Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S
Therapy for child and adolescent issues, also called child therapy or teenage therapy, is a specialized form of counseling designed to satisfy children and adolescents' unique emotional, developmental, and behavioral requirements. Child and adolescent therapists are trained to work with young clients and provide a secure and supportive environment for them to express themselves, investigate their emotions, and overcome obstacles.
Child and adolescent therapy is highly individualized, with approaches varying according to the child's age, developmental level, and specific requirements. Therapists can employ techniques to engage juvenile clients and promote their emotional health and growth.
If you are concerned about the emotional health or behavior of a child or adolescent, a qualified child and adolescent therapist or counselor can provide valuable support and guidance for the child and his or her family.

Dr. Kahina Beasley
Psychologist, Psy.D.
When a child or adolescent faces challenges in their academic journey, the experience can be deeply distressing for both the student and their parents. Determining the most effective support strategies often requires a comprehensive assessment of the young person's cognitive and processing skills, conducted by a licensed expert. I offer psychoeducational evaluations tailored to pinpoint your child's unique needs, providing you with a detailed report that can be presented to their school. This documentation is pivotal in advocating for the necessary interventions, ensuring your child receives the targeted assistance they require to thrive academically.

Ashley Miller Nolan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I LOVE playing and no one is better at playing than kids! I have been honored to witness children courageously bear their souls, face their hard life situations, fears, and shadow self (shame/embarrassment/guilt) and therefore bring freedom and creative, helpful ways of living into their lives. Obviously, play therapy looks different online, but with a few toys on each end and a child who feels safe and seen...watch out, they will create, play and process through what they need to without conscious knowledge or effort of doing so. I am just thankful to be along for the ride!
Most of my talk therapy will come with their parents who I like to work with more consistently than with the child. Helping parents figure out how they are reacting to their children and their children's thoughts, feelings, sensations, urges, and behaviors allow parents to create more comfortable and helpful ways of parenting and interacting with the little human being in their care.
Adolescent human beings are also a joy to connect with.
8 Years Experience

Maria Maddalo
Psychologist, Psy.D., BCBA
Child and Adolescent Issues often present differently than adults. With this in mind, it is important to work at a child or adolescent's developmental level. I work with these special clients to meet them where they are, and to address their specific areas of need, including friendships, relationships, bullying, and academics. Suicidal ideation is also a rising concern among this population.
As a Licensed Psychologist and School Psychologist in PA, I am able to provide both therapy and evaluations for your child or adolescent.

Addressing child and adolescent issues involves a holistic and collaborative approach. Providing a supportive environment and open communication with parents, caregivers, and teachers is crucial.

Tara Thompson

Children and adolescents may face a multitude of challenges stemming from factors such as family dynamics, peer pressure, school-related stress, or traumatic events. When individuals encounter these obstacles, I aim to provide a supportive environment where they can freely express their emotions and experiences. I assist them in comprehending their feelings and acquiring effective coping strategies. Furthermore, I engage both the young individual and their family members, to enhance communication and foster stronger familial bonds, which are pivotal in addressing these challenges.
