Mary Elizabeth Burns, MS, NCC, LPC
Counselor/Therapist, MS, NCC, LPC
I work with parents of children and teens struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, emotional reactivity, disordered eating, and behavioral challenges. Using somatic therapy, nervous system regulation, and practical CBT/DBT-based tools, I help parents reduce reactivity, set healthy boundaries, and restore emotional safety at home. I support single parents, co-parents, and divorced families navigating stress, burnout, and high-conflict dynamics.

Counselor/Therapist, LPC, NCC
Parenting is much harder than what the cute Instagram posts show. You love your kids, but communicating with them has become so difficult and you find that patterns that used to work well aren't effective anymore. Schedules, school, responsibilities, and judgment from others can be so overwhelming. I'm thankful you're seeking help. You don't have to figure all of it out by yourself. Let's work together to find solutions and create new patterns that help your children feel loved and more responsible.

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.

“...know what to do when I get teased for being smart.”
“...convince my mom that I don’t always have to get A+ .”

Nicole Lucente
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, NCC
The journey of parenting can be challenging. To further complicate it, we sometimes unintentionally bring our own issues to the parenting dynamic. Whether you are a first time parent, a parent with a unique child or situation, or simply finding yourself needing support during a transition, I can help you through the counseling process.
