Parenting
Sarah J Thompson
Counselor/Therapist, MEd, LPC, LCMHC
For new parents, it can be upsetting and frightening to have feelings about parenthood that don’t seem “right.”
For some, a morning run, a healthy diet and receiving help and support from family and friends are sufficient enough to get through the initial adjustment period. For others, talking to a therapist who specializes in dealing with new parenthood issues can be comforting, relieving and enlightening.
Therapists who have extensive education and training in peri-natal mental health understand that hormone changes, personal and family history, and social support are all vital factors in understanding and alleviating postpartum symptoms.
Common postpartum symptoms include:
Feeling overwhelmed and wondering if you should have become a mother in the first place
Feeling guilty due to high self-expectations
Not feeling “bonded” with the baby
Your thoughts are racing and you can’t quiet your mind
Feeling empty and numb as if you’re just going through the motions
Lack of focus and concentration
Being afraid that if you reach out for help, others will judge your inabilities
Thoughts of running away or leaving your baby behind
Being constantly in a state of worry
If one or more of the above symptoms resonates with you, I invite you to contact me today for a free consultation. Together, we’ll find the underlying issues that make you feel disconnected from your baby and create a strategy for moving forward. Contact me today to see how I can help.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Parenting is often talked about in simplified ways—but in reality, it’s layered, demanding, and constantly evolving. Whether you’re parenting on your own, co-parenting, or parenting within a partnership, it can bring up questions about how you show up, what your child needs, and how to stay grounded in the middle of everything else you’re carrying. Cultural expectations around parenting can add even more pressure—what it should look like, how children should behave, and what it means to be a “good” parent—often without accounting for the realities families are actually living in.
For those navigating co-parenting, the dynamics can be especially complex. Some families operate collaboratively, leaning on each other for shared support and consistency. Others are navigating more strained dynamics, including parallel parenting—where parents function separately with limited coordination. While this can sometimes reduce direct conflict, it often requires ongoing adjustment, especially for children moving between environments, and can leave parents carrying more of the logistical and emotional load.
At Nour Counseling, we support parents in building approaches that feel grounded, intentional, and sustainable. We offer psychoeducation on attachment, child development, and relational dynamics so you can better understand what’s happening beneath behaviors—both your child’s and your own. We also work with you on communication, boundaries, emotional regulation, and creating structures that actually fit your family system. This is not about perfection—it’s about helping you parent in a way that feels more aligned, more supported, and more connected to both your child and yourself.

Dr. Meghan Miller
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Parenting is rewarding, but it can also bring emotional overload, guilt, and the sense of never doing enough. I help parents manage this invisible mental load by using mindfulness-based strategies, emotion regulation skills, and relational interventions to support healthier family dynamics. Together, we’ll work on building self-compassion, setting effective boundaries, and practicing coping techniques that allow you to feel more grounded and present. Therapy is not about perfect parenting - it’s about strengthening resilience and finding joy in the moments that matter most.
