Parenting
Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Parenting is one of the most rewarding yet emotionally demanding roles a person can take on. No matter how much you love your child, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or even exhausted by the weight of responsibility. Maybe you struggle with patience, feel guilt over not being the "perfect" parent, or second-guess your decisions. Perhaps you're navigating a tough stage—tantrums, teenage rebellion, or parenting through big life transitions—and you just want to feel more confident in how you show up for your child.
The truth is, there is no perfect way to parent—only a way that works best for you and your family. Together, we will explore the challenges you’re facing, strengthen your ability to set boundaries with love, and help you trust your instincts as a parent. You don’t have to do this alone. With support, self-compassion, and the right tools, parenting can feel less overwhelming and more aligned with the kind of connection and guidance you want to provide for your child.

Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
Parenting can be deeply rewarding, but it also comes with stress, self-doubt, and emotional challenges—especially in today’s fast-paced world. I work with parents seeking guidance, clarity, and support in navigating the demands of raising children at any stage, from early childhood to adolescence. Together, we explore effective communication, boundary-setting, and emotional attunement, while also addressing issues like parental burnout, co-parenting, and discipline struggles. My goal is to help you parent with greater confidence, connection, and calm, while also honoring your own needs and well-being.

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.

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.

Linda Michlin Ludwig
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I am a parent and a grandparent. I am blessed to be in a loving marriage for fifty-three years. I think parenting is both one of the most gratifying of jobs, but also one of the most difficult. No one is a "perfect" parent. As we age many of us will have regrets about some of the ways we parented.
If you are a parent you will have your own unique concerns you will want to talk about. Let's explore what they are.
