Jess Benedetto, Still Mind Therapist
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, MA Mental Health Counseling & Behavioral Medicine, 200-Hour Registered Yoga Teacher
We offer support around parenting through individual, relationship, and family therapy, with some of our specialties including single-parenting, co-parenting including after divorce, LGBTQIA+-affirming parenting, stage-of-life transitions, pre- and postnatal issues, and parenting and neurodiversity.
Still Mind Therapist founder Jess Benedetto offers trauma-informed individual therapy, relationship counseling, and wellness coaching focused on how our unmet needs, misunderstood minds, and past experiences contribute to personal, relational, and physical challenges. We believe that when you have a safe, judgment-free space to cultivate a deep awareness of how and why unhealthy patterns developed, you can begin to rebuild trust in yourself and others and move toward healing and meaningful change. Still Mind is a place where your needs, goals, and vision lead the therapeutic process, and where the path to healing looks different for every person and relationship.

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.

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.

J. Rosalyn Diehl
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, LPPC, LPC
Parenting can be rewarding, but it can also feel overwhelming, exhausting, and full of self-doubt. Whether you're navigating behavioral challenges, co-parenting difficulties, family transitions, or the everyday stress of raising children, therapy can provide support and practical guidance. 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.

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.
