Danielle Parente

As a New York State Certified School Psychologist with experience in the NYC Department of Education, I have developed a strong foundation working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and communities. I recognize that each child and family brings a unique set of experiences and challenges, and I believe that understanding these differences is essential to providing meaningful and effective support.

I am committed to creating a warm, welcoming environment where individuals feel safe to share their experiences and explore their concerns. Empathy and understanding are at the heart of my practice, as I believe that genuine connection is key to fostering growth, resilience, and healing.

My approach to therapy is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy, with an emphasis on helping each client feel as though they are speaking with a trusted, supportive presence—while still benefiting from an objective, professional perspective. I strive to create a warm, open-minded environment where clients feel safe, respected, and understood.

I specialize in working with children, families, young adults, and parents, and I value collaboration with caregivers, educators, and other professionals to support each individual’s growth and well-being.

The goal of our first session is to have an open conversation about what brings you to therapy, your personal goals, current challenges, and the areas you’d like to strengthen so you can function at your fullest potential.
