Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anytime we work with a child, we want to work with the parent, not because the parent might be doing something wrong, but because as a parent you have the single greatest influence in your child's life. Anything that goes from me to your child just is not nearly as effective as anything that goes from you to your child. So we partner with the parents and the child and utilize a collaborative plan.

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.

Monarch-Therapies Kathryn Schormann
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC
My passion is to help people realize what is possible, what they are capable of, and finding their best self. Parenting in today's world is a balancing act between self care and caring for others. Leading your children through life in today's highly volatile world can be scary. I have been there and live it everyday. Whether it is dealing with coparenting issues, sibling discord, anger management, effective parenting style and discipline, scheduling and planning chidren's days, maintaining adult relationships, the physical and emotional demands of parenting can be overwhelming and detrimental to your health. I will walk with you and support you in your journey. I will meet you where you are and together we will collaborate in your personal growth through self discovery, self acknowledgement and self care. We will discover patterns within communiction styles, and looking at past and present experiences to see how they are impacting how you are relating to your child and even your parenting partner. I use a strength based approach, combining it with CBT, mindfulness and somatic approaches. I will support you, providing a safe place to process emotions so you get to the root cause of what is keeping you from feeling fully effective in your parenting.
