We understand that children and adolescents don’t struggle in isolation—their emotional and behavioral challenges are often shaped by family dynamics, school environments, identity development, and systemic stressors.

We specialize in supporting youth from historically marginalized communities and families who are seeking care that is culturally responsive, affirming, and strengths-based. Our clinicians help young people build emotional regulation skills, confidence, and healthy communication, while also working collaboratively with caregivers to strengthen support systems at home and school.

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.

Child/Teen
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.

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.

Philadelphia's identity as a historically working-class city with deep neighborhood roots shapes its therapy culture, with demand for therapists who understand economic stress, community violence, and the psychological weight of living in a city marked by stark racial and economic disparities. The city is home to world-class institutions including the University of Pennsylvania Health System, Jefferson Health, and Temple University Hospital, with a strong academic psychiatry and psychology community feeding into its private practice ecosystem. Philadelphia's large Black and Latino populations drive demand for culturally affirming therapists, and the city has a growing network of therapists of color across its diverse neighborhoods. Many practices are accessible via SEPTA, making therapy more reachable for clients across the city without cars.
