Our Story
Everyday Parenting Psychology was founded in 2018 by two passionate and highly trained psychologists, Dr. Layne Raskin & Dr. Jeanette Sawyer Cohen.
While working together following graduate school, they realized they shared a deep commitment to providing expert, compassionate care to families navigating the complexities of parenting, child development, and maternal mental health. They envisioned a practice where each member of the family, from expectant mothers to school-aged children, could receive the highest standard of mental health support.
Today, Everyday Parenting has grown into a premier practice with a team of 12 experienced clinicians, serving families across New York City, Westchester County, and beyond through online therapy in states including New Jersey, Connecticut and Florida. While we’ve expanded, our core values remain unchanged:
Our commitment is to provide comprehensive, respectful, and compassionate care to families while maintaining the highest standards in the quality of our clinicians and the services we offer.
Our Mission
At Everyday Parenting, our mission is to support families at every stage of the parenting journey, from family planning through childhood and adolescence, and beyond, providing ongoing guidance and support to parents and adults as they navigate the evolving challenges of family life.
We provide expert mental health services designed to nurture emotional well-being, strengthen family bonds, and help each family member thrive. Our approach centers on the belief that family dynamics are essential to individual wellness, and we strive to create a nurturing space for parents, children, and individuals to grow and thrive.
