Internal Family Systems
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
You’re holding everything together—but inside, you’re falling apart.
You’re successful, driven, and the one everyone counts on… but you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and like you’ve lost yourself.
Hi, I’m Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver. I’m a licensed psychologist with over 25 years of experience, and I specialize in helping high-achieving women recover from burnout, narcissistic abuse, and the emotional exhaustion that comes from constantly giving while never getting your own needs met. Whether you’re navigating toxic relationships, grief, gaslighting, anxiety, or the chaos of co-parenting with a narcissist, I bring both clinical expertise and coaching tools to help you heal and move forward.
I provide virtual therapy across Psypact states, and I offer private coaching and one-on-one intensives for women nationwide—especially in California and New York. I’m also the host of The Mama Shrink Podcast, where I talk openly about healing, parenting through hard stuff, and breaking free from the patterns that keep women stuck.

Feeling alone? Confused with how you got here, or even where to go from here? Frustrated with not feeling authentic? Or maybe you’re stuck in the same pattern.

I provide a compassionate space to explore your experience, and experiment with what it means to live authentically in a world of conflicting norms/expectations. Together, we will work to make intentional and sustainable changes. If you feel like we might be a good fit, please reach out for a free 20-minute phone consultation where I can answer any of your lingering questions.

Greta Cowles Consulting
Life Coach, LMFT, SEP, PIT, Trauma Stress Studies
Depending on each client’s needs, Gretchen’s approach is tailor made, whether it be within the privacy of productive therapeutic meetings or within the courts for the benefit of the client. Each family member is considered to play a role in the emotional, behavioral and relational patterns with the family system. Gretchen’s approach allows for every member of the family to make changes and heal, as she doesn’t identify a single member as the scapegoat or “identified patient. Gretchen’s clients include high net-worth individuals, families, sports celebrities, entrepreneurs and executives.
