Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Parenting is often talked about in simplified ways—but in reality, it’s layered, demanding, and constantly evolving. Whether you’re parenting on your own, co-parenting, or parenting within a partnership, it can bring up questions about how you show up, what your child needs, and how to stay grounded in the middle of everything else you’re carrying. Cultural expectations around parenting can add even more pressure—what it should look like, how children should behave, and what it means to be a “good” parent—often without accounting for the realities families are actually living in.
For those navigating co-parenting, the dynamics can be especially complex. Some families operate collaboratively, leaning on each other for shared support and consistency. Others are navigating more strained dynamics, including parallel parenting—where parents function separately with limited coordination. While this can sometimes reduce direct conflict, it often requires ongoing adjustment, especially for children moving between environments, and can leave parents carrying more of the logistical and emotional load.
At Nour Counseling, we support parents in building approaches that feel grounded, intentional, and sustainable. We offer psychoeducation on attachment, child development, and relational dynamics so you can better understand what’s happening beneath behaviors—both your child’s and your own. We also work with you on communication, boundaries, emotional regulation, and creating structures that actually fit your family system. This is not about perfection—it’s about helping you parent in a way that feels more aligned, more supported, and more connected to both your child and yourself.

Kenny Levine
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Navigating co-parenting amidst challenging circumstances requires specialized support and guidance. As a co-parenting therapist with expertise in mediation, conflict resolution, communication skills training, and child development, I am here to help. My goal is to empower co-parents to prioritize their children's well-being while addressing the difficulties of high-conflict divorce.
In a safe, nonjudgmental space, I facilitate open dialogue and constructive problem-solving, helping co-parents find common ground and implement effective communication strategies. I equip you with tools to manage emotions, set healthy boundaries, and navigate co-parenting challenges with resilience and grace.
Together, we can establish a collaborative co-parenting relationship, promoting stability and emotional security for your children amidst the turmoil of divorce. Let’s work together to create a positive co-parenting environment for your family.

James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
I participated in raising my own 3 children, and I have helped countless other parents to raise theirs. I try to come to a quick, adequate understanding of the unconscious patterns in parents that lead them to evoke frustrating, unhappy patterns of interaction with children, and work with them to develop alternatives that work more happily for all parties. When a child is so disabled for whatever reason, as to present pressing, unusual challenges for a parent, I try to play the role of an inventive resource for creating better strategies for dealing whatever those challenges are. Raising children is an infinitely complex arena which can bring out all of life's challenges along with its deepest pleasures. I try to use my permission to take part in the family's life to move things in the direction of less conflict and frustration and more mutual growth and interest.

Kamini Wood
Life Coach, FHH, CLC, CPM
Parenting doesn't come with a manual, and every child is different. When communication breaks down, emotions run high, or family dynamics become challenging, it's easy to question whether you're doing enough or getting it right.
My approach helps parents move beyond simply managing behaviors to understanding what those behaviors may be communicating. Together, we'll strengthen communication, build emotional safety, navigate conflict with greater confidence, and develop practical tools that support both your child's growth and your own. When parents better understand themselves, they are often better able to understand and connect with their children.
