Natalie A Shafer
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, LPC
Parenting can be both deeply meaningful and unexpectedly challenging. It often brings moments of joy alongside stress, self-doubt, and shifting expectations. I work with you to explore your experience, strengthen your confidence, and navigate the complexities of parenting in a way that feels grounded and sustainable.

Juliette Grantham
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I'm Juliette Grantham, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist specializing in parenting.
Parenting has a way of stirring up your own history long before you expected it to. You might notice the pull to do things differently than you were raised, a fear of repeating what was done to you even as you catch yourself doing it, or guilt after losing patience with a child you love. A child also reorganizes everything else: your time, your relationships, your sense of who you are. Even a long-wanted child brings losses alongside the joy, and those losses often go unspoken.
I work psychoanalytically, which means we look at what these reactions are communicating rather than only at the moment in front of you. The patterns that surface in parenting carry an unconscious logic worth understanding: old lessons about closeness, conflict, or being cared for that were learned long before you became a parent yourself. As those lessons come into view, they tend to loosen their hold on an ordinary Tuesday, and there is more room to parent from where you actually are rather than from what was passed down to you.
If parenting has brought up more than you expected, I would be glad to talk.

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.
