Disagreements About Parenting Can Be Challenging For Both Parents And Kids. Heather and I recently hosted a discussion with parents at Portfolio School, a local independent K-5 school in Tribeca, about when parents aren’t on the same page about parenting.

What Is The Best Way To Do Family Dinnertime?: Tribeca Therapy On Family Time In The Huffington Post
In our NYC family therapy practice, we relate to the family, not just the individual relationships, as the unit that is seeking help from us. Understanding the importance of the family as a unit, there is value in gathering the family together as a whole rather than setting aside individual time with just Sally or time with Johnny. By setting aside time and space for family time, the family can…

Setting Limits With Parents
In Therapy, Setting Limits With Parents Can Be Especially Difficult. In my NYC therapy practice, setting limits with family members, especially parents, can be stressful and raise a variety of concerns.

24 Signs You’re In Bad Therapy
Bad Therapy Is Bad For Your Health. As a therapist in NYC, a city with so many therapy options, it bugs me when people are in bad therapy. My biggest concern with patients who stick with bad therapy isn’t only that bad therapy turns people off to therapy, making it less likely they’ll try again and get good help, but it also lowers their expectations. Even when they reach out, they’ve been…

Parents, Want To Build Influence With Your Kids? Try Co-Creating Rules
Parenting Therapy: Who Are You That This Child Should Listen To You And Your Rules?. When working with parents in my NYC therapy practice, I often invite them to think about the following question: Who are you that this child should listen to you? It’s not intended at all to be smug, though I respect that it can tend to come off that way. When kids are quite little, the question doesn’t matter…
