About

Collaborative Support Psychological Services PLLC is a private psychological practice offering accessible telehealth services with a focus on individual therapy and parenting consultation.

 Hi, I’m Dr. Aneta Kern

You might be here because you’re ready to tackle the mental health concerns that are impacting your ability to fully embrace your roles as an individual, parent, spouse, or friend. Or perhaps you’re looking for guidance to better understand your child’s brain-based and developmental needs, so you can lovingly support them in reaching their full potential.

Naturally, you might be curious about how I arrived at this point, and I'm excited to share a bit about my journey, as I truly enjoy learning about yours. With over a decade of experience in pediatric neuropsychology, I dedicated my focus to the well-being and success of children. However, I frequently observed parents who, despite their unwavering commitment to their child's best interests, struggled to prioritize their own needs and secure the support they needed to maintain a strong foundation for their child.

Navigating the unexpected challenges of my own pregnancies, the realities of the postpartum period, and the experience of becoming a mother to my wonderful son and daughter has deeply strengthened my passion for supporting parents. This unique blend of experience and expertise led me to specialize in Perinatal Mental Health so that I can walk alongside you, no matter where you are on your parenthood journey.
