Kayzim Suárez-Reyes
Psychologist, PhD
I provide specialized developmental assessment services for children and adolescents to gain a clear, comprehensive understanding of their cognitive, emotional, social, and academic functioning. Utilizing standardized, evidence-based tools, I evaluate a range of developmental areas, with particular proficiency in conducting diagnostic and developmental testing for ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). My reports go beyond mere scores; they offer actionable, personalized recommendations for parents, schools, and treatment providers. My goal is to pinpoint the strengths and needs of the child or adolescent to ensure they receive the precise support necessary for optimal development and success.

Nes Pinar Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Kids and teens aren’t built to sit still and talk about their feelings, so I bring in art, movement, and other expressive activities to help them open up. Using the whole body makes therapy more fun and also more effective. Creative work gives young people a powerful way to understand themselves and grow.

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.

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.

Be Authentic Family Therapy Services, Inc. Michele Putini, Director
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
When something happens in a family, sometimes children and teens don't know how to manage it. They may not know how to express what they feel and may act out, behave in ways that are not typical or withdraw or isolate themselves. Children's first language is play so we utilize play therapy, art therapy techniques and sand tray therapy to help them to express themselves in a safe enviornment. We believe through the connection of the safe therapeutic relationship, children, teens and families can heal from the challenges and move towards wellness, growth and discovery of their most authentic self. If your child is experiencing a challenge then your whole family is having a challenge and we can help you process those feelings, discover new coping skills to manage symptoms and move towards the healing we all desire. We are here to help guide you. We all desire to be seen and heard and treated with respect. We honor all of our clients whether they are 4 or 94 years old. We can help you discover what you need. Make an appointment so we can begin the healing.

Stella Zweben Samuel, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My majority of my clinical experience and practice is working with adolescents, young adults and college students. I love working with adolescents as they have a unique and creative perspective on life and what they are struggling about. Adolescents often do not feel heard or seen and my work includes understanding of what they are trying to express to those within their life. Much of my clinical work allows for adolescents to gain some understanding of their situation and how to communicate with their parents and those within their circle of support.

Nicole Bermensolo
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., AMFT
If being a parent in 2022 is difficult, being a kid in 2022 is near impossible. I am passionate about working with children and adolescents in close collaboration with parents/care-givers to assist in a myriad of issues, including anxiety, depression, school avoidance, bullying, self-esteem, divorce, co-parenting, and trauma. I utilize a unique combination of interactive play therapy, relational therapy, and EMDR (if appropriate) in order to give your child the most effective therapy experience.

Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Childhood and adolescence can be a confusing and overwhelming time for many, and it can be full of transitions, competing stressors, and uncertainty regarding who they are or where they belong. In our sessions, I strive to co-create a safe space where they can talk through the things that are most on their mind. By following their pace and providing support and guidance along the way, we can work to lessen the overwhelming impact of emotions, untangle confusing and painful beliefs, and find ways to navigate the situations in which they feel stuck.

Jennifer Canu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I have been working with children and adolescents for over 20 years. Children and teens experience mental health symptoms differently then adults, so it is critical your therapist is able to differentiate age/developmentally-appropriate behaviors from mental health symptoms. I offer structured play, sand-tray, and expressive arts to create space and containment for children and teens to explore and process emotions, challenges, and parts of themselves, as well as to help them learn skills to increase regulation, reduce symptoms, and improve functioning.

Holly Hall, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Adolescence is a critical developmental period marked by identity formation, increasing independence, and complex emotional growth. My work recognizes that teenagers exist within family systems and broader social contexts that profoundly influence their well-being. I believe effective treatment must address not only the individual adolescent's thoughts and behaviors, but also the family patterns and relationships that shape their experiences. I provide a safe place where children and adolescence feel comfortable to connect
