Child or Adolescent Issues
Kelsey Bass
Marriage and Family Therapist, MAS, LMFT
Preteens and teens face unique challenges, from navigating peer pressure and academic stress to exploring their identities and managing family dynamics. I strive to provide a safe and supportive space for young individuals to express their feelings, build self-esteem, and develop healthy coping skills. By establishing a strong therapeutic relationship, we can address issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and emotional regulation, empowering preteens and teens to navigate this critical stage of life with confidence and resilience. My goal is to help them understand their emotions, improve their relationships, and thrive during these transformative years.

Claire Karakey
Therapist, LPC, MC
Your child can worry and have anxiety over seemingly simple things or things they may not verbalize, leaving it difficult for you to know what to say or do to help them.
Children have an especially hard time identifying their emotions while trying to navigate through life. Heck, it’s even hard for ME to grasp what I’m sometimes feeling! How can we expect a youngster to know what’s going on and how to deal?
When kids don’t have a context to explore their feelings, they tend to lash out with anger, rage, down in the dirt-hurt, isolation, or other concerning behaviors.
Do you know how often we hear the word “tantrum”?
