Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
One of the most important aspects of our work is affecting future generations. A couple’s ability to work well together directly touches their children in a profound way. After even a few months of work together we see couples feeling relief in their parenting together, their children feeling better because they feel better, and the whole family system living harmoniously together. Not only do we help couples develop intimacy, better understand one another, and breathe air and life into their relationship, but we facilitate this in their parenting styles as well.
And parenting is not for the faint of heart! We understand that the well-being of your children is unspeakably important to you and we’re also able to help you through developmental milestones, better understanding how to handle the inevitable rough spots presented to you as they grow.
If you’re in the process of divorcing, co-parenting can be one of the largest challenges. Your children give you the noblest reason to work on issues with your ex. Divorce doesn’t have to be traumatic for your kids, even if it has been for you and your partner. There are definite and concrete ways to support and guide your children through this difficult season. Being supported by a therapist can also provide a venue to safely air grievances and suss them out without fear that your fight will spill over into your parenting or ruin your week. Separation and divorce has no end to frustrations and hurts, even without children in the mix. Add your kids and it becomes almost unbearably heartbreaking and complex. We will help you navigate these rough waters for as long as you might need.

Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
You’re trying to hold it all together, but you’re barely holding on. You’re parenting in the middle of a storm: toxic ex, high-conflict divorce, emotional exhaustion, and burnout so deep it feels like you're running on fumes. You're juggling work, school pick-ups, court drama, and constant pressure to stay calm for your kids when inside, you're falling apart.
You’re not failing. You’re just carrying way too much. And you don’t have to do this alone.
I’m Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver, licensed psychologist, certified coach, and host of The Mama Shrink Podcast. I specialize in helping high-functioning, overwhelmed moms, navigate the chaos of parallel parenting, toxic divorce, and midlife motherhood with strength, strategy, and support. Whether you are staying for the kids or thinking about divorce, there is no easy way.
Whether you’re in the thick of post-separation abuse, experiencing parental alienation, managing a narcissistic co-parent, or feeling the grief of parenting alone after years of trying to “make it work,” I’m here to help you heal while parenting because your kids need you to be emotionally healthy.
I work with moms who are:
-Navigating coparenting/parallel parenting with a toxic ex
-Experiencing parental alienation and emotional manipulation through the kids
-Parenting alone after divorce or emotional abandonment
-Trying to reconnect with themselves while raising teens
-Grieving the loss of “normalcy” and stability in their parenting journey
-Trying to enjoy motherhood but are overwhelmed, triggered, or emotionally depleted
Many of the moms I work with love their children deeply, but have lost themselves. Your kids don’t need perfection. They need you: healed, whole, and still standing. Parenting is the hardest and most important job in the world, reach out today because you don't have to do this alone.
