Boston, Massachusetts therapist: Valentina Verani, LMHC, licensed mental health counselor
Parenting

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.

Manhattan, New York therapist: Jason Powell, marriage and family therapist
Parenting

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.

Parenting

Larissa Crane, LICSW, RYT

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW, EMDR Certified
As a parent myself to twin 10-year-old girls, I understand the joys, challenges, and constant demands that come with raising children. Parenting can be rewarding and overwhelming at the same time, especially when your child is struggling with emotions, anxiety, behavior, school, or family changes. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space for parents to work through these challenges, strengthen their relationships with their children, and feel more confident in their parenting. My goal is to help families build connection, communication, and resilience—even during difficult seasons.

Listen to your body, follow your heart! When our hearts are wounded through trauma, neglect and deprivation, we lose touch with the heart's power.

Norfolk, Massachusetts therapist: Ellen S Leventhal, marriage and family therapist
Parenting

Ellen S Leventhal

Marriage and Family Therapist, MEd, MA, LMFT
Parenting can be satisfying and fulfilling. But it can also be difficult and time-consuming. Parents must tend to an infant or child’s daily needs. They are also responsible for helping each of their children develop life skills. These skills include daily living skills, social skills, and appropriate behaviors. Parents with more than one child must account for the personalities of each, as well.
