Sophie Pierce
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I specialize in working with children and teens through a developmental and relational lens, recognizing that each child's behavior is a form of communication. Using approaches grounded in play therapy, attachment theory, and evidence-based interventions, I create a safe and supportive space where young people can express themselves, build emotional awareness, and develop coping skills. I also partner closely with parents to better understand their child's needs, strengthen connection, and support growth both inside and outside of therapy.

Relationship Therapy Center - serving individuals and couples in CA online and in the Sacramento area
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, Certified Gottman Therapist
Play is the natural language of children so when they can play with a trained therapist who can do therapy at the same time, it's the best of both worlds. Your child wants to come and they are getting the treatment that they need at the same time.
With teens, it can take time to develop rapport and help them open up. We have an amazing training program for all of the therapists who specialize in working with teens so they can create a safe environment for teens who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, peer relationship struggles and all the life transitions they are going through.

Jonathan Kruger Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Your child is the most precious vessel in your life, and finding a trusted therapist to address your child’s emotional challenges is one of the toughest decisions a parent can face. Engaging with children in a safe, supportive way has been a lifelong passion of mine. I was blessed to be raised in a household that was joyous, accepting, filled with music, and also filled with children. My mother was a music therapist for children with special needs and disabilities, and observing her connect through music to deeply impaired youth had a profound impact on my life. Her example taught me to understand and engage children at their level, and I have taken those lessons into my therapeutic process, whether it be working closely with troubled children and teens throughout the Los Angeles County Unified Schools district, or engaging with children in my private practice.
My approach to child therapy is two-pronged. First, I seek to engage the child as an active participant in the therapeutic process. Deploying imagination, play, art, music, breathing, dancing, and energy work, the purpose is to build deep trust and communication at a level the child can embrace and that feels authentic to the child’s experience. Since children clearly do not have the communication skills of adults, building this connectivity, sense of safety, and environment of trust is vital. This is often accomplished through transitional objects, such as toys, dolls, and musical instruments. This signals to the child that our communication will take place at a level which is understandable to them, as well as comfortable and trusting. Once this attachment has taken place, it then becomes possible to infuse and suggest different thought and behavior patterns that address the child’s underlying issues.
Building this foundation of trust with the child is vital, but it is often just the first step. The second element of my child therapy practice is to fully enlist the family in understanding, supporting, and resolving the child’s emotional challenges. Clearly, the family and parenting dynamic is critical to the child’s behavior. Yet truly understanding that family dynamic is a sensitive process, especially given the enormous pressure parents are under in today’s world to be, simply put, perfect. My approach with parents is to, first, actively defuse this “perfection pressure.” No parent is perfect, and a key step is to uncover and explore the internal parenting dynamic absent the external pressures parents face today. Another key step is active “re-parenting” where I work closely with parents to identify different parenting techniques that will help support the child’s therapeutic process.
A holistic approach to child and family therapy is critical to long term healing and opening new, positive behaviors. Crafting a trusting, safe, and child-centric environment is a lifelong passion and a key part of my overall practice.

Christian Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Having worked for a number for years as a school counselor and youth pastor I understand the unique challenges kids/teens face as well as what parents go through trying to help them. Every child is unique and needs an approach that is tailored uniquely to them and the family. In our work together, I help clients cultivate not only practical skills but identity level understandings that allow kids/teens to increase in confidence and self-esteem, conflict management, and their ability to process traumatic events (bullying, divorce, etc). Contact me for more information.

Jaclyn Epstein-Calvert
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
I work with children and adolescents who are navigating emotional, behavioral, and social challenges. Many young people come to therapy struggling with anxiety, big feelings, school stress, friendship difficulties, or challenges related to attention, learning, or self-esteem. My approach focuses on helping children better understand their emotions, build regulation skills, and develop confidence in themselves and their relationships.
I use a relational, developmentally informed approach that integrates play, conversation, and nervous system awareness to meet children where they are. I also work closely with parents to support the family system as a whole, helping caregivers better understand their child’s emotional and developmental needs while building practical tools that strengthen connection and communication at home.

Alberto Gamarra
Psychologist, Ph. D. NCSP
For many children and adolescents , wanting to feel like they're being heard and listened to is critical to changing negative behaviors. Often-times, despite their parent's best intentions, a third party is needed. Being an objective voice for these kids is often all that is needed. I'm able to help them bridge the communication gap they are feeling with their parents and sometimes, that is enough for significant change to start.

Karina Baltazar-Durán LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Let's face it, being a kid or teen is hard. Overwhelming emotions, little to no coping skills, feeling like "no one gets it". At the base of being a kid or teen is also opportunity. Opportunity to learn, to grow, to seek understanding, and feel validated. Kids and teens are my jam and I'd love to help you re-connect with yours.

Depending on the client, I use play therapy, art, and cognitive-behavioral approaches to help children and teens be successful in managing anxiety, emotional outbursts, anger management, and defiance, as well as trauma experiences.
