New York City, New York therapist: Kate E. Stephenson, life coach
Parenting

Kate E. Stephenson

Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
The pressure to be the perfect parent and professional is immense and intense. Our culture covets the perfect life and cultivates a narrative that you can have it all if you just try hard enough. In my most professional capacity, I call NONSENSE on that (insert more forceful word if you'd like). Holistic Life Coaching can be a powerful experience in which we examine, explore, and elevate your own definition of successful parenting, empowering your parental presence according to YOUR values, character, and strengths. I am NOT offering therapy—I leave the work of diagnosis and treatment of medical issues to medical professionals. However, coaching can absolutely complement and supplement any therapy work you are doing; our work together will be therapeutic without being therapy. I offer tools that can increase ease, support the maintenance of positive healthy boundaries, increase satisfaction in your life, improve communication and connection with your children, and so much more. Let's talk about what being a parent means to you.

Manhattan, New York therapist: Jason Powell, marriage and family therapist
Parenting

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.

Los Angeles, California therapist: Sara Fraser, psychologist
Parenting

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.

Parenting

Jazmin Melendez

Pre-Licensed Professional, LMSW
Parenting can bring love and connection alongside stress, uncertainty, and questions about whether you’re getting it “right.” Drawing from my experience working with children and families, I help parents better understand their child’s needs, strengthen communication and connection, navigate challenging behaviors, and explore family patterns. Together, we’ll identify approaches that support both your child’s well-being and your confidence as a parent.

Brooklyn, New York therapist: Cicek Erdem, psychologist
Parenting

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.
