Child/Teen
Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Childhood and adolescence can be times of tremendous growth — but also stress, confusion, and emotional challenges. I specialize in helping children and teens navigate issues such as anxiety, depression, school difficulties, peer and family conflict, self-esteem concerns, and adjustment to change.
My approach is collaborative, supportive, and developmentally attuned. I work to create a safe, trusting space where young people can express themselves freely and begin to understand their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Sessions often include age-appropriate cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT), emotional regulation skills, and guided problem-solving — all tailored to the child’s developmental level and individual needs.
Equally important, I work closely with parents and caregivers to strengthen communication and consistency at home. By helping families learn practical tools for support and structure, therapy becomes not just a place for the child to grow, but a foundation for the whole family to thrive.
Whether a child is struggling with school stress, social anxiety, mood swings, or family changes, my goal is to help them build resilience, confidence, and emotional understanding that will serve them for life.

Child/Teen
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I specialize in working with children and teens whose lives have been shaped by medical challenges, trauma, or neurodivergence. This may include serious or chronic illness, complex diagnoses, hospitalizations, accidents, frightening events, sexual abuse, or sensory and regulation differences that make school, friendships, or family life harder to navigate. Some young people I see are carrying several of these layers. Others are coping with one significant experience, such as PTSD after a specific event or the emotional impact of a new diagnosis.
Many of the children and teens I work with are carrying more than anyone realizes. On the outside, they may look like the good kid, the brave patient, or the one who holds everything together. Inside, they can feel scared, angry, overwhelmed, numb, or very alone.
My work is not general child therapy. I focus on how stress, trauma, medical experiences, and neurodivergence live in a young person’s body, emotions, and relationships. I also work closely with parents so you feel less isolated and more supported in responding to what your child is going through.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides compassionate, trauma-informed counseling for children, adolescents, teens, and families facing emotional, behavioral, social, and mental health challenges. Growing up in today’s fast-paced world can be overwhelming for many children and teenagers, especially with increasing academic pressure, social stress, family conflict, bullying, anxiety, and the constant influence of social media. Many young people struggle silently with emotional overwhelm, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, isolation, trauma, or difficulty coping with everyday stressors.
Brad takes a holistic and personalized approach to child and adolescent therapy, helping young clients feel safe, supported, understood, and empowered throughout the counseling process. Therapy is tailored to each child or teen’s unique personality, experiences, emotional needs, and developmental stage. His goal is to help young people improve emotional well-being, strengthen confidence, develop healthier coping skills, and create more positive relationships at home, school, and socially.
Many children and adolescents experience emotional struggles connected to bullying, peer pressure, social media stress, family difficulties, trauma, grief, behavioral challenges, self-esteem issues, or major life transitions. Brad provides a safe, non-judgmental environment where children and teens can openly discuss difficult emotions, experiences, fears, or concerns without feeling criticized or misunderstood. No topic is off limits, and therapy is focused on helping young clients feel emotionally secure while working through the challenges affecting their lives.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-focused counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to help children and teens process difficult experiences, reduce emotional distress, and build resilience. Therapy may focus on improving emotional regulation, reducing anxiety, strengthening communication, healing from trauma, improving self-esteem, and developing healthier coping strategies and relationships.
Brad also understands the importance of involving parents and families when appropriate to support healthy communication, emotional connection, consistency, and long-term progress. The counseling process is collaborative and focused on creating lasting positive change that supports both the child and the family system as a whole.
Healing, growth, and emotional resilience are possible. With the right support, children and teens can move beyond emotional struggles, develop greater confidence and self-awareness, and create healthier and more fulfilling lives.
Virtual counseling and online therapy sessions for children, adolescents, and families are available, providing confidential and convenient access to professional trauma-focused counseling from the comfort of home.

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.

Orka Health and Wellness, PLLC
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LICSW, LMFT, LPCC
Empowering the Next Generation
Through our team’s close connections with the thoughts, struggles, and dreams of children and their families, one thing has become abundantly clear: mental health, self-esteem, and how a child sees themselves in the world mean everything.
We know that for a child to thrive, they need to feel understood in their own language. That is why we work with clients ages 10 and older using a blend of deep clinical empathy and modern innovation. To bridge the gap between traditional talk therapy and a child’s natural way of engaging, we utilize specialized software designed to keep them interested and empowered in their own healing.
Our clinicians begin with a full assessment of your child’s needs, partnering with both the child and the family to set meaningful goals. From building self-esteem to processing trauma, we are here to help your child see themselves as the resilient individuals they truly are.

Dr. Danielle Goodwin
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I have had the privilege to work with children and adolescents for many years in the school, outpatient, residential and inpatient setting. I enjoy helping children to identify and build on their strengths and learn skills at a young age so they can feel more confident about who they are and grow to be the best version of themself. Integral to working with children or adolescents is involving parents so they can learn how to work together to create a harmonious home environment and guide their children or adolescent through difficult situations. I also may collaborate with schools so that interventions can be implemented that focus on their strengths.
