Marcus A. McDuffie Sr.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW-S, BCD
If you’re a parent feeling overwhelmed by communication challenges, difficult behaviors, discipline decisions, competing responsibilities, or concerns about staying connected with your child, therapy can help. Parenting can be deeply rewarding, but it can also bring stress, uncertainty, frustration, and self-doubt. In therapy, you’ll have a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore your parenting experiences, better understand your child’s needs and behaviors, strengthen your parenting skills, and develop practical strategies that fit your family.
Together, we can work toward improving communication, setting healthy boundaries, navigating discipline with greater confidence, strengthening the parent-child relationship, and creating a healthier, more connected family environment. Therapy can help you feel more confident in your parenting, respond to challenges with greater intention, and support your family’s emotional well-being.
I also work with individuals, couples, and families experiencing depression, anxiety, grief and loss, work and career challenges, PTSD and trauma-related concerns, stress, ADHD, anger management, and many other therapeutic concerns. Through compassionate, personalized care, I can help you better understand yourself and your family, build on your strengths, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Robin Britt
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-S
Nobody gives you a manual. And even if they did, it wouldn't cover your kid — the one who doesn't respond the way the books say they should, who pushes every boundary, who you love fiercely and still don't always know how to reach.
Parenting is one of the most meaningful and most depleting things a person can do. I work with parents who are struggling — not because they're doing it wrong, but because it's genuinely hard and they're doing it without enough support.
I have particular experience working with parents of neurodiverse children — kids with ADHD, autism, or both — because I've lived that road myself. I understand the advocacy fatigue, the grief that can come alongside a diagnosis, the way it affects your marriage, your other kids, and your sense of yourself as a parent. You deserve a space to process all of that, not just strategies.
I also work with parents navigating the turbulence of the teen years, co-parenting challenges, blended family dynamics, and the general burnout that comes from giving everything you have and running on empty. Sessions may focus entirely on you as a parent, or run alongside your child's own therapy — whatever best supports your family.
Good parents ask for help. I'd be glad to be part of yours.

Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Parenting can bring immense joy, but it can also create stress, conflict, exhaustion, and shifts in relationship dynamics and decimate sexual connection. Couples may struggle with differences in parenting styles, values, division of responsibilities, or maintaining emotional connection while caring for children. Gottman Method couples therapy helps parents strengthen their partnership by improving communication, increasing teamwork, and creating a more supportive and connected family environment. Therapy provides space to navigate parenting disagreements with greater understanding and respect while also prioritizing the health of the couple relationship. By building stronger emotional connection and collaborative problem-solving skills, couples can feel more united and resilient in the challenges of parenting together.

Lauren Chavis
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
Parenting can bring enormous love alongside stress, self-doubt, frustration, and the feeling that you're never quite getting it right. I work with parents who want to better understand their own reactions, navigate challenging family dynamics, and find approaches to parenting that feel both effective and consistent with the kind of parent they want to be.
