Parenting
Audrey Stempel, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Parents tend to parent their children the way they were parented or the exact opposite. Neither of these strategies are often successful. Parents of a child who may be neurodivergent or struggling with attention or behavioral issues require specialized support tailored to the child. Parenting can be joyful once a management plan is in place and parents learn how to provide the support their child needs.

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.

I approach parenting by exploring the parts of you that feel overwhelmed, protective, or uncertain, while also honoring the deep love you carry for your child. Through IFS, mindfulness, and practical coping tools, we work to strengthen balance, patience, and confidence in your role as a parent.

Authentically You Counseling
Treatment Center, LCMHC
Scheduling at AYC is easy - schedule an intake as soon as next week. Finding the courage to be true to yourself despite the challenges you have to overcome is the ultimate goal of therapy. I believe one of the greatest grievances is living an inauthentic life with who you are. Regardless of what you’ve been through, if something is stopping you from living your truth - if fear prevents you from engaging in life the way you want or you are attempting to live up to some societal or personal expectation so far out of reach it hurts - If something is preventing you from living your fullest life, you can make a difference!
I want to help you reach your fullest potential according to your personal truth, values and beliefs. If we embark on this journey together, you will be the driver. I will simply help you see the different paths to reaching your end goal. In the end, you must be true to yourself in choosing the path you wish to take - or none at all.
Finding your truth sometimes means making a decision about whether or not to live your full truth. We can work together to help you explore your options to make the right choice for You. Making the call (or email) to start your journey is the first step - Let us start your journey together!

Haley Busch
Psychologist, Ph.D., L.P.
Parenting reactivates your own childhood, usually without announcing that it is doing so. The parents I work with tend to be thoughtful and deliberate, determined not to repeat what was done to them, and then startled by their own reactivity at bedtime. Mentalization-Based Treatment is particularly useful in parenting work: holding your child's mind in mind — wondering what a behavior means rather than only responding to it — is a learnable skill, and it is also what most reliably interrupts a generational pattern. We also work on repair, which matters more than getting it right, and on the guilt that makes repair hard to offer.
