Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
I specialize in supporting parents who are feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure how to handle challenging behaviors and emotional dynamics at home. Parenting doesn’t come with a manual, and even the most capable parents can feel stuck at times. Together, we focus on practical strategies to improve communication, set clear and consistent boundaries, and respond to your child in a way that supports both their emotional development and your own well-being. My approach is collaborative, realistic, and grounded in helping you feel more confident, connected, and steady in your role as a parent.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I approach parenting with a faith-based perspective, integrating psychological insights with Christian principles to provide guidance and support to individuals navigating the challenges of raising children. Recognizing the significance of family values and biblical teachings on parenting, I foster an environment that promotes effective communication, empathy, and the application of Christian virtues. Discussions on prayer, scriptural guidance, and the importance of instilling moral and spiritual values are integrated into counseling sessions. I collaborate with parents to address specific parenting concerns, offering strategies rooted in both psychological expertise and Christian beliefs. This holistic approach aims to empower parents to cultivate a nurturing and spiritually enriching environment for their children while navigating the complexities of parenthood within the context of their faith.

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.

Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Being a parent is a tough. Regardless of the age of your child(ren), it can be easy to feel stuck or overwhelmed when trying to navigate the complexities of your child's development. It's common for parents to feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or exhausted, especially when trying to discover the best approaches for you and your family. In our sessions, we partner together to work through parenting challenges while gaining deeper understanding and compassion for both you and your child. We can build additional insights into the expectations you hold for yourself and your family, while uncovering how many of these beliefs may have been shaped by your own experiences and upbringing. Using your values to guide the way, our sessions focus on developing and tailoring parenting strategies that align with the type of relationship you want to foster with your child, and that can support greater cohesion, respect for your and your child's humanness, and increased connection.
