Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC-MHSP
You are an exceptional parent.
That’s why you’re here.
You are the expert on your child,
and you know that sometimes children need extra support.
That’s why we’re here.
Your child is experiencing a whirlwind of negative emotions, triggered by “anything and everything”. It’s difficult to even keep track anymore.
One minute they seem to be happy. The next minute they’re having a meltdown.
The cause of the meltdown, however big or small, isn’t the problem. How they handle these situations is the real issue.
As parents, you wish you could remove every barrier throughout your child’s life so that they never have to encounter anything that causes them to feel upset.
But the truth is, you can’t. Your child will have to hear the word “no” throughout their life. They will have to follow rules that aren’t fun. They’ll have to experience situations that don’t seem fair. They won’t always get their way, and they won’t win every game.
I get it! No one likes these experiences, but if everyone had a meltdown every time we encountered them, imagine what the world would look like. Let’s teach your child some ways to handle them early-on.
Anxiety and sadness may also cause your child to avoid necessary tasks like going to school, spending time with family, or doing their chores.
Managing and communicating negative emotions is difficult for a child. Their natural response to these feelings may be to scream in anger, throw a tantrum or ignore everyone in tearful silence.
Here’s the good news.
No child is “born with” the tools to manage their emotions, but these skills can be easily learned!
Throughout this journey, your child will begin using their words to communicate their feelings and using their coping skills to regulate their emotions.
You will learn ways to help your child when they’re upset and techniques to manage their behaviors.
Like most parents, you’re not sure where to begin.
I will be your expert guide throughout the whole process- from the first phone call to the final therapy session.
Again, you are the expert, so let’s work together to find a successful treatment path for your child.

Dr. Amy Schullery
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I help new moms and dads adjust to parenthood. Bringing a new baby into the house is stressful. We work on effective strategies to balance everything, maintain a good relationship, and adapt to an expanding family. I work with moms while they are pregnant, postpartum, and parents that have multiple children too. Dads need help adjusting too. I also work with parents with older children- to help them develop effective strategies for parenting, having good relationships with their growing kids, and adjusting to kids growing up or moving out of the home.

I believe, as do my colleagues at Heal and Hope Counseling Services, LLC; that parenting is the most important position and job that any person can have since parents are front line and center of the lives and well-being of others; and we nor they will get a second chance at life. Teaching character traits with each task and lesson is paramount. We teach parenting for all age groups and are aware how screens are directly effecting the brain, development, and dysfunction of our children.
