MEET DR MERCEDES
Psychologist, Mom and Wife
Hi, I'm Dr. Mercedes Oromendia.
As a clinical psychologist, I’ve helped all types of couples navigate life’s biggest transitions. But when I became a mother, theory met reality. I found myself in the famous “postpartum trenches”—exhausted, overwhelmed, and managing a sudden, quiet tension in my marriage.
I built Parenting Partners, a 4-hour, evidence-based system using the latest research, to help modern couples protect against "roommate syndrome," align their family vision, and parent as a team.
PhD in Psychology: Specialized post-doctoral focus in child attachment, family dynamics, and Gottman Method couples therapy.
Former Chief Clinical Officer: Directed and scaled a clinical team of 50+ therapists at a high-growth startup.
Over a Decade of Clinical Practice: Built and tested proven frameworks across 1,000+ clinical cases and 400+ families.
Trillingual & Bicultural: Bringing inclusive, cross-cultural nuance to modern family systems.
Let’s connect!
THE PROOF
Tested by Real Parents
-
Supported and Connected
"It helped my husband understand exactly how to support me, but it also validated his role so he didn’t feel pushed to the side. It reminded us that when we are connected and supporting each other, our baby benefits too."
— CLAUDIA E., NEW MOM
-
Conversations We Needed
"This course sparked conversations we never would have thought to have otherwise. It gave us the tools to actually prepare for this next chapter as a couple, not just as parents."
— KARLA S., EXPECTING MOM
-
Confidence and Clarity
"Dr. Mercedes gave us the clarity, tools, and confidence we couldn't find anywhere else on the internet to navigate the wild newborn world. I am so relieved."
— KIM R., MOM OF AN 11-MONTH-OLD
-
Broke Old Patterns
"I can now pinpoint exactly when my own historical triggers are impacting my marriage, and how that trickles down to our child. We were able to remove inherited parenting patterns and keep the positive ones. A total game-changer.”
— ANA F. & RENALDO S., PARENTS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything You Need to Know Before Starting
-
You definitely don't need hours of free time. I built Parenting Partners specifically for exhausted, busy expecting parents. The videos take just 15 to 20 minutes a week. Think of it this way: spending a few minutes a week right now to get on the same page will save you countless hours of miscommunication, frustration, and 3 AM friction once the baby arrives.
-
Absolutely. This isn’t a forced therapy session or a heavy lecture. It is totally flexible. You can watch the short videos together on the couch, or one of you can take the lead and simply bring the conversation prompts to dinner. You will still see a beautiful shift in how you work together as a team, even if only one of you is actually logging into the course.
-
Parenting Partners is an educational program, not couples therapy. As a clinical psychologist, I designed this to protect your connection before the intense stress of a newborn tests it, whereas therapy is often used to repair things later on. If you are currently experiencing severe relationship distress, I definitely recommend seeking a licensed therapist. But if you want practical tools to stay connected, share the invisible load, and break old habits, this is exactly where you belong.
-
It is absolutely not too late. In fact, you're in the season where you need this support the most. When you are in the thick of the newborn phase and running on zero sleep, you don't need more parenting theories—you need practical relief. You can skip the prep work and jump straight into the sections on dividing the invisible load, recognizing what your partner actually needs, and handling conflict when you're both exhausted. It’s designed to help you catch your breath and feel like a team again, exactly when you need it most.
-
Yes! Titles and traditional roles do not matter here. If you are building a life and raising a child together, this system is for you.
