David McAlinden
Pre-Licensed Professional, MACP Candidate, Yorkville University
Growing up can feel overwhelming, especially with the pressure from school, friendships, family expectations, identity, and social media. Many children and adolescents carry more stress, anxiety, and self-doubt than the adults around them may realize, often struggling quietly while trying to fit in, meet expectations, or figure out who they are becoming.
I aim to create a calm, supportive, and approachable space where young people feel comfortable expressing themselves openly without fear of judgment or pressure. Whether they are struggling with confidence, emotional regulation, stress, relationships, or feeling disconnected from themselves or others, my goal is to help them feel heard, understood, and supported as they work through challenges at a pace that feels manageable for them.

Michelle Directo
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP, ExA
Children and adolescents go through enormous developmental stages. These stages are critical years to help them develop healthy ways to communicate and build a secure attachment with themselves, parents/caregivers, and others. Their social and emotional development are interconnected. My hope is that I can help you attune to your child/adolescent's emotions, discover/attend to their needs, and that your child/adolescent will learn to identify, label, and regulate their emotions in healthy and positive ways.

Miranda Arellano
Registered Psychotherapist, MC, RP, EMDR Certified Therapist, EMDRIA Approved Consultant
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy can be effective for children and youth who have experienced trauma or distressing events. This evidence-based approach is adapted to suit the developmental needs of young individuals, making it a valuable tool for addressing issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and emotional difficulties in this age group.
In EMDR therapy for children and youth, therapists use age-appropriate techniques to help them process traumatic memories or challenging experiences. This can include storytelling, drawing, or using toys and games to make the process more engaging and understandable for young minds. EMDR can help children and adolescents reduce the emotional intensity and distress associated with traumatic events, ultimately promoting emotional healing and improved mental well-being. It is important for parents or caregivers to seek guidance from a trained and experienced EMDR therapist who specializes in working with children and youth to ensure the best outcomes for their young ones.

Michelle Iacobucci
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
My approach when working with children under 12 years old is to ensure that they are provided with a positive and safe experience of therapy. I prefer to tailor therapy to their developmental stage by creating a fun environment that may involve play, art, and activities during sessions. Discussions about their interests, skills, and special talents and abilities are at the forefront of our therapeutic conversations to help build confidence and feelings of positivity. My background in relational therapy may invite parents or siblings into sessions as well. Please contact me for a free consultation if you are interested in determining if I would be a good fit for your child/children.
