WENDY PARSON, Ph.D.
CLINICAL DIRECTOR & Concierge Academic Coach

With over 35 years of distinguished experience, Dr. Wendy Parson has earned an esteemed reputation as a visionary clinician, educator, and coach. Recognized for her "phenomenal" grasp of clinical application and a warm, personable demeanor, she balances high-level professional insight with a good-humored approach that leaves clients and students feeling empowered, purposeful, and optimistic.

Elite Academic Coaching & Testing Expertise

Beyond her clinical practice, Dr. Parson is a highly sought-after academic testing coach, renowned for her ability to help students and professionals conquer high-stakes examinations. Her specialized coaching spans:

  • Professional Licensure: Expert preparation for the EPPP (Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology), as well as clinical boards for LMFT, LCSW, LSW, and other mental health credentials.

  • University Admissions: Strategic coaching for the SAT and various college-level entrance exams.

  • The "Scholar-Coach" Edge: As an Adjunct Professor of Psychology, currently teaching at SUNY Old Westbury in New York, Dr. Parsons brings an educator’s precision to her coaching, ensuring her students don't just pass—they master the material.

Global Experience & The Entertainment Industry

Dr. Parson provides elite Wellness Counseling for the entertainment industry, supporting film projects across New York and internationally. In this role, she coaches actors through the emotional rigors of intense scenes, helping them restore balance after deep psychological work. She also serves as a critical resource for crisis intervention, managing disruptions for onset staff and touring public figures.

Scholarly Depth & Transpersonal Insight

Driven by an "unquenchable curiosity" regarding existence and meaning, Dr. Parson lived and worked in the Middle East, including Dubai, UAE. This search led her to earn a Ph.D. in Transpersonal Psychology, where she explores the profound impact of spirituality on mental health. Her background is further enriched by:

  • Elite Mentorship: Training under Dr. Jack Granofsky (a student of Carl Jung) and His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

  • Holistic Integration: Extensive study in World Religions and international teaching experience, allowing her to bridge secular and non-secular interventions.

A Career of Inclusivity & Evolution

Dr. Parson's career began in Industrial Psychology before transitioning into private practice as a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT). Her clinical foundation in stress, anxiety, and narrative therapy inspired her shift toward a more directive, concierge coaching style. Today, she creates proactive wellness plans rooted in a career-long commitment to gender and cultural inclusivity—pioneering diverse interventions long before they became industry standards.

With dedication, our team of expert therapists, counselors, transpersonal coaches, hypnotherapists, and spiritual advisors provides compassionate support, fostering emotional harmony, clarity, and confidence.
