Navigating the Journey of Parenthood in Chandler, AZ

What is the only time that crying, screaming, sleep deprivation and dirty diapers are related to a life-changing milestone of joy? Answer: You guessed it – when you have a baby.

Every parent knows that having a baby brings a myriad of emotions, ranging from the most extreme joy, pride and elation to complete exhaustion, frustration and worry. It’s no wonder that most moms and dads of little ones have times they feel they are on physical, mental and emotional overload, especially in the first few years.

As fellow parents and mothers, Athen and Penelope have a passion for helping couples navigate the challenges and joys of parenthood and prioritize and prioritize and foster their connection as a couple as well. Individual or couples therapy may be beneficial services for you.

At Love Story Therapy, we help clients throughout the Chandler, Arizona, area learn how to navigate the complexities of being a parent.
