Anna Stephenson
Therapist, MA, CCLS, RDT, LCAT
Imagine having your childhood and teen years recorded LIVE in front of an audience, because that’s basically what kids in our ever increasingly digital world are navigating daily. There is collective anxiety regarding the world they will inherit - climate, race, social media, the economy, oh yeah and college applications. For people still developing their pre-frontal cortex, they are having to manage a lot decisions with long term outcomes.
Therapy gives kids and teens the opportunity to take an active role in their health care with a trusted adult who isn’t a family member or teacher. The coping skills and personal insights they develop now, they will carry with them into their adulthood.

Jim Stangarone
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Certified psychodramatist (CP)
I work with children and adolescents suffering from a wide range of emotions frequently associated with, but not limited to, trauma. These emotions include depression, low self-esteem, self harm, and anxiety. Tools are also developed to learn anger management skills and non-oppositional behavior.

Jessica Biles
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R
Whether your child is experiencing anxiety, frequent tantrums, challenges in school, changes in their mood, friendship difficulties, trauma, low self-esteem, or they are processing family changes, I can help. I have extensive experience working with children in mental health clinics and in school settings. I’ve completed intensive postgraduate clinical training in Child and Adolescent Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. I have advanced training in Play Therapy, and I hold certificates in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and the Creative Arts Therapies. But most importantly, I can help your child express their feelings, uncover bravery, and begin to heal.

Amanda Martell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I adore children and adolescents. I have worked children and adolescents for years and have really come to see and understand the very particular needs of our youth. A lot of times, they just need validation and someone to just hear them. In sessions, I draw from psychodynamic approaches, play therapy approaches and CBT to support their particular needs.
