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.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Parenting can bring deep meaning alongside ongoing pressure to be patient, present, and emotionally available at all times. Many women find themselves navigating exhaustion, self-doubt, or the tension between caring for their children and maintaining their own identity. In our work together, we focus on understanding how your own experiences shape your parenting responses, strengthening your internal footing, and developing ways to show up that feel grounded and sustainable for both you and your family.
