Child or Adolescent Issues
Kimberlee Zetocha Halverson
Psychologist, Ph.D, LP
I have great experience working with children and teens across many settings including inpatient, outpatient, and in home therapy sessions. I have worked exclusively with kids/teens in session, but also when appropriate and needed encourage parent involvement in some of the sessions. I have extensive experience in behavior modification which often includes the help of parents within sessions. I am known to be very relatable and comfortable to talk to when it comes to kids and teens.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Váthos Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, ALC, NCC, MA
The teen years are full of change and challenges, often bringing stress, identity concerns, or emotional struggles. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where teens can process their feelings, build self-confidence, and develop healthy coping skills. My goal is to support adolescents as they navigate life’s complexities and strengthen their sense of self.

Child or Adolescent Issues
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.
