Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
Our counseling services are designed to address the unique challenges faced by children and adolescents as they navigate through pivotal stages of development. Appreciating the complexities of youth experiences, from the pressures of academic performance to social integration and identity formation, we provide a nurturing environment that fosters growth, self-understanding, and resilience.
Tailored Support for Young Individuals
* Developmentally Appropriate Counseling: Our approaches are specifically chosen to match the developmental stage of the child or adolescent.
* Family Involvement: Recognizing the importance of the family system, we encourage family involvement in the counseling process when it's beneficial. This can help ensure that the home environment supports the child’s therapeutic goals.
* Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): For older children and adolescents, CBT can be effective in addressing thought patterns and behaviors linked to their challenges, helping modify their responses to various situations.
* Skills Building: We focus on developing key life skills, like effective communication, problem-solving, emotion regulation, and social skills, which can empower children and adolescents to overcome personal obstacles and interact more confidently with their peers.
* Self-Esteem Enhancement: We work to strengthen a young person's sense of self-worth, highlighting their strengths, and encouraging positive self-expression.
Goals of Counseling for Child or Adolescent Issues
With a compassionate and holistic approach, our therapy aims to help young people:
* Navigate Emotional Challenges: Equip children and adolescents with tools to process and articulate their emotions to cope with challenges in a healthy manner.
* Improve Behavioral Outcomes: Address behavioral issues by identifying their root causes and fostering positive change.
* Boost Social Skills: Encourage the development of social skills that can improve interactions with peers and family members.
* Strengthen Family Relationships: Work towards creating a supportive family environment where each member understands and respects one another's needs and boundaries.
* Action Plan for Future Challenges: Build resilience and an action plan so that young individuals can handle future challenges with confidence and adaptability.
Whether your child or teen is dealing with anxiety, behavioral challenges, adjusting to family changes, or simply needs someone to talk to, we're here to support their journey and celebrate their unique personalities. Reach out to us, and together, we can lay the groundwork for a happier, healthier future.

Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Childhood and adolescence can be times of tremendous growth — but also stress, confusion, and emotional challenges. I specialize in helping children and teens navigate issues such as anxiety, depression, school difficulties, peer and family conflict, self-esteem concerns, and adjustment to change.
My approach is collaborative, supportive, and developmentally attuned. I work to create a safe, trusting space where young people can express themselves freely and begin to understand their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Sessions often include age-appropriate cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT), emotional regulation skills, and guided problem-solving — all tailored to the child’s developmental level and individual needs.
Equally important, I work closely with parents and caregivers to strengthen communication and consistency at home. By helping families learn practical tools for support and structure, therapy becomes not just a place for the child to grow, but a foundation for the whole family to thrive.
Whether a child is struggling with school stress, social anxiety, mood swings, or family changes, my goal is to help them build resilience, confidence, and emotional understanding that will serve them for life.

SONYA L ALLEN
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CCTP
Children and adolescent youth struggle with myriad emotions and mood swings. Many behaviors are actually normal, but others can cause barriers to well being. Children’s brains are still forming, so it is important for them to learn important skills to manage intense and overwhelming emotions just as they are moving through childhood stages of development.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSWC-C
Growing up today can be overwhelming, especially for children and teens navigating school pressures, friendships, identity, and family expectations. I provide a supportive space where young people can explore their feelings, build coping skills, and develop confidence in who they are becoming. I also work closely with parents to strengthen communication and understanding at home, so the growth we build in therapy continues outside of our sessions.

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.

Newport News is defined by its location at the heart of the Hampton Roads shipbuilding and military industrial complex — home to Newport News Shipbuilding (now HII), one of the country's largest and most strategically significant defense contractors — creating a therapy community serving a large workforce navigating the psychological pressures of national security-adjacent industrial work alongside the region's substantial military population. The city has a large African American population with deep community roots in the Peninsula, and culturally affirming therapists who understand racial trauma, community resilience, and the particular dynamics of working-class Black life in Hampton Roads are an important part of the local landscape. Riverside Regional Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community. Newport News shares the Hampton Roads mental health ecosystem with Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and Hampton, and residents often access care across the region.
