Get Whitt Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT- Associate
Parenting can be both beautiful and overwhelming. Whether you’re navigating toddler tantrums, teen transitions, or co-parenting challenges, I work with parents to build insight, emotional regulation, and confidence. Therapy can support you in parenting from a place of intention, not just reaction.

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.

Heidi Sawyer, LPC & Career Exploration Coach
Licensed Professional Counselor
Parenting is the hardest job you will ever have! As a mother myself, I can relate to other parents who are facing challenges during the different stages of childhood development. I come alongside parents to encourage and support them in the hardest and most rewarding work they will ever do in life. While working through parenting challenges, I often find that clients need to learn balance and self-care to present their best self to their family members.

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.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Parenting is one of the most rewarding and most challenging roles an adult can take on — and yet it is one of the areas where people are least likely to ask for help. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I work with parents navigating parenting stress, child behavioral challenges, co-parenting conflict, blended family dynamics, parenting after divorce, and the emotional weight of raising children through difficult seasons. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and solution-focused intervention, I help parents develop practical tools, healthier communication patterns, and greater confidence in their role. Telehealth parenting therapy available across 40+ states.

Robin Britt
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-S
Nobody gives you a manual. And even if they did, it wouldn't cover your kid — the one who doesn't respond the way the books say they should, who pushes every boundary, who you love fiercely and still don't always know how to reach.
Parenting is one of the most meaningful and most depleting things a person can do. I work with parents who are struggling — not because they're doing it wrong, but because it's genuinely hard and they're doing it without enough support.
I have particular experience working with parents of neurodiverse children — kids with ADHD, autism, or both — because I've lived that road myself. I understand the advocacy fatigue, the grief that can come alongside a diagnosis, the way it affects your marriage, your other kids, and your sense of yourself as a parent. You deserve a space to process all of that, not just strategies.
I also work with parents navigating the turbulence of the teen years, co-parenting challenges, blended family dynamics, and the general burnout that comes from giving everything you have and running on empty. Sessions may focus entirely on you as a parent, or run alongside your child's own therapy — whatever best supports your family.
Good parents ask for help. I'd be glad to be part of yours.

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.”
