Haley Busch
Psychologist, Ph.D., L.P.
Parenting reactivates your own childhood, usually without announcing that it is doing so. The parents I work with tend to be thoughtful and deliberate, determined not to repeat what was done to them, and then startled by their own reactivity at bedtime. Mentalization-Based Treatment is particularly useful in parenting work: holding your child's mind in mind — wondering what a behavior means rather than only responding to it — is a learnable skill, and it is also what most reliably interrupts a generational pattern. We also work on repair, which matters more than getting it right, and on the guilt that makes repair hard to offer.

Providence is home to Brown University, Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), and Providence College — together generating significant student mental health demand and a creative, intellectually engaged population that views therapy favorably and tends toward longer-term, exploratory work. The city has a large Cape Verdean and Latino community, with a significant Guatemalan and Dominican population that creates demand for culturally affirming, Spanish-speaking therapists who understand the particular dynamics of immigrant family life in New England. Rhode Island Hospital and the Brown University Health system provide institutional mental health resources, while Brown's Warren Alpert Medical School maintains important psychiatric training programs. Providence's arts and hospitality economy creates consistent demand for therapists experienced with creative identity, economic precarity, and the mental health challenges of artists and performers.
