I support adolescents with transition to/from high school, impact of parents divorce, eating disorders, self esteem, substance use disorder and development as they embark upon navigating this important time, through what can feel like exciting and scary moments. I help clients to discover themselves and learning more about who they are and the light that they embody within as they work through bringing themselves into the world.

Anna Stephenson
Therapist, MA, CCLS, RDT, LCAT
Adolescence today means navigating a digital world where everything feels recorded and public with no room for mistakes. Young people face collective anxiety about climate change, political division, social media, AI, and college applications—all while their brains are still developing.
Therapy gives kids and teens a trusted space with an adult who isn’t a parent or teacher. The coping skills and insights they develop now can become the foundation for their adult lives.

Elana Blumenthal
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with children as young as 8, often incorporating some form of play or storytelling into the therapy to help them communicate at an age-appropriate level. I work with adolescents all through the teen years and into adulthood, shaping our work to fit to where the teen is developmentally. While I encourage and need family/parent involvement periodically or as needed, I try to create a safe space where I can also talk to the child or adolescent in a space that is different from the home or family.

KIND Counseling, Inc.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R
As a clinician, I've been working with teenagers for over 25years in various capacities (social worker, group therapist, supervisor, director, business owner). Navigating the teen years can be very challenging for parents, as well as clinicians; and my expertise in this area can be very advantageous to the young people that we engage in clinically. We also have other therapists who work extremely well with younger children.

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.

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.

From the outset of my graduate training and research interests, I have worked in multiple settings with children, teens and families to encourage closeness, connection and regulation. Attachment frames the work that I do with kids to ensure that existing attachments relationships-parents, extended family, siblings, teachers, friends-are seen as the connective tissue of healthy growth and development for folks at all ages across the life span.

Dr Jody Eiser
Therapist, Doctorate in Psychology
Children and adolescents often express distress through behaviour rather than words. My work focuses on understanding these responses as adaptive ways of coping with underlying experiences. Using a trauma-informed approach and a focus on how young people learn to adapt to feel safe, I support both the child and their caregivers in creating greater understanding, regulation, and connection.
