Robin Britt
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-S
Kids and teenagers don't always have the words for what they're feeling — but they carry just as much as adults do. Anxiety that looks like defiance. ADHD that looks like laziness. Big emotions that come out sideways because no one's taught them how to name what's happening inside.
I work with children as young as five through college age, meeting each young person where they are developmentally and building the kind of trust that makes real therapeutic work possible. Over more than 20 years of practice — and as a parent myself — I've learned that young clients need to feel genuinely safe before they'll open up. That takes patience, creativity, and a willingness to follow their lead.
I most commonly work with young people navigating anxiety, ADHD, autism spectrum differences, and the stress that comes with family transitions or conflict. When it's helpful, I bring parents into the process — not to report on their child, but to equip the whole family to support growth at home. The goal is always the same: help the young person understand themselves better, build real coping skills, and feel less alone in whatever they're facing.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Adolescence is the first time a person is asked to assemble a self in real time, in public, with an audience that is merciless. The pressure is not imagined. The stakes are not small. What looks from the outside like defiance or withdrawal or apathy is almost always a person in the middle of figuring out which parts of themselves are allowed to exist. I work with adolescents not by trying to correct their behavior but by taking seriously the problem they are trying to solve.

Dr. Jeannine Pablo

Navigating childhood and adolescence brings distinct developmental and emotional milestones.

Recognizing that lasting change thrives on collaboration, I partner closely with parents and families to create supportive home systems, improve behavioral regulation, and foster healthier familial communication.

Dr. Jacqueline Bentley
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Growing up is not easy for anyone including children, adolescents, or their parents! The reality is that it can be very hard to be a child or teen. They experience vast changing emotions, however, they are not equipped at their developmental stages to handle or understand feelings and experiences the same way as adults. I would strive to provide a nonjudgmental, safe and comforting environment for your child or adolescent to process through their various degrees of emotions and experiences, and aid them in expressing and making sense of how they are feeling more effectively.

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.
