Westfield, New Jersey therapist: Insight Psychological Group, psychologist
Parenting

Insight Psychological Group

Psychologist, Psy.D.s, LCSWs, LPCs, LCADCs...
Dealing with difficult children and teens is not something we sign up for when first imagining ourselves as parents. Most parents are not adequately prepared for the excruciating full-time job of raising children, and the honest parent knows this. Guided by research, evidence based practice, and wisdom, our practitioners will help craft new ways of regaining control in one's family, and in the process create a much more healthy environment for one's children to grow and develop.

Psychologist, ABPP, A-CBT
Parenting is the hardest job with the least amount of training. At The CBT Center, we help parents navigate everything from toddler tantrums to teenage eye rolls, along with the anxiety, guilt, and self-doubt that tend to come with the territory. We use evidence-based approaches to help parents build skills, improve relationships with their kids, and go a little easier on themselves in the process.

Voorhees, New Jersey therapist: Libby Shaw, counselor/therapist
Parenting

Libby Shaw

Counselor/Therapist, LPC, ATR-BC, LPAT, ACS
Parenting is hard. Regardless of how old your kid is, it is hard. The actuals ins-and-outs of parenting is hard, but becoming a parent can bring about a flood of emotions, insecurities, fears, anxieties, and memories from your own past. Having a space to process these feelings, while also figuring out how to feel like a fulfilled and authentic parent, is important.

Millburn, New Jersey therapist: Meghan McGinn, psychologist
Parenting

Meghan McGinn

Psychologist, PhD
Sure, you and your partner knew parenting would have its challenges, but you were not quite prepared for how much of your energy it would take and how little you would have left for each other. Your relationship feels rocky in ways you never imagined, you are tired and overstimulated, and the additional mental load (do their clothes still fit? did I fill out that form? which brand of toasted oat cereal will they actually eat?) is soul-crushing. You may feel hesitant to add something else to your to do list, but couple therapy could be a key component of what pulls you out of that state of burnout. You need an experienced couple therapist to help you to feel heard and understood by your partner, to break out of unhelpful communication patterns, and to reclaim some of your time for your needs as an individual and as a couple.

Jersey City, New Jersey therapist: Ylenia Martinez, counselor/therapist
Parenting

Ylenia Martinez

Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Parenting often brings up your own history, triggers, and fears about “getting it wrong.” I help parents understand their child’s behavior through a nervous‑system and attachment lens, respond with more regulation and consistency, and parent in ways that align with your values rather than just repeating old patterns.

New York City, New York therapist: Marina Goldenberg, licensed mental health counselor
Parenting

Marina Goldenberg

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC
Many parents would agree that though they read the books, and took the classes, and maybe even spent time taking care of children before having their own, they still felt unprepared for parenthood. There are as many reasons why as there are parents, but at the end of the day, it's impossible to be completely prepared for parenting because you just don't know what you don't know. And when you do know it, you still may not know how to make that knowledge work. Parenting, even at the best of times, can be exhausting and stressful, but add on all the other things that complicate our lives - careers, money worries, romantic, platonic and family relationships, other people's expectations and judgments, the lack of support, single parenthood, you name it - and things get harder and harder. And what if your child has special or different needs? It's not easy being a kid, and watching your kid struggle, either with health issues, or mental health, or academics or peer relationships, or literally any of the countless other things that kids have to navigate, can feel like an impossible task. And on top of that you're somehow supposed to take care of yourself and pay the bills? Well look, I can't take those stressors away, but I can help you figure out how to navigate the (maybe literal, maybe figurative) sh!tstorm that is modern parenting, take gentler care of yourself and cultivate a life that honors your values and your hopes and wishes for yourself, your family and your child.
