Hey, I'm Dr. Royster

I'm a mom of 2 and have been a Clinical Child Psychologist for more than 7 years (and before that a Counselor for 5!). I run Little House Psychology, my therapy practice and am the CEO of Learn with Little House.

As an early childhood specialist, I have quickly learned there's no way I can help all the parents and kids going through hard divorces if I work on 1:1 with them. This really bugged me and I went on a mission to change it. And I did!

Welcome to Learn with Little House designed with parents, for parents, and ultimately to help kids who are going through divorces, uncouplings, separations, and everything after that.

Bachelors, Masters, Doctorate, and Post-Doc Educated, Faculty and Supervisor (in other words, lives and breathes this stuff).

Frequent teacher and consultant on high conflict dynamics and parents and the impact on kids.

Years of experience watching parents battle it out in court and kids suffer.
