Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Parenting after narcissistic abuse, especially when you are co-parenting or parallel parenting with a narcissistic or emotionally abusive ex-partner, is one of the most complex and exhausting challenges a mother can face. The co-parenting relationship becomes a vehicle for ongoing control and harassment. Your children may be used as pawns. You may be navigating custody evaluations, family court proceedings, and the psychological impact of parental alienation attempts, all while trying to be a stable, present mother to children who are also being affected by the conflict. I specialize in supporting mothers through the specific parenting challenges that arise from narcissistic abuse and high-conflict co-parenting dynamics. My work addresses how to protect your children from the impact of a narcissistic or emotionally abusive co-parent, how to maintain your own stability so you can parent effectively, and how to navigate the family court system when it doesn't understand what you're dealing with. This is specialized parenting support for mothers in one of the most difficult situations a parent can face.

MN Couples & Family Therapy
Psychologist, Ph.D., L.P.
Parenting disagreement is one of the most common sources of relationship distress. I work with parents across the developmental spectrum to find solutions to common challenges. Additionally, I work with couples to find successful conflict management strategies around parenting. Part of the ADHD coaching I provide is for parents to better understand how to help support their children and build skills.

Stephanie Miodus
Psychologist, PhD, NCSP
I specialize in partnering with parents, caregivers, nannies, and educators to develop customized strategies that promote success both at home and in school. Recognizing the critical role families play in fostering growth and well-being, I emphasize collaboration, open communication, and shared decision-making to create individualized plans that address each child’s unique needs.
In addition to offering general parenting guidance, I provide evidence-based parent training programs, such as Parent Management Training (PMT) to learn effective strategies to reduce behavioral challenges and support positive change for your child, RUBI Parent Training to help manage behavioral challenges and support developmental progress for autistic children, and SPACE to help parents reduce your child’s anxiety by changing how you respond. My approach empowers families with practical tools and strategies to address a wide range of concerns related to autism, ADHD, and other developmental disabilities. Whether navigating challenging behaviors, improving daily routines, or enhancing social-emotional skills, my goal is to strengthen family dynamics and promote positive outcomes.
I also offer family therapy to help improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships within the household. By addressing family dynamics and fostering understanding, my work supports healthier interactions and greater resilience for both children and adults.
Through a compassionate, strengths-based approach, I strive to build strong partnerships that empower parents and caregivers to feel confident and supported every step of the way.

Ryan Egan
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Parenting doesn't come with a manual. Fortunately, there are many battle-tested psychological techniques designed specifically for problems like defiance, aggression, moodiness, anxiety, and more. I've read the research and learned the protocols, so you can stand on the shoulders of countless other families who figured things out and restored peace to their homes.
