Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC
I approach parenting with a faith-based perspective, integrating psychological insights with Christian principles to provide guidance and support to individuals navigating the challenges of raising children. Recognizing the significance of family values and biblical teachings on parenting, I foster an environment that promotes effective communication, empathy, and the application of Christian virtues. Discussions on prayer, scriptural guidance, and the importance of instilling moral and spiritual values are integrated into counseling sessions. I collaborate with parents to address specific parenting concerns, offering strategies rooted in both psychological expertise and Christian beliefs. This holistic approach aims to empower parents to cultivate a nurturing and spiritually enriching environment for their children while navigating the complexities of parenthood within the context of their faith.

Joshua Redding
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Parenting at any age can be difficult. Even with another adult in the house (sometimes especially with another adult in the house) - Everyone could use a space to talk about this stress, feel heard, and find some solutions to tackle difficult issues within the family. Sometimes it's just so you can get on the same page with your partner or discuss how to manage the behavior of a child. Therapy can help. Consider booking a free 30-minute consult to explore more.

Dr. Stephanie Vaughn
Psychologist, Psy.D., DBT-LBC™
If it’s therapy between multiple family members that you need, we have therapists with experience.
Family therapy can be a great place to start or the perfect place to “end up.” When one member of the family is having issues, it affects EVERY member. How each person copes with problems is unique. If there is one thing a family therapist might share it would be this: When each person works to “own their part,” change is more likely to occur. Sometimes, it works best if individual therapy comes first—there may be a history of misunderstandings that need to be worked through before you all get together in the same room. Family therapy is even possible online. Each member can join from separate rooms, or they can sit together—just like in person. Learning the basics of healthy communication, identifying hidden resentments, and exploring unspoken family “rules” can be tough, but absolutely worth it. Let our therapists help to bring your family closer.

SONYA L ALLEN
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CCTP
Parenting children is not as easy as it looks. Children now are dealing with stressors from school, peer pressure and social media. As a parent we want to keep them safe, and we want to guide them to be the best versions of themselves. However, they can be resistant. Connecting with our children is so critical in being able to provide the needed guidance. Learning communication tools and how to set clear boundaries can be very effective in helping your child.

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.
