Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience working with children and adolescents. Most children need to be seen in-person, but many teens are comfortable doing therapy virtually and this can be an effective treatment mode for them. With children and younger teens, parent consultations are usually part of the treatment so that we all work together as a "team" to help your child with whatever issues they are struggling. Older teens often do better when the therapy is more confidential, so that they can feel comfortable being open with me. I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you and your child. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your child, your family, and reasons for seeking therapy. I then meet with your child once or twice to get a sense of the issues with which they are struggling and determine if it appears therapy can be useful. At that point I give parents some feedback and we plan together from there. My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that kids and parents would like to see.

Stuart Hellebrand, M.S., C.Ht.
Hypnotherapist
I began a 32 year career with Los Angeles County in 1970. During the entirety of my career I worked in residential and community based treatment programs providing treatment services to youth ages 13-18. My responsibilities ranged from having counseling and supervision responsibility for a caseload of twenty-four 15-18 year old minors, to having administrative responsibility for a 130 bed residential treatment program. In between these vastly different areas of responsibility, I served as a consultant to 24 residential treatment programs providing treatment services to roughly 2,100 adolescents. Despite that I have been retired from LA County for 23 years, I still work with 10-18 year old youth on a selective basis.

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”?

Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
Raising a loving, united family today means facing pressures no generation has ever seen. The constant pace, screens, and stress leave many parents—and their kids—exhausted and disconnected. What should be years of joy and discovery can become seasons of anxiety, defiance, or quiet withdrawal. You might see your child losing motivation, melting down over small things, struggling in school, or shutting you out completely. It’s hard to know when to step in or what to say—and even harder to watch them hurt.
At Rising Calm Center, we come alongside both parents and kids to restore understanding, structure, and peace in the home. Our Christian counselors create a warm, judgment-free space where young people can express emotions, build healthy coping skills, and grow in confidence—rooted in who God created them to be.
We even offer same-week appointments, in-person and virtual sessions, and a sliding fee scale that works with any insurance or budget—so care is flexible and accessible when you need it most.
We use developmentally attuned, evidence-based approaches—CBT, DBT skills training, play and art therapy, family systems work, and somatic calming tools—woven together with faith-based encouragement and practical family coaching.
Together, we help your child:
• Understand and manage big emotions
• Reduce anxiety, irritability, and impulsivity
• Strengthen focus, responsibility, and resilience
• Heal from trauma, bullying, or self-esteem wounds
• Improve communication and rebuild trust at home
Whether your child is battling school stress, peer pressure, family conflict, or identity challenges, we help them—and you—find peace, purpose, and lasting growth.
You don’t have to parent through the storm alone. Hope and healing can begin here.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
I use a strength-based approach to support children and adolescents in therapy, by focusing on their inherent strengths, passions and potential rather than solely addressing problems or deficits. My therapeutic approach emphasizes identifying and harnessing each young person’s unique abilities, talents, and resilience in order to foster personal growth and improve problem-solving skills. Understanding the current landscape and challenges faced by youth today—such as academic pressures, social media influences and evolving family dynamics—is crucial for tailoring interventions that are relevant and impactful. I intentionally integrate the child’s or adolescent’s imagination and creativity into therapy as well, in order to create a therapeutic process that is interesting, engaging and ultimately empowering. Working with children and adolescents also requires a multidisciplinary approach which can involve parents, extended family, teachers, school counselors and pediatricans in the process. Parents understand the child’s home environment and family dynamics, teachers have insights into the child’s academic and social performance at school, and pediatricians offer medical, historical and developmental perspectives. Combining these viewpoints provides a more comprehensive understanding of the child’s situation and provides information that guides the therapeutic process and ensures greater treatment efficacy across the child or adolecent's environments.

Amy Guido
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Perhaps your child seems to be struggling in ways that have you concerned. As a parent, we often want the change more than the child does, which can be a block to progress. If your child or other family members won't attend, beginning with change in even one family member can change the dynamic for the better. I often work predominantly or only with the parents so that the most motivated person is skilled in ways that help stuck patterns change for the better, leading to a calmer, more connected homelife.

Kelli Tahaney
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have focused my private clinical practice on working with adolescents and young adults in particular. I have a lot of experience clinically and through volunteering working with adolescents. Whether in middle school, high school, college/early 20s, I really enjoy providing support and guidance to individuals in the incredibly important developmental phase of adolescence. It's important for adolescents to have their own safe, trusted outlet to explore the time period between childhood and full independence, which can include a lot of growth edges such as familial conflict, tumultuous peer relationships, overwhelming emotions, and new risk behaviors.
