Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
Parenting is not for the faint of heart. In my work with parents, I focus on providing a warm, supportive, and collaborative environment to help them navigate the challenges of parenting in today’s world. I understand that parents face unique pressures and that children and adolescents today encounter complex issues, from social media influences to academic stress. I work closely with parents to use their creativity and imagination in finding engaging and meaningful ways to connect with and support their children. Whether it’s developing more engaging and impactful communication strategies or creating special bonding activities, I help parents explore approaches that resonate with their children and foster positive relationships. Additionally, I assist parents in addressing and healing their own childhood wounds, which can sometimes impact their parenting responses. By working through these personal challenges, parents can approach their roles with greater clarity and empathy, ultimately enhancing their ability to nurture and guide their children more successfully across each unique developmental stage.

Debra Zand
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Parenting therapy helps parents identify, address, and manage their own past or present experiences that may be affecting the way they relate to their child. In some cases, parenting therapy may also help parents better communicate between each other to maintain a cohesive and structured parenting approach. Parenting therapy provides a judgement-free zone for parents to discuss tough moments in parenting and learn how to better manage these tough moments moving forward. Overall, parenting therapy aims to provide parents with the necessary knowledge, tools, guidance, and support to take care of themselves and their children in the most ideal way possible.

Lee Chase
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As parents of adult children, there are times when we struggle in our relationships with them. There may be sustained conflict, and ingrained patterns of relating that have thwarted your ability to enjoy each other. We will review these patterns of communication, conflict, and discuss new ways of approaching your interactions with your adult children in order to have a more meaningful relationship with them.

Dr. Ashley Gulden
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Parenting can be incredibly challenging, especially without a manual and with constantly changing research on effective strategies. The pressure to be a "pinterest parent" can add to the overwhelm. If you often find yourself thinking, "I'm failing my kids," or "I'm not doing enough," let's work together to shift those negative narratives. We can focus on fostering a deeper connection with yourself and your children, explore evidence-based parenting skills, and examine the beliefs and thoughts that influence your responses as a parent. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone—let's work through it together.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
I work with adults navigating the emotional and psychological demands of parenting, including those parenting alone or alongside other significant pressures. Parenting often brings long-standing patterns into sharper focus, affecting identity, relationships, boundaries, and how people respond under stress.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore how parenting experiences interact with internal expectations, responsibilities, and emotional load. Rather than focusing on parenting techniques, sessions centre on understanding how you are impacted by the role and how different parts of you respond to it. We may work through conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most useful.

Dr. Meghan Miller
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Parenting is rewarding, but it can also bring emotional overload, guilt, and the sense of never doing enough. I help parents manage this invisible mental load by using mindfulness-based strategies, emotion regulation skills, and relational interventions to support healthier family dynamics. Together, we’ll work on building self-compassion, setting effective boundaries, and practicing coping techniques that allow you to feel more grounded and present. Therapy is not about perfect parenting - it’s about strengthening resilience and finding joy in the moments that matter most.

Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Parenting is both deeply rewarding and incredibly challenging. Even the most loving parents can feel overwhelmed, unsure, or discouraged when their child’s needs or behaviors seem difficult to manage. I specialize in helping parents understand the “why” behind their child’s emotions and behaviors, develop effective communication and discipline strategies, and restore a sense of confidence and calm within the family.
My work with parents often focuses on navigating developmental changes, improving parent–child relationships, and managing challenges such as anxiety, defiance, emotional regulation difficulties, and family transitions. For parents raising children with unique emotional or behavioral needs, therapy offers tools for setting appropriate limits while maintaining empathy and connection.
When co-parenting after divorce or separation, I provide structured support to help parents maintain consistency, reduce conflict, and protect children from adult stressors. I also assist foster, adoptive, and blended families as they navigate attachment and identity issues that can surface throughout a child’s development.
Grounded in cognitive-behavioral and family systems approaches, sessions focus on increasing emotional awareness, enhancing communication, and promoting a calmer, more connected family environment. My goal is to help parents feel equipped, supported, and empowered to raise resilient, emotionally secure children—while also caring for themselves in the process.

Beth Clardy Lewis
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-S
Parenting brings equal parts love, overwhelm, and constant decision-making. I help parents navigate behavioral challenges, emotional regulation, boundaries, and the shifting identity that comes with raising humans. With a blend of clinical insight and practical tools, and as a parent myself, I support you in becoming a more grounded, confident parent. Together we build strategies that work in real life — not just in theory.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Parenting - "All joy and no fun" is a quote I hear often and it resonates. It has been a great joy and the hardest job. It's hard to know if we are "doing it right" and "I don't want to screw up my kid" are the most common things my clients tell me. Let's talk about your parenting values and how this aligns with your parenting reality to learn some ways to increase your confidence.

Parenting
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with parents who feel stretched thin by what parenting is asking of them. This may be because your child is neurodivergent, has medical needs, has been through a frightening or overwhelming experience, or because this stage of parenting is simply more intense than you expected. Parents I see often describe feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or on edge much of the time; not knowing how to respond to big emotions, shutdown, or challenging behaviors; worrying about a child’s ADHD, learning needs, or mental health; grieving that family life looks different from what they imagined; feeling tension with a partner or co‑parent about parenting styles, division of labor, or how to support a child; and feeling lonely or unseen in their role, even when they are doing everything they can and know to do.
I work with parents individually, and with couples who want support around how parenting is affecting their relationship. In our work together, there is room for the full range of your experience: love, worry, anger, guilt, and everything in between. We look for ways of relating to your child, and to each other, that feel more grounded, sustainable, and aligned with what matters most to you. I also work with parents who are navigating parenting while healing from their own past experiences, including trauma, complicated family histories, or critical inner voices.

Susan Lobosco Benner

Jason Powell
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CST
Parenting can reveal the best and hardest parts of ourselves. The same patterns that shape our adult relationships — conflict, distance, sensitivity, avoidance - often surface in how we relate to our children. Therapy provides space to explore those dynamics with compassion and intention, helping you parent from a place of steadiness rather than reactivity. My approach integrates attachment theory and emotionally focused principles, guiding parents toward deeper understanding of their own triggers, values, and needs. Whether you’re navigating co-parenting after infidelity or divorce, struggling with communication at home, or feeling disconnected from your child, the goal is to restore connection and repair - not perfection, but presence. Sessions are available online through HIPAA-compliant Zoom across twelve licensed states, and in person at 220 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

Shoreline Psychological
Psychologist, Psy.D.
We understand that parenting effectively does not necessarily come naturally to all. We work closely with parents who have a child being treated in our practice or are coming in on their own to hone their skills as parents, leading to supporting a child and family's growth, development and connectedness.

Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Parenting is one of the most rewarding yet emotionally demanding roles a person can take on. No matter how much you love your child, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or even exhausted by the weight of responsibility. Maybe you struggle with patience, feel guilt over not being the "perfect" parent, or second-guess your decisions. Perhaps you're navigating a tough stage—tantrums, teenage rebellion, or parenting through big life transitions—and you just want to feel more confident in how you show up for your child.
The truth is, there is no perfect way to parent—only a way that works best for you and your family. Together, we will explore the challenges you’re facing, strengthen your ability to set boundaries with love, and help you trust your instincts as a parent. You don’t have to do this alone. With support, self-compassion, and the right tools, parenting can feel less overwhelming and more aligned with the kind of connection and guidance you want to provide for your child.
