Orka Health and Wellness, PLLC
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LICSW, LMFT, LPCC
Empowering the Next Generation
Through our team’s close connections with the thoughts, struggles, and dreams of children and their families, one thing has become abundantly clear: mental health, self-esteem, and how a child sees themselves in the world mean everything.
We know that for a child to thrive, they need to feel understood in their own language. That is why we work with clients ages 10 and older using a blend of deep clinical empathy and modern innovation. To bridge the gap between traditional talk therapy and a child’s natural way of engaging, we utilize specialized software designed to keep them interested and empowered in their own healing.
Our clinicians begin with a full assessment of your child’s needs, partnering with both the child and the family to set meaningful goals. From building self-esteem to processing trauma, we are here to help your child see themselves as the resilient individuals they truly are.

Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
Raising a loving, united family today means facing pressures no generation has ever seen. The constant pace, screens, and stress leave many parents—and their kids—exhausted and disconnected. What should be years of joy and discovery can become seasons of anxiety, defiance, or quiet withdrawal. You might see your child losing motivation, melting down over small things, struggling in school, or shutting you out completely. It’s hard to know when to step in or what to say—and even harder to watch them hurt.
At Rising Calm Center, we come alongside both parents and kids to restore understanding, structure, and peace in the home. Our Christian counselors create a warm, judgment-free space where young people can express emotions, build healthy coping skills, and grow in confidence—rooted in who God created them to be.
We even offer same-week appointments, in-person and virtual sessions, and a sliding fee scale that works with any insurance or budget—so care is flexible and accessible when you need it most.
We use developmentally attuned, evidence-based approaches—CBT, DBT skills training, play and art therapy, family systems work, and somatic calming tools—woven together with faith-based encouragement and practical family coaching.
Together, we help your child:
• Understand and manage big emotions
• Reduce anxiety, irritability, and impulsivity
• Strengthen focus, responsibility, and resilience
• Heal from trauma, bullying, or self-esteem wounds
• Improve communication and rebuild trust at home
Whether your child is battling school stress, peer pressure, family conflict, or identity challenges, we help them—and you—find peace, purpose, and lasting growth.
You don’t have to parent through the storm alone. Hope and healing can begin here.

Stephanie Larsen @ Healthy Minds Psychology Group
Psychologist, PsyD
Hi! Congratulations on taking the first step in your journey of caring more deeply for yourself! I specialize in working with children, adolescents and young adults primarily working to overcome their significant anxiety, fears that are holding them back, OCD, and panic symptoms. I have specialized training in exposure and response prevention (ERP) that tends to be the gold standard in treating OCD. I can offer support for the family and the child/ teen struggling through their anxiety. Ultimately, I strongly believe in building a close therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe to explore and move past your anxious thought patterns, learn to support yourself, become more confident in your identity and purpose, and my goal is to help you achieve the goals you've set out to meet! My online clients are focused primarily on late preteens and older due to the difficulties in engagement with elementary aged youth (in person sessions offered in the Charleston, SC area). Feel free to reach out and see if we can be a good fit to help move you closer to your goals and relief!

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.

Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I have a particular interest in working with children and adolescents as they navigate the often complex and evolving process of identity development. Adolescence is a time of profound change—emotionally, socially, and psychologically—and many young people struggle to make sense of who they are and where they belong.
I bring a specialized focus to working with adoptees and donor-conceived children and teens, who may face unique questions around identity, origin, and connection. These experiences can shape how young people understand themselves and their relationships in ways that are not always visible from the outside.
My approach is thoughtful, developmentally informed, and grounded in creating a space where young people feel safe to explore these questions openly. I also work closely with parents to help them better understand and support their child’s experience, strengthening communication and connection within the family as a whole.

Good Human Work
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPC, CSAC
Parenting is hard and our kids don't always respond how we'd like. Our children grow and development at a rapid pace. As soon as we think we've figured parenting out, our kids change again. Struggling with specific aspects of parenting, and worrying about your child or teen's behavior is fairly normal. It's hard to know what is a true "problem" and what is within the range of "normal" behavior. We'll help you sort it out and know what steps to take to regain your footing and improve your relationship with your child.

Megan Anderson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Therapist & A Couch is a space rooted in the belief that every part of you belongs. Many adolescents that walk through my door are navigating pressures of school, challenging relationships, or pressures from social media and the world around them. These struggles often point to deeper questions about purpose, identity, meaning, and choices.
No matter the story someone arrives with, the diagnoses they may carry, or the identities they may hold, we begin with the core human experiences that connect us all — our wishes, fears, wounds, conflicts, patterns, walking contradictions...our messiness. Within these places live the quiet truths that shape who we are. Together, we gently sift through what’s been heavy so you can feel lighter, freer, and more whole.

Kelli Tahaney
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have focused my private clinical practice on working with adolescents and young adults in particular. I have a lot of experience clinically and through volunteering working with adolescents. Whether in middle school, high school, college/early 20s, I really enjoy providing support and guidance to individuals in the incredibly important developmental phase of adolescence. It's important for adolescents to have their own safe, trusted outlet to explore the time period between childhood and full independence, which can include a lot of growth edges such as familial conflict, tumultuous peer relationships, overwhelming emotions, and new risk behaviors.
