Single One Hour Parent Consultation

If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I the only one losing my mind right now?” — the answer is a gentle but firm: No. You're not alone. I’m Dr. Heather Wittenberg — child psychologist, Mom of 4, attachment nerd, and lifelong translator of human behavior. Because this stage of life is not for the faint of heart — and you shouldn’t have to figure it out alone. For over 25 years, I’ve worked in public service and nonprofit mental health, helping families make sense of parenting’s toughest seasons. Here’s what I’ve learned: We don’t just need support when our kids are melting down. We need it when we are. That’s why I’ve expanded my private consulting practice — a flexible, high-touch service designed to help parents (especially moms) navigate not just parenting challenges — but the personal identity shifts that come with this wild ride. Because even after the tantrums (and toilet training) are behind us, the questions don’t stop: Who am I now that I’m not constantly wiping noses or packing lunches? How do I rebuild my relationships — with my partner, my friends, my body, my work, myself? Is it just me, or is middle age a full-blown emotional identity earthquake? You're not imagining it. This is real. And you don’t have to do it alone.    This new chapter of my work is here to support parents with the real stuff: Identity shifts that come with motherhood Middle-age transitions (hello hormones, hello reinvention) Everyday parenting overwhelm And of course, all things toddler: tantrums, toilet training, and trust. This is high-touch, flexible support for: Toddler chaos (tantrums, toilet training, sleep strikes) Identity shifts in parenthood (where did you go?) Middle-age curveballs (hello hormones, hello reinvention) The constant overwhelm of raising humans -- at any age  Building trust and emotional connection in your family — at every stage The truth? Your kid doesn’t need a perfect parent. They need a steady one. A dependable one. One who feels regulated enough to show up — even when it’s hard. We all need support sometimes. Let’s find the version of you that feels most like you, again. While my specialty remains the early years (because: tiny humans are weird and I speak their language), I’m also working with Moms at every stage — because it turns out the need for support doesn’t magically disappear when diapers do. Here’s who I help: Moms of toddlers deep in the weeds of toilet training, tantrums, and trust Parents navigating school transitions, sibling stuff, peer and adjustment issues Midlife women asking, “Wait, this is it?” and craving something more Adults untangling how they were raised — while trying to raise their own kids differently Anyone needing grounded, non-judgy, emotional support in a season of transition This is consulting, not therapy — which means I can flex with your schedule, dive deep quickly, and offer experienced, strategic, supportive guidance on an as-needed basis. Want in? Here’s how it works: Private 1:1 consults via Zoom, phone, email, or text (your choice) No diagnosis, no insurance, just expert insight, straight talk, and warm support Available for parents, caregivers, and professionals seeking guidance on all things child development & family dynamics Sliding scale spots occasionally available Let’s get you feeling more steady, connected, and clear. 🪴 Book a private consult with me below. (One session can go a long way.) Because parenting didn’t come with a manual — and midlife sure didn’t either. Book your consult here. I'm looking forward to talking with you 💛
