Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
I have 5 years of experience working as a high school therapist in NYC supporting adolescents and their families, often in the context of complex trauma, abuse histories, and significant relational conflict at home and school. This work has given me a deep understanding of how overwhelming and misunderstood the adolescent experience can be, especially for young people who are struggling to manage intense emotions, behavioral challenges, or difficult environments.
I’ve worked closely with youth who were often labeled as “oppositional” or “defiant,” but I approach these behaviors through a more compassionate lens—seeing them as signals that a young person is struggling and needs support, safety, and an advocate. Developmentally, I understand how adolescent brain structures contribute to impulsivity, risk-taking, and difficulty with emotional regulation, and I use that framework to help both teens and caregivers make sense of behaviors that can otherwise feel confusing or frustrating.
A central part of my work involves bridging the gap between adolescents and their parents or caregivers. I focus on helping families improve communication, reduce misunderstanding, and rebuild trust in the relationship. By supporting both the young person and their family system, I aim to create more connection, stability, and mutual understanding at home, so that adolescents feel both supported and better able to navigate their emotions and challenges.

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.

Stuart Hellebrand, M.S., C.Ht.
Hypnotherapist
I began a 32 year career with Los Angeles County in 1970. During the entirety of my career I worked in residential and community based treatment programs providing treatment services to youth ages 13-18. My responsibilities ranged from having counseling and supervision responsibility for a caseload of twenty-four 15-18 year old minors, to having administrative responsibility for a 130 bed residential treatment program. In between these vastly different areas of responsibility, I served as a consultant to 24 residential treatment programs providing treatment services to roughly 2,100 adolescents. Despite that I have been retired from LA County for 23 years, I still work with 10-18 year old youth on a selective basis.

W. Katherine Redd
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Is your teen having difficulty adjusting to the aches and pains of growing up? Are they exploring who they are or pushing the boundaries as they do? Or are they struggling with transitions? Each changing situation may have an impact, whether it is moving to a new location, the beginning of a new school year, or shifting from one classroom to the next. Whatever the change, it is especially hard for children and adolescents to navigate alone.
