Denver, Colorado therapist: Margaret Graham, licensed professional counselor
Parenting

Margaret Graham

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Parenting adult children who've moved back home – or never quite left – is its own unique challenge that most parenting books don't cover. You love your kids fiercely, but you're also exhausted, confused about your role, and quietly wondering when you get to have your own life back. Maybe your 25-year-old is sleeping in their childhood bedroom while you tiptoe around setting boundaries. Maybe you're navigating a young adult's mental health struggles, neurodiversity, or just plain difficulty launching in today's impossible economy. You oscillate between wanting to help and worrying you're enabling, between feeling like a good parent and feeling like you're being taken advantage of. The guilt is real, the resentment is real, and so is the love. I work with parents in the "crowded nest" to sort out what's yours to carry and what belongs to your adult child, how to set boundaries that don't feel cruel, and how to support their growth without stunting it. We'll also focus on you – reclaiming your identity beyond being everyone's problem-solver, creating space for your own needs without the guilt, and learning to trust yourself when everyone else has opinions about what you should do.

Columbia, Maryland therapist: Sarah Jacques, licensed clinical social worker
Parenting

Sarah Jacques

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSWC-C
Parenting can be incredibly rewarding, but it’s also one of the hardest jobs in the world—especially when raising a neurodivergent child. I work with parents to strengthen communication, increase understanding, and create supportive structures at home. Using tools like the SPACE program, I help parents reduce accommodating behaviors driven by anxiety and replace them with strategies that encourage growth and resilience. Together, we’ll build a calmer, more connected family dynamic.

Parenting

Christine Highfill

Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC-S
Parenting is deeply rewarding, but it can also be overwhelming, stressful, and filled with uncertainty. Whether you’re navigating the early years, supporting a child through adolescence, or balancing your own well-being while caring for your family, therapy can provide a space for guidance and support. I help parents develop effective strategies for communication, discipline, emotional regulation, and connection—while also addressing feelings of burnout, guilt, or self-doubt. Together, we’ll focus on strengthening your confidence as a parent, improving family relationships, and creating a healthier balance for both you and your child.

Bethesda, Maryland therapist: Louisa Lombard, licensed professional counselor
Parenting

Louisa Lombard

Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPCC, PPS
Parenting is a very hard, beautiful job. Parenting a child with special needs, or a 2E kid is typically an even tougher job, and it's also uniquely beautiful. I am a mom to two school-aged kids and I do get it on a personal and professional level. In the past, I've worked as a School Counselor and School-based therapist with kids and their parents at multiple Los Angeles area K-12 schools. Currently, I often support parents of HSP/Neurodivergent and/or Gifted kids.

Bethesda, Maryland therapist: Amanda Shrekenhamer, licensed professional counselor
Parenting

Amanda Shrekenhamer

Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC
I repeatedly hear my clients who are parents (especially those who are parents of young children), that they often feel unsupported and left behind, both by those who surround them, and by society as a whole. Being a parent isn't easy in the best of times, but being a parent in the current times can feel impossible. To all of the parents out there, I see you, and recognize the unique struggles you have had to confront. I often help parents find their way through parental burnout, balance parenting obligations with demanding work schedules, and find a sense of peace amongst the anxiety and uncertainty that can accompany raising children.
