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.

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.

The Becoming Therapy Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, LMFT
Parenting is one of the most meaningful and most demanding roles a person can hold. We support mothers navigating the emotional complexity of raising children at every stage, from the early overwhelm of new motherhood to the challenges of adolescence, transitions, and the identity questions that surface along the way. Therapy can help you show up more intentionally, repair when things go sideways, and care for yourself so you have something real to give.

I emphasized “ children do not come with instructions “ As parents one can use maternal instinct however,every child is different.Get well involved in all activities of children the best they can.

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.

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.

Together, we'll explore what's working, identify areas of struggle, and develop strategies to help you feel more confident, connected, and effective in your role as a parent while maintaining your own emotional well-being.

Linda Marks
Counselor/Therapist, MSM
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. Depression, anxiety, fear of intimacy, addiction, stuckness may follow. Working through emotional issues at a body level allows for deep, lasting healing

Beth Kurland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a parent of now-grown children, I understand firsthand how challenging and demanding (as well as rewarding) parenting can be. Many parents feel isolated in their struggles, but you don’t have to face them alone. In our work together, you’ll receive support every step of the way as we explore your child’s unique needs and identify strategies to nurture their growth and resilience. I focus on helping parents to find and build upon their child's strengths, fostering confidence and competence that can carry them forward . Whether your family is navigating sleep difficulties, behavioral concerns, anxiety, or other challenges, you’ll gain practical tools to help your child build a strong foundation to thrive and flourish.

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.
