Dear Media

Aliza Pressman

As a parent, do you ever wish someone could just whisper some realistic and trustworthy support in your ear? And not make you feel awful for not having all the answers? Well, that’s what I’m here for. 

I'm Dr. Aliza Pressman, developmental psychologist, parent educator, asst. clinical professor, and co-founder of both Mount Sinai Parenting Center and SeedlingsGroup. And I'm a mom... trying to raise two good humans myself, so I'm in this with you!
 
In each episode, we'll go deep (but brief) with both experts and parents to share the most effective approaches and tools and talk about the important bigger picture of raising good humans. My goal is to make your parenting journey less overwhelming and a lot more joyful! 

Please join me every Friday for new episodes of Raising Good Humans.

Raising Good Humans

Join us in an enlightening conversation with Dr. Jaffe, a board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist at Mount Sinai Hospital. Dr. Jaffe discusses the complexities of diagnosing and treating ADHD and anxiety in children, the importance of parental intuition, and when to seek professional help. He also addresses medication and when and why medication may be the best option. We also discuss the impact of environmental and genetic factors, and strategies for fostering resilience and healthy habits.
