Cara Waters
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCDC-I
Adolescents face pressures and obstacles they are unable to handle due to their developmental age. Adolescents experience strong emotions that they are not mature enough to understand, much less express them in a way parents and caregivers can understand. I work with adolescents who are struggling with LGBTQ+ issues, anxiety, relationships, depression, self-esteem and self-harm issues. I have adolescent therapy groups where these topics are discussed, as well as, the effects of social media, body image, bullying, peer pressure and what it means to have values, morals and responsibilities.

Matthew Jones
Licensed Professional Counselor, MSCC, LPC
Children and adolescent work requires being able to see them as an equal and giving them a voice and some method of control over themselves. They are still developing and far to often have adult ideas and understanding placed on them without them having the skills. I believe in meeting them where they are at.

Dr. Jacqueline Bentley
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Growing up is not easy for anyone including children, adolescents, or their parents! The reality is that it can be very hard to be a child or teen. They experience vast changing emotions, however, they are not equipped at their developmental stages to handle or understand feelings and experiences the same way as adults. I would strive to provide a nonjudgmental, safe and comforting environment for your child or adolescent to process through their various degrees of emotions and experiences, and aid them in expressing and making sense of how they are feeling more effectively.
