Honoring the journey before the destination.

In the quiet space before the “after,” there’s room to heal what’s been carried, reflect on what matters, and prepare for the connection you want to create. Here, your journey is seen, held, and honored.

Offerings

  • A space just for you to reflect, process, and heal. Together, we’ll explore how your own experiences shape your parenting, address patterns you don’t want to pass on, and strengthen your capacity for connection and resilience.

  • Therapy that supports the bond between you and your child from the very start. We’ll focus on creating safety, understanding, and emotional attunement — helping both of you feel seen, secure, and connected. Can include more than one caregiver.

  • A collaborative space for professionals working with parents and young children to slow down, think deeply, and explore the impact of the work. Together, we’ll honor the emotional complexity of your role while strengthening your capacity to support families.

““Parenting is the greatest act of love, but it’s also the most radical form of healing, for both parents and children."

About Christie

I’m Christie Spudowski, LMSW, IMH-E — a psychotherapist and consultant specializing in the early years of parenting. My work is grounded in the belief that how we show up for our children begins with how we care for ourselves.

With advanced training in Infant Mental Health, attachment-based therapy, and trauma-focused care, I help parents and parents-to-be navigate the tender space between their own history and their hopes for their family. Whether we’re exploring the impact of your upbringing, addressing patterns you don’t want to pass on, or supporting the bond between you and your child, my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and deeply supported.

I know the parenting journey can be both beautiful and overwhelming — especially when it stirs up old wounds. Together, we can tend to those parts of your story, so you can step into parenthood with clarity, confidence, and connection.
