Margaret Graham
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Parenting adult children who've moved back home – or never quite left – is its own unique challenge that most parenting books don't cover. You love your kids fiercely, but you're also exhausted, confused about your role, and quietly wondering when you get to have your own life back. Maybe your 25-year-old is sleeping in their childhood bedroom while you tiptoe around setting boundaries. Maybe you're navigating a young adult's mental health struggles, neurodiversity, or just plain difficulty launching in today's impossible economy. You oscillate between wanting to help and worrying you're enabling, between feeling like a good parent and feeling like you're being taken advantage of. The guilt is real, the resentment is real, and so is the love. I work with parents in the "crowded nest" to sort out what's yours to carry and what belongs to your adult child, how to set boundaries that don't feel cruel, and how to support their growth without stunting it. We'll also focus on you – reclaiming your identity beyond being everyone's problem-solver, creating space for your own needs without the guilt, and learning to trust yourself when everyone else has opinions about what you should do.

Chloe Lankshear
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.Ed, Ed/S, LMFT
As a parent myself, I know that parenting is not always easy and most parents have moments when they are unfortunately not the parents they would ideally like to be. The key is to learn from those times, work out what led to them and figure out a better way forward. If we work together on parenting, I will do a comprehensive assessment to get to know you, your background story and goals so I have all of the relevant information. Then, I put together a draft treatment plan, with input from you, so the details will depend on the person. I'm non-judgmental and just focussed on helping you get to where you want to be in your parenting. You obviously can't control your children, but you can control the decisions and actions you take as a parent. I hope to help you to get to a place where you feel comfortable and good about yourself as a parent.
