Megan Noren
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Parenting can bring deep joy and connection, but it can also come with stress, self-doubt, and the pressure to get everything right. You may feel overwhelmed by competing demands, struggle with guilt about whether you're doing enough, or find yourself reacting in ways that don't align with the parent you want to be. Therapy offers a space to explore these challenges without judgment, better understand your emotional responses, and reflect on how your own experiences may influence your parenting. Together, we can work toward greater self-compassion, more intentional responses during difficult moments, and a stronger understanding of your needs alongside those of your family. My goal is to help you navigate parenting with greater confidence, flexibility, and connection while making room for your own well-being, too.

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.
