Ms Teodora Pavkovic

Psychologist

A strengths-focused psychologist and parenting coach with an international background, focused on parenting in the age of technology.

About Me

When navigating parenting in the digital age feels overwhelming, I offer strengths-focused support. As a psychologist and parenting coach with an international background, I help families build resilience. We work together to develop practical strategies for screen time, online safety, and healthy tech habits. This approach suits parents seeking clear, actionable ways to foster strong connections amidst digital challenges.

Approach

Supporting families across cultures and technology-rich lives, I guide sessions that turn concerns about devices and behaviour into small, doable steps rooted in your values. In-person in New York or online, I work in English and Serbian, keeping sessions paced, practical and collaborative—short experiments, clear agendas and gentle tracking between meetings so progress stays visible. I also use brief, evidence-informed measures when clarity is needed to tailor plans. Parents and adolescents who want steady, practical change tend to find this approach helpful.
