Welcome! Narcissistic parenting (or partner) recovery can be scary and overwhelming. Battling the shame that keeps us stuck in our assigned role and conditioning. Maybe you experience more empathy for others than yourself. Maybe you struggle with feeling angry or setting boundaries. Or maybe you feel guilty or apologize frequently for being yourself. Maybe you have a relentless inner critic that doesn't let you experience a quiet, peaceful mind. Maybe you feel dissociated from yourself or your environment. Maybe you don't know how you feel or trust your emotions. Maybe you fear making mistakes around others.

We understand that becoming a new parent, whether a mom or a dad, can bring about a range of emotions and challenges, including the prominence of anxiety during pregnancy or postpartum. It's important to recognize that mental health is crucial for new moms and dads, and seeking support is a brave and necessary step toward finding balance and regaining confidence. Parenthood is a transformative experience that sometimes leaves you feeling disconnected from your pre-parenting self.

I have had success treating the middle aged female, 40-60, with relational, launching, re-entry and life change issues. I also integrate biofeedback of various types into the treatment program in order to either avoid or minimize medication interventions, when appropriate. I search diligently the patient's medical history and symptoms, and work with local medical providers, to rule out general medical conditons that may be driving psychological symptoms, e.g. hypothyroid and depression, or adrenal issues and anxiety or depression. Anxiety can be treated with biofeedback interventions and I provide in-office treatment and take home devices.

You are thinking about your situation and cannot seem to make sense of it. You keep repeating the same train of thought, but you continue to be stuck in a rut. You want to change the way you see your situation; you are sure there is something you are missing, but you just can’t put your finger on it. You’ve talked to friends and family about what is going on, and you have been in therapy before, but you still can’t get past what is bothering you.

Marriage Counseling Therapists

How does marriage counseling work?

Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.

How long does marriage counseling typically last?

Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.

Is marriage counseling effective?

Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.

Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?

Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
