Child or Adolescent Issues
Carol S Sepulveda
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW-S, Registered Play Therapist
Play is our first language. Just as adults use words to communicate, children use play. When playing, we express thoughts and feelings that might otherwise remain hidden. Play Therapy is a powerful tool for addressing cognitive, behavioral, and emotional challenges. Play is a natural process that builds trust, fosters acceptable behaviors, regulates emotions, reduces anxieties and elevates self-esteem.

Anxiety, depression, school and family transitions, and bullying are just a few problems children and adolescents face today that cause considerable distress. In turn, these problems inevitably impact the family and can be dealt with effectively in therapy.

Child or Adolescent Issues
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.

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.
