Nadira Jackson - TherapyWithDira
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
As a parent, I understand deeply how parenting can be both rewarding and exhausting, especially when you’re balancing your own healing while raising children. In our work, we’ll explore your triggers, patterns, and hopes as a parent, so you can respond with more patience and compassion rather than reacting from stress or guilt. My goal is to help you feel grounded and confident in your role, while also nurturing yourself along the way.

Cicek Erdem
Psychologist, PhD
Parenthood often changes us in ways we do not fully anticipate. Alongside love and meaning, it can bring exhaustion, anxiety, grief, resentment, loneliness, shifting identities, and questions about how we want to parent differently than we were parented. You may feel stretched thin, overwhelmed by competing demands, or disconnected from yourself or your partner. Therapy can offer space to slow down, better understand these experiences, and navigate parenting with greater intention, compassion, and support.

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.

Jenn Coonce
Licensed Psychoanalyst, Licensed Psychoanalyst, New York State
Parenting presents many unexpected stresses and challenges, and struggles with parenting can impact your relationship, life, and even your sense of identity. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can learn how to cope with emotions and conflicts that arise as a part of parenting, and learn how you can make choices that are best for you and your children. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, you can understand yourself and your children better.

Timothy W. Logsdon
Licensed Professional Counselor, MSEd,LMHC,NCC
Kids do not come with manuals. Even more so, kids who have addictions or other heavy needs make it even more difficult and confusing to know what to do and where to turn for help. With experience with Emotionally Disturbed Youth, managing group homes, and working for the county mental health I have deep experience in helping parents to find their way. I will help you see where you may have missed some of the basics of behavioral management, where you may be communicating mixed or unintentional messages and how to guide your child (or adult child) to a better place.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Modern parenting is fraught and complicated in ways that are unprecedented. Expectations have never been higher while conflicting opinions have never been more overwhelming and easily available. Parents need support to clear out the noise and get in touch with their intuitive knowledge of their own children as well as take care of themselves to show up for their kiddos. My work with parents is practical and informative while also affirming of their own values and priorities for family life.
