Mary Mesiha
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
Parenting brings both joy and challenge, and every stage comes with its own unique struggles (especially those teen years!). I understand the ups and downs of raising children and the emotional weight that can come with wanting to do it “right.” Whether you’re navigating communication, setting boundaries, or supporting your child through change, I offer a supportive space to help you find balance, strengthen connection, and parent with confidence and compassion.

Valentina Verani, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Parenting is one of life's most meaningful—and most demanding—roles. While I don't claim to have all the answers or offer a list of parenting "rules," I do understand the emotional complexity of trying to care for everyone else without losing yourself in the process. As both a therapist and a parent, I recognize how easy it is to place your own needs, identity, and dreams on hold.
Our work isn't about becoming the person you were before children. It's about embracing the person you're becoming. Together, we'll explore how to navigate the responsibilities of parenthood while reconnecting with the parts of yourself that made you feel alive, authentic, and whole. You don't have to choose between being a devoted parent and honoring your own identity. The goal is to help you step into this season of life with greater confidence, balance, and self-compassion—without abandoning the person you've worked so hard to become.

Marc Feinberg
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, CBC
“You won’t always get it right, but you’ll always have the chance to make it right. Parenting isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence. It’s the daily act of showing up with love, patience, and grace, even when you’re exhausted or unsure. Every moment you choose connection over correction, you’re building something sacred: trust and unconditional love.”
