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.

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.

Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Being a parent is a tough. Regardless of the age of your child(ren), it can be easy to feel stuck or overwhelmed when trying to navigate the complexities of your child's development. It's common for parents to feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or exhausted, especially when trying to discover the best approaches for you and your family. In our sessions, we partner together to work through parenting challenges while gaining deeper understanding and compassion for both you and your child. We can build additional insights into the expectations you hold for yourself and your family, while uncovering how many of these beliefs may have been shaped by your own experiences and upbringing. Using your values to guide the way, our sessions focus on developing and tailoring parenting strategies that align with the type of relationship you want to foster with your child, and that can support greater cohesion, respect for your and your child's humanness, and increased connection.

Sandra Lashley
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Parenting brings great joy and sometimes great challenges. As children mature the complexities involved in parenting them can make parenting feel much more demanding and at times uncertain. Parents can feel alone or unsure for a myriad of reasons. If a child is ill or a family has experienced a loss or other unexpected events it can be difficult for parents to know what to do. I have worked with many clients who were experiencing parenting issues who benefitted from the safe space, problem solving and parent training that psychotherapy can offer.

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.
