Parenting
Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help parents manage the stress, pressure, and emotional demands that come with raising children while also trying to maintain their own well-being, relationships, and responsibilities. Many parents struggle with guilt, overwhelm, irritability, decision fatigue, or feeling like they are never doing enough. In therapy, we work on improving emotional regulation, communication, boundaries, and practical coping strategies. My goal is to help parents feel more grounded, confident, and connected in both parenting and personal life.

Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Parenting after narcissistic abuse, especially when you are co-parenting or parallel parenting with a narcissistic or emotionally abusive ex-partner, is one of the most complex and exhausting challenges a mother can face. The co-parenting relationship becomes a vehicle for ongoing control and harassment. Your children may be used as pawns. You may be navigating custody evaluations, family court proceedings, and the psychological impact of parental alienation attempts, all while trying to be a stable, present mother to children who are also being affected by the conflict. I specialize in supporting mothers through the specific parenting challenges that arise from narcissistic abuse and high-conflict co-parenting dynamics. My work addresses how to protect your children from the impact of a narcissistic or emotionally abusive co-parent, how to maintain your own stability so you can parent effectively, and how to navigate the family court system when it doesn't understand what you're dealing with. This is specialized parenting support for mothers in one of the most difficult situations a parent can face.
