Michael Zamrin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSW, MA
I help adolescents navigate a wide range of challenges, including low self-esteem, bullying, depression, anxiety, social struggles, academic pressure, and relationship issues. While teletherapy may not be ideal for very young children, it can be highly effective for teens—and I continue to enjoy working with them in this format. My experience includes many years in a residential treatment setting for adolescents, which gave me deep insight into the unique pressures they face. I also bring advanced training in family therapy, which informs my work by considering each teen not just as an individual, but as part of a larger family system. This approach helps foster lasting change by improving communication, strengthening relationships, and supporting the whole family.

Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience working with children and adolescents. Most children need to be seen in-person, but many teens are comfortable doing therapy virtually and this can be an effective treatment mode for them. With children and younger teens, parent consultations are usually part of the treatment so that we all work together as a "team" to help your child with whatever issues they are struggling. Older teens often do better when the therapy is more confidential, so that they can feel comfortable being open with me. I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you and your child. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your child, your family, and reasons for seeking therapy. I then meet with your child once or twice to get a sense of the issues with which they are struggling and determine if it appears therapy can be useful. At that point I give parents some feedback and we plan together from there. My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that kids and parents would like to see.

heARTtherapy with Amy
Art Therapist, LAPC, ATR
Is it difficult for your child to talk about challenging situations? Do you have the teen who doesn't want to talk about it? Children and teens gravitate towards art materials and the art can do the talking alone or be a bridge to the talking. Art therapy can happen in the metaphor and through line, shape, colors and characters. It doesn't have to directly name the hard stuff to be affective or evoke change. I have facilitated children processing grief, trauma and relationship challenges through characters as well as the abstract using a variety of materials from markers and crayons to paint and clay. Play is therapeutic for all of us and with my guidance, art therapy can be very healing.

Dr. Kimberly L. Rehak
Counselor/Therapist, Ed.D., M.A., BCBA-D, CAC, BC-TMH, CCTP, THP, Practitioner/ Specialist.
The Clinical Counseling Pediatrics Model Site location was born right in my own local community and operated for 2+ years at the model site, after almost a decade of explaining the model, training others about the model, implementing the model, creating content regarding the model, and contributing to the existing body of literature, helping to supervise the research, presenting about the research, and reviewing it, all in an effort to help serve to represent "the model" of pediatric behavioral health care as well as to increase awareness, access to information and resources, while simultaneously disseminating information about its efficacy and need. Efforts to educate and train other health care professionals, including primary care physicians, specialists, and Pediatricians, community members, police, judges, attorneys, special interest groups, the public, as well as parents/ families, and managed health care/ health insurance panels were also made in an attempt to include this model as a part of Pediatric Behavioral Health Care. Shedding more light on important areas of healthy development, including mental-behavioral care and prevention of so many issues that could easily be avoided can prevent suffering and ensure healthy and happier environments as well as relationships for all families.

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.

Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Adolescence is a time of very real physical and emotional changes, and certainly during this pandemic, there is greater concern for screen time, isolation, and education. Boundaries, skill sets, and emotional expression work does improve anxiety and can help teens grow in other ways.

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.
