Make Marriage Better
Psychologist, Ph.D.
At Make Marriage Better, we understand that parenting can be both rewarding and challenging, often bringing to the surface unresolved fears and emotional patterns from our own upbringing. Our approach to parenting focuses on helping individuals and couples identify the essential fears that influence their parenting styles, such as fear of inadequacy, fear of losing control, or fear of repeating past mistakes. Using the Deconstructing Anxiety™ method, we guide parents to uncover their “chief defenses,” which may manifest as overprotection, criticism, or emotional distance. By encouraging parents to do the opposite of these defenses, we create a nurturing space for them to develop healthier parenting strategies, communicate effectively with their children, and foster emotional intelligence within their families. This transformative process not only strengthens parent-child relationships but also promotes a more harmonious family dynamic, allowing both parents and children to thrive.

Merritt Posten Benz
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSCSW, CDWF, MCLC
Within any family there are many moving parts, and each members' experiences and struggles have an impact on the functioning of the whole family unit . This is both good news and bad news. The good news is change in one area, or in one member, impacts the family as a whole. The hard part is stepping out and finding a place to start - and I'm here to say, "it won't be as hard as it feels right now."

Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Are you a mom in your 40s or 50s, navigating the complexities of parenting, career, and personal well-being? I’m Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver, a licensed clinical psychologist with 25 years of experience. I specialize in helping moms like you prioritize self-care, model healthy behaviors for your children, and navigate parenting challenges.
Children learn by observing what we do, not just by what we say. It’s essential to demonstrate self-care, resilience, and balance in your own life. As a mother who began parenting later in life and now raises young children at midlife, I understand the unique challenges you face. Having worked extensively with children and adolescents, I have a deep understanding of their developmental needs and how your well-being impacts them.
Recently becoming a single mom has presented me with new challenges, especially at midlife. This experience has deepened my empathy and insight into balancing personal care with the demands of single parenthood. I know firsthand how crucial it is to carve out time for yourself amidst the daily chaos.
In our work together, we’ll develop practical strategies to integrate self-care into your routine, manage parenting challenges, and nurture your own needs. By prioritizing your well-being, you’ll feel more energized and fulfilled, while also modeling positive behaviors for your children. I’m here to support you in navigating these complexities with empathy and expertise.
Take the first step towards a healthier, more balanced life for you and your family. Reach out today to start your journey to empowerment and well-being, both as a mom and as an individual.
