Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalytic Candidate
Creating a safe and engaging space for children is my passion. I specialize in working with kids of all ages: I use a combination of play therapy and psychoanalytic interventions tailored to each child's unique needs. I often have separate check-in sessions with parents throughout the course of treatment.
Play therapy allows children to express themselves freely through toys, games, and creative activities. This playful approach helps us uncover and address underlying emotional concerns in a way that feels comfortable and natural for them.

S. Abigail McCarrel : Welcome Home Family Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, DCSW
I have been working with children and adolescents for over thirty years. In that time, I have evolved in my practice to work only with children and young adolescents in the context of family therapy. Since I am a family therapist, I see the family as a system with the parents at the top of the hierarchy. They are the leaders and the ones with the power and authority in the family. So, to help the complex and challenging kiddos in my practice, I provide a combination of parent and family therapy. I work intensely with parents to understand their children and see beyond the behaviors. As the parents begin to change, so does the child and the family as a whole.

Teresa Rimmer
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Child rearing is a difficult time and children/teens often cannot open up to their parents. Therapy is a safe place for adolescents to get appropriate and safe guidance. Play therapy is also very useful for younger children in helping them identify emotions and mimic good behavior.

Stella Zweben Samuel, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My majority of my clinical experience and practice is working with adolescents, young adults and college students. I love working with adolescents as they have a unique and creative perspective on life and what they are struggling about. Adolescents often do not feel heard or seen and my work includes understanding of what they are trying to express to those within their life. Much of my clinical work allows for adolescents to gain some understanding of their situation and how to communicate with their parents and those within their circle of support.

Healing and Empowerment Counseling Center
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Teri Dunbar, LCSW
Are you a parent of a child that has experienced trauma and don’t want that experience to dictate the course of their life?
I help adolescents, young adults, and adults that have experienced trauma and are experiencing feelings of shame, anger, detachment, anxiety, and depression, and having a difficult time in their relationships, work, and day to day life. I help them to overcome and cope with such feelings, and empower them to have the life they want through healing from their past traumas.
I specialize in working with individuals that have experienced stressful or dangerous events such as child abuse, domestic violence, the loss of a parent, parents that have struggled with substance abuse or mental illness, or just multiple bad days strung together.
It can be hard to know where to start and almost impossible to start alone. I would love to help guide you through this process. I am only offering virtual therapy at this time. Please send me an email and I follow-up with a phone call to discuss how I may be able to help.
