Child or Adolescent Issues
Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Adolescence is a time of very real physical and emotional changes, and certainly during this pandemic, there is greater concern for screen time, isolation, and education. Boundaries, skill sets, and emotional expression work does improve anxiety and can help teens grow in other ways.

Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Our therapeutic services are designed to address the unique challenges faced by children and adolescents as they navigate through pivotal stages of development. Appreciating the complexities of youth experiences, from the pressures of academic performance to social integration and identity formation, we provide a nurturing environment that fosters growth, self-understanding, and resilience.
Tailored Support for Young Individuals
* Developmentally Appropriate Therapy: Our therapeutic approaches are specifically chosen to match the developmental stage of the child or adolescent. This can include play therapy for younger children, which allows them to express themselves in a language they know best—play.
* Family Involvement: Recognizing the importance of the family system, we encourage family involvement in the therapeutic process when it's beneficial. This can help ensure that the home environment supports the child’s therapeutic goals.
* Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): For older children and adolescents, CBT can be effective in addressing thought patterns and behaviors linked to their challenges, helping modify their responses to various situations.
* Skills Building: We focus on developing key life skills, like effective communication, problem-solving, emotion regulation, and social skills, which can empower children and adolescents to overcome personal obstacles and interact more confidently with their peers.
* Self-Esteem Enhancement: We work to strengthen a young person's sense of self-worth, highlighting their strengths, and encouraging positive self-expression.
Goals of Therapy for Child or Adolescent Issues
With a compassionate and holistic approach, our therapy aims to help young people:
* Navigate Emotional Challenges: Equip children and adolescents with tools to process and articulate their emotions to cope with challenges in a healthy manner.
* Improve Behavioral Outcomes: Address behavioral issues by identifying their root causes and fostering positive change.
* Boost Social Skills: Encourage the development of social skills that can improve interactions with peers and family members.
* Strengthen Family Relationships: Work towards creating a supportive family environment where each member understands and respects one another's needs and boundaries.
* Action Plan for Future Challenges: Build resilience and an action plan so that young individuals can handle future challenges with confidence and adaptability.
Whether your child or teen is dealing with anxiety, behavioral challenges, adjusting to family changes, or simply needs someone to talk to, we're here to support their journey and celebrate their unique personalities. Reach out to us, and together, we can lay the groundwork for a happier, healthier future.

Dr. Kimberly L. Rehak
Counselor/Therapist, Ed.D., M.A., BCBA-D, CAC, BC-TMH, CCTP, THP, Practitioner/ Specialist.
The Clinical Counseling Pediatrics Model Site location was born right in my own local community and operated for 2+ years at the model site, after almost a decade of explaining the model, training others about the model, implementing the model, creating content regarding the model, and contributing to the existing body of literature, helping to supervise the research, presenting about the research, and reviewing it, all in an effort to help serve to represent "the model" of pediatric behavioral health care as well as to increase awareness, access to information and resources, while simultaneously disseminating information about its efficacy and need. Efforts to educate and train other health care professionals, including primary care physicians, specialists, and Pediatricians, community members, police, judges, attorneys, special interest groups, the public, as well as parents/ families, and managed health care/ health insurance panels were also made in an attempt to include this model as a part of Pediatric Behavioral Health Care. Shedding more light on important areas of healthy development, including mental-behavioral care and prevention of so many issues that could easily be avoided can prevent suffering and ensure healthy and happier environments as well as relationships for all families.
