Your journey to a happier & harmonious family life starts here.

Parenting is HARD.

Every day can feel like a battle between meeting your child's needs and maintaining your own sanity.

The constant pressure to be a “perfect” parent makes the journey even more daunting than it really is.

This makes most of us think that raising kids today feels like the most difficult job in the world…

BUT it’s the most important work we do.

The good news is, parenting does NOT have to be
as hard as you think.

Think about those moments when your child looks at you with pure love, when they achieve something new, or when you share a heartfelt laugh together:

When they run to you with excitement to show something they created.
When they cuddle up with you during a bedtime story.
When they proudly accomplish a new skill or overcome a fear.
When they tell you about their day with animated enthusiasm.
When they mimic your actions, showing how much they look up to you.
When they express their unique thoughts and perspectives, making you smile.

These are the moments that make all the struggles worth it. Imagine having more of these joyful experiences, feeling confident in your parenting choices, and truly enjoying your time with your family.

With the right mindset, tools, and support, this can be your reality.

MEET THE PARENT DOCTOR

Hi, I’m Dr. Marissa Caudill, a child and adult psychiatrist with over 15 years of experience helping families just like yours.

I’m passionate about empowering parents with the knowledge, tools, and confidence they need to build strong, connected families.

Did you know that kids who report a strong connection to a trusted adult are strongly protected from the development of depression and anxiety as they grow up?

I’m committed to work with as many parents as possible to reverse this growing child mental health crisis. Who better than us, their parents, to be these trusted adults?

I get it. Parenting is tough, and I’m here to guide you through the challenges, offering practical, compassionate advice grounded in both professional expertise and real-life experience.

Together, we can create a nurturing environment where your family can thrive.

“I am a physician mom of 3 spirited boys and I wish I had taken this Dr. Caudill’s course sooner!!! Thank you, Marissa, for the positive mark you have made on my family, we are forever grateful.”

“Dr. Caudill has given me great tools to build trust with my child while working through the typical disagreements that arise while parenting. I have a deeper understanding of why a parent's own sense of inner peace and equilibrium is an essential element in helping children cope with frustration and/or disappointment. My house has definitely been more harmonious since taking the course. Many thanks to the Parent Doctor!”

I’m a fan. Dr. Caudill did a great job breaking down topics and making them simple but adding applicable strategies and interwoven tips. Her videos helped me with “momming” and staying more calm!”
