutely worth it. Let our therapists help to bring your family closer.

Linda Michlin Ludwig
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I am a parent and a grandparent. I am blessed to be in a loving marriage for fifty-three years. I think parenting is both one of the most gratifying of jobs, but also one of the most difficult. No one is a "perfect" parent. As we age many of us will have regrets about some of the ways we parented.
If you are a parent you will have your own unique concerns you will want to talk about. Let's explore what they are.

Robin Wellington
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A, RYT-500, CTP, CSTFP
When working with parenting concerns, I support parents in navigating the challenges of raising children while staying connected to their own emotional well-being. Parenting can bring moments of joy as well as stress, self-doubt, and overwhelm. Together we explore family dynamics, build tools for responding to challenges with greater calm and clarity, and strengthen your ability to regulate your own nervous system—something that powerfully shapes the emotional environment your children grow up in. As parents develop greater awareness and steadiness, many find their relationships with their children become more connected, supportive, and resilient.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
The pressure to be the perfect parent and professional is immense and intense. Our culture covets the perfect life and cultivates a narrative that you can have it all if you just try hard enough. In my most professional capacity, I call NONSENSE on that (insert more forceful word if you'd like). Holistic Life Coaching can be a powerful experience in which we examine, explore, and elevate your own definition of successful parenting, empowering your parental presence according to YOUR values, character, and strengths. I am NOT offering therapy—I leave the work of diagnosis and treatment of medical issues to medical professionals. However, coaching can absolutely complement and supplement any therapy work you are doing; our work together will be therapeutic without being therapy. I offer tools that can increase ease, support the maintenance of positive healthy boundaries, increase satisfaction in your life, improve communication and connection with your children, and so much more. Let's talk about what being a parent means to you.

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.
