New Path Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor
Our therapists provide support to parents navigating the joys and challenges of raising children. Whether you're facing challenges with behavior management, communication, discipline, or balancing the demands of family life, we offer practical tools and emotional support to help you thrive in your role as a parent. We work with parents to build stronger connections with their children, foster emotional resilience, and create a positive, supportive family dynamic. Through evidence-based techniques such as parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT), mindfulness, and positive discipline strategies, we guide parents in developing a deeper understanding of their child's needs, while also nurturing their own well-being. Our goal is to empower parents to feel confident in their parenting approach, strengthen family relationships, and create a loving, balanced home environment.

Dr. Ylenia Martinez
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD
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.

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
One of the most important aspects of our work is affecting future generations. A couple’s ability to work well together directly touches their children in a profound way. After even a few months of work together we see couples feeling relief in their parenting together, their children feeling better because they feel better, and the whole family system living harmoniously together. Not only do we help couples develop intimacy, better understand one another, and breathe air and life into their relationship, but we facilitate this in their parenting styles as well.
And parenting is not for the faint of heart! We understand that the well-being of your children is unspeakably important to you and we’re also able to help you through developmental milestones, better understanding how to handle the inevitable rough spots presented to you as they grow.
If you’re in the process of divorcing, co-parenting can be one of the largest challenges. Your children give you the noblest reason to work on issues with your ex. Divorce doesn’t have to be traumatic for your kids, even if it has been for you and your partner. There are definite and concrete ways to support and guide your children through this difficult season. Being supported by a therapist can also provide a venue to safely air grievances and suss them out without fear that your fight will spill over into your parenting or ruin your week. Separation and divorce has no end to frustrations and hurts, even without children in the mix. Add your kids and it becomes almost unbearably heartbreaking and complex. We will help you navigate these rough waters for as long as you might need.

Together, we’ll explore patterns, expectations, and emotional responses, helping you respond more thoughtfully and build a relationship with your child that feels more connected and sustainable.
