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.

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.

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.

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.

Stephanie Larsen @ Healthy Minds Psychology Group
Psychologist, PsyD
Hi! Congratulations on taking the first step in your journey of caring more deeply for yourself! I specialize in working with children, adolescents and young adults primarily working to overcome their significant anxiety, fears that are holding them back, OCD, and panic symptoms. I have specialized training in exposure and response prevention (ERP) that tends to be the gold standard in treating OCD. I can offer support for the family and the child/ teen struggling through their anxiety. Ultimately, I strongly believe in building a close therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe to explore and move past your anxious thought patterns, learn to support yourself, become more confident in your identity and purpose, and my goal is to help you achieve the goals you've set out to meet! My online clients are focused primarily on late preteens and older due to the difficulties in engagement with elementary aged youth (in person sessions offered in the Charleston, SC area). Feel free to reach out and see if we can be a good fit to help move you closer to your goals and relief!

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Adolescence is the first time a person is asked to assemble a self in real time, in public, with an audience that is merciless. The pressure is not imagined. The stakes are not small. What looks from the outside like defiance or withdrawal or apathy is almost always a person in the middle of figuring out which parts of themselves are allowed to exist. I work with adolescents not by trying to correct their behavior but by taking seriously the problem they are trying to solve.

Good Human Work
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPC, CSAC
Parenting is hard and our kids don't always respond how we'd like. Our children grow and development at a rapid pace. As soon as we think we've figured parenting out, our kids change again. Struggling with specific aspects of parenting, and worrying about your child or teen's behavior is fairly normal. It's hard to know what is a true "problem" and what is within the range of "normal" behavior. We'll help you sort it out and know what steps to take to regain your footing and improve your relationship with your child.
