Parenting
Audrey Stempel, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Parents tend to parent their children the way they were parented or the exact opposite. Neither of these strategies are often successful. Parents of a child who may be neurodivergent or struggling with attention or behavioral issues require specialized support tailored to the child. Parenting can be joyful once a management plan is in place and parents learn how to provide the support their child needs.

James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
I participated in raising my own 3 children, and I have helped countless other parents to raise theirs. I try to come to a quick, adequate understanding of the unconscious patterns in parents that lead them to evoke frustrating, unhappy patterns of interaction with children, and work with them to develop alternatives that work more happily for all parties. When a child is so disabled for whatever reason, as to present pressing, unusual challenges for a parent, I try to play the role of an inventive resource for creating better strategies for dealing whatever those challenges are. Raising children is an infinitely complex arena which can bring out all of life's challenges along with its deepest pleasures. I try to use my permission to take part in the family's life to move things in the direction of less conflict and frustration and more mutual growth and interest.

Parenting in this era has many complex challenges, especially if you have wounds from your own childhood trauma or disappointments. I can help you problem solve with parenting techniques, but also get to the heart of your own emotional regulation so that you can be a better parent to your children.

Parenting: The Ultimate Systemic Challenge
Moving from Survival to Connection
Parenting is perhaps the most profound "attachment laboratory" we will ever enter. It has the power to bring up our greatest joys and our deepest "ghosts" from the past. In my practice, I move beyond standard "behavioral tips" to help parents understand the relational system at play. Whether you are navigating the "toddler years," the "teen years," or the complex transition into adult-child relationships, I provide a space to parent with intention rather than reactivity.
Navigating the Modern Parenting System
Today’s parents are facing unprecedented levels of burnout and overwhelmed by "expert" advice. We work together to find your voice in the noise, addressing:
The "Parental Melt Down": Understanding the neurobiology of why we "flip our lids" and learning somatic tools to stay within your Window of Tolerance when your child is out of theirs.
Neurodivergent Parenting: Providing specialized support for parents of neurodivergent children, or for neurodivergent parents themselves, navigating sensory overstimulation and executive functioning demands.
The Cycle of Rejection Sensitivity: Addressing how our own childhood wounds can make a child’s natural independence feel like a personal rejection.
A Research-Backed, Heart-Centered Approach
With over 20 years of experience and a PhD in Child and Family Studies, I integrate high-level theory with practical, everyday application:
Attachment-Based Parenting: Using Attachment Theory to move away from "power struggles" and toward a secure base where your child feels seen, safe, and soothed.
Systems Theory & Family Dynamics: We look at the "hidden" roles everyone plays in the family. How does the stress in the marriage, the workplace, or the social system impact the child’s behavior?
Parenting through Transition: Supporting families through the "big shifts"—divorce, moving, new siblings, or spiritual deconstruction—ensuring the family bond remains resilient.
Supporting the "Helper" Parent
I have a deep commitment to working with therapists and pastors as parents. It is uniquely difficult to hold space for others all day and then come home to the raw, unfiltered demands of a family. I provide a confidential sanctuary where you can take off the "expert" hat and find the support you need to be the parent you want to be.
