Parent Consultation for Parents in New York
Dr. Kim Sharrott, Psy.D., M.Ed., is a New York State licensed psychologist providing confidential, self-pay parent consultation in Manhattan and online throughout New York. She draws on her background as a former teacher and in early intervention, as well as her training as a psychologist, to help parents understand and respond more effectively to their child's needs.
Who this is for
Parent consultation is a collaborative service for parents and caregivers who want to understand and respond more effectively to their child's emotional, behavioral, developmental, or social needs — and to feel more confident in their own approach. It can help if you want:
- Practical, evidence-based strategies to use at home, including Parent Management Training
- Help strengthening the parent–child relationship
- Support navigating school and support systems with confidence
- A clearer understanding of what your child needs, and what to try next
This is consultation for parents; it is not child therapy, and it does not replace an evaluation where one is needed. The complimentary consultation is the place to sort out which kind of help fits.
How consultation works here
Consultation draws on Dr. Sharrott's approach of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and a holistic mind–body perspective, applied to parenting: paying attention both to the patterns running family life now — the habits and pressures you can change — and to where those patterns came from, so the change lasts. Sessions are individualized, confidential, and paced to you.
Because this is a private-pay practice, the work is guided by what you need, not by an insurance company's rules, and information is not routinely shared with insurers.

Frequently asked questions
Is parent consultation the same as therapy for my child?
No. Parent consultation works with parents and caregivers, giving you strategies, understanding, and support for your child's emotional, behavioral, developmental, or social needs. If your child needs direct therapy or an evaluation, that can be discussed in the complimentary consultation.
What kinds of concerns can consultation help with?
Children's emotional, behavioral, developmental, and school-related challenges, and the parenting questions that come with them — including how to respond more effectively at home and how to navigate school systems.
Can I meet in person, or only online?
Both. Consultation is available in person in Manhattan and online throughout New York.
