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.

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.

Kreins Psychological Services

As a psychologist specializing in working with teens, my approach to treatment is rooted in empathy, respect, and understanding of the unique developmental challenges adolescents face. I create a safe and supportive environment where teens feel heard and validated, fostering trust and open communication.

I collaborate closely with teens to set achievable goals, develop coping skills, and navigate life transitions effectively. Additionally, I recognize the importance of involving parents or guardians in the therapeutic process to provide support and facilitate positive changes within the family system. My goal is to empower teens to overcome challenges, build resilience, and thrive emotionally and academically during this critical stage of development.

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.
