Parenting
Meghan McGinn
Psychologist, PhD
Sure, you and your partner knew parenting would have its challenges, but you were not quite prepared for how much of your energy it would take and how little you would have left for each other. Your relationship feels rocky in ways you never imagined, you are tired and overstimulated, and the additional mental load (do their clothes still fit? did I fill out that form? which brand of toasted oat cereal will they actually eat?) is soul-crushing. You may feel hesitant to add something else to your to do list, but couple therapy could be a key component of what pulls you out of that state of burnout. You need an experienced couple therapist to help you to feel heard and understood by your partner, to break out of unhelpful communication patterns, and to reclaim some of your time for your needs as an individual and as a couple.

Parenting
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.

Parenting
Dr. Jana Rundle
Psychologist, Psy.D., PMH-C
Parenting can be deeply meaningful, but it can also feel overwhelming, exhausting, and filled with self-doubt. Many parents find themselves struggling with the emotional demands of raising children while also trying to manage work, relationships, and their own well-being. You may feel stretched thin, unsure how to respond to certain challenges with your child, or worried that you’re not doing enough. Therapy with me can provide a supportive space to talk openly about the realities of parenting, explore the stress and emotions that come with it, and develop practical strategies that help you feel more confident and grounded as a parent. My work includes supporting parents through the emotional and relational aspects of raising children while helping them care for themselves along the way.

CBT Center
Psychologist, ABPP, A-CBT
Parenting is the hardest job with the least amount of training. At The CBT Center, we help parents navigate everything from toddler tantrums to teenage eye rolls, along with the anxiety, guilt, and self-doubt that tend to come with the territory. We use evidence-based approaches to help parents build skills, improve relationships with their kids, and go a little easier on themselves in the process.
