Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Parenting can bring immense joy, but it can also create stress, conflict, exhaustion, and shifts in relationship dynamics and decimate sexual connection. Couples may struggle with differences in parenting styles, values, division of responsibilities, or maintaining emotional connection while caring for children. Gottman Method couples therapy helps parents strengthen their partnership by improving communication, increasing teamwork, and creating a more supportive and connected family environment. Therapy provides space to navigate parenting disagreements with greater understanding and respect while also prioritizing the health of the couple relationship. By building stronger emotional connection and collaborative problem-solving skills, couples can feel more united and resilient in the challenges of parenting together.

Sanela Solak
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Parenting is perhaps one of the most challenging roles we can take on. It is physically, emotionally, and mentally demanding—especially in nuclear-family systems or solo parenting, where the support of a larger village is often missing. Parenting asks so much of us, not only in caring for our children, but also in facing parts of ourselves that may still need attention, healing, and support.
Our children often touch the deepest places in us—the places where we have been hurt, where we feel limited, or where old patterns live on. In this way, parenting can become an invitation to heal, grow, and become more present and resourced than our caregivers may have been able to be for us. This is not only personal, but also shaped by ancestral and collective forces that influence how we parent and how we were parented.
If parenting feels hard, it does not mean you are failing. It may simply mean that there are places within you that need care, nourishment, and support. Often, our children illuminate where we are being called to show up more fully for ourselves so that we can more fully show up for them.
When we are supported in that process, parenting can become one of the most rewarding and meaningful experiences life has to offer.

Dr. Susan E. Schumacher
Licensed Professional Counselor, DA, LPC, LCPC, CCTP, EMDR Clinician
Parenting is complex at any age. Are your struggling to manage sleep deprivation with toddlers and your career? Are there just not enough hours in the day to manage life with teenagers, along with relationship and career demands? Do your adult sons/daughters expect or demand things of you that make you uncomfortable? Together, we can slow things down, focus on your unique needs and wants, and figure out next steps for strategies of parenting, at any age.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with parents who feel stretched thin by what parenting is asking of them. This may be because your child is neurodivergent, has medical needs, has been through a frightening or overwhelming experience, or because this stage of parenting is simply more intense than you expected. Parents I see often describe feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or on edge much of the time; not knowing how to respond to big emotions, shutdown, or challenging behaviors; worrying about a child’s ADHD, learning needs, or mental health; grieving that family life looks different from what they imagined; feeling tension with a partner or co‑parent about parenting styles, division of labor, or how to support a child; and feeling lonely or unseen in their role, even when they are doing everything they can and know to do.
I work with parents individually, and with couples who want support around how parenting is affecting their relationship. In our work together, there is room for the full range of your experience: love, worry, anger, guilt, and everything in between. We look for ways of relating to your child, and to each other, that feel more grounded, sustainable, and aligned with what matters most to you. I also work with parents who are navigating parenting while healing from their own past experiences, including trauma, complicated family histories, or critical inner voices.
