Expired Reframing Gentle Parenting: Practical Tools for Positive Discipline that Contribute to Healthy Relationships with Children and Teens

Barbara E. Neal, M.Ed, LMFT is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), faculty at Ackerman Institute for the Family, and Founder & CEO of Therapy For Black Moms, a teletherapy practice in New Jersey dedicated to supporting the mental and relational health of Black Mothers and their families from pregnancy to empty nest and everything in between. This includes working with Black mothers to empower them as individuals, mothers, and partners as they navigate parenthood, career, and relationships and supporting them as they work through and heal from racial trauma, traumatic birthing experiences, depression, anxiety, and a variety of other mental and relational health concerns.

Barbara is also committed to supporting Black mothers and their families in gaining access to high quality, culturally responsive therapy even when finances are a barrier. She does this by seeking out donors and partnerships to support Black moms in a variety of ways including free sessions to get them started, gap funding for sessions when needed to continue therapy, and other therapeutic resources like books, journals, etc. to support them on their journey of healing growth, and renewal.
