Meghan McGinn
Psychologist, PhD
Sure, you and your partner knew parenting would have its challenges, but you were not quite prepared for how much of your energy it would take and how little you would have left for each other. Your relationship feels rocky in ways you never imagined, you are tired and overstimulated, and the additional mental load (do their clothes still fit? did I fill out that form? which brand of toasted oat cereal will they actually eat?) is soul-crushing. You may feel hesitant to add something else to your to do list, but couple therapy could be a key component of what pulls you out of that state of burnout. You need an experienced couple therapist to help you to feel heard and understood by your partner, to break out of unhelpful communication patterns, and to reclaim some of your time for your needs as an individual and as a couple.

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
Boy is parenting hard! Tough love is always tougher on the parent than the child. I have been teaching parenting classes and working with parent for over 24 years. I listen to parents describe their children and their unique situation and collect the data to inform the suggestions I give them. Children need boundaries so they can test them and know they are safe and loved. They also need consequences to motivate them to learn and grow. All parents want to launch successful secure independent young adults so I teach parents how to implement early interventions to meet that goal.

Erica Hart
Psychologist, PhD in Clinical Psychology
Becoming a parent often opens up feelings about our own parents. We often are trying to "do better" for our kids, but this can have its challenges. I support clients who are trying to understand their parental roles, heal from historic family wounds, and find balance and self-compassion in their lives.

South Bend is an Indiana city historically defined by the Studebaker automobile company—which closed in 1963, leaving a significant deindustrialization legacy—and by the University of Notre Dame, whose global prestige and Catholic intellectual tradition sit just outside the city limits in an unusual town-gown relationship, and the city gained wider attention when its mayor Pete Buttigieg ran for president, reflecting an ongoing effort to position South Bend as a model for revitalizing Midwestern post-industrial cities. The city has a significant Black community that has faced longstanding disparities in economic opportunity, and the mental health landscape is marked by racial stress alongside the general challenges of economic revitalization. Beacon Health System provides behavioral health services, and a private therapy sector serves the university-adjacent and professional communities. Common therapy concerns include racial identity and systemic stress, economic anxiety and community transition, Notre Dame student mental health, faith and Catholic identity, and the emotional complexity of a city working to define itself beyond the stories of what it has lost.
