Meet Dr. Coor
Hi, I’m Dr. Nanika Coor.
I’m a clinical psychologist, respectful parenting therapist, and mindful parenting enthusiast. I help parents who want to parent in a respectful way but feel held back by their histories with their own parents and caregivers.
The parents I work with often find themselves on auto-pilot, acting toward their children in ways that go against their values and their desires to parent differently than they were parented themselves.
Why do I do this work?
Hey, I’ve been there! Changing your old wiring is no easy task. It takes intention and
comprehensive self-examination to really understand why it’s so hard for you to tolerate
your child’s resistance, intense emotions, or their particular way of being in the world.
Experience
As a therapist for children I worked closely with parents and caregivers. I noticed how much my young clients’ progress in therapy was related to the quality of the relationship with their parents.

THERAPY
Start hearing a kinder inner voice and experiencing more
mutually respectful interactions with your kids –
without feeling like a dictator or a doormat.
What do you need?
Remember
You remember how bad it felt to be
controlled and judged by adults, when
what you really wanted was to feel
accepted and understood.
Set Boundaries
Your parents were so permissive that you
grew up with no boundaries at all. You
want to parent with more structure, but
you worry about being too strict.
Break Cycles
You want to break the cycle of verbal and
physical abuse from your own childhood,
but it’s a daily struggle not to get
triggered by your kid’s behavior.
Get Respect
You want your kids to respect you, not fear
you. But how do you get there?
Mindfully Parent
You find yourself parenting from a place of
anger — explosive and reactive. You just
don’t understand how respectful/mindful
parenting ‘works’ or how to ‘do’ it.

“You don’t need judgements. You need help navigating the ways that the unfinished business from your childhood plays out in your parenting.”
Dr. Nanika Coor
Consulting
Consulting sessions are not therapy. Instead, the consulting process involves as-needed single sessions or a series of sessions in which I offer guidance and support to parents, professionals and organizations for specific issues related to parenting or working with children.
We will explore strategies to help you manage specific issues, and you can return periodically for follow-up sessions to check in about your progress and challenges, and we can adapt our plan as necessary.
