Tandra Froehlich Childress
Marriage and Family Therapist, ATR, LMFT
I have worked with children and teens in multiple settings (mother, mentor, therapist). I am in awe of what strong young adults our youth are developing into. In these positions, I have noticed the many challenges they face. The teen and preteen years are confusing. Youth must figure out who they are, where they belong, and what they want to be. In addition to this feat, youth are challenged with a competitive academic environment and the constant watchful eye of social media. This can create intense stress and feelings that nobody is real. It is no wonder then, that anxiety and depression are increasing. As a therapist, I aide youth in discovering their passions, increasing self-esteem, calming anxieties, and finding their unique voice. Modern day society weighs heavy on our youth. With an understanding heart and open mind it is my passion to help carry that weight.

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.
