Child or Adolescent Issues
Claire Karakey
Therapist, LPC, MC
Your child can worry and have anxiety over seemingly simple things or things they may not verbalize, leaving it difficult for you to know what to say or do to help them.
Children have an especially hard time identifying their emotions while trying to navigate through life. Heck, it’s even hard for ME to grasp what I’m sometimes feeling! How can we expect a youngster to know what’s going on and how to deal?
When kids don’t have a context to explore their feelings, they tend to lash out with anger, rage, down in the dirt-hurt, isolation, or other concerning behaviors.
Do you know how often we hear the word “tantrum”?

Child or Adolescent Issues
Carter Doyle
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC, EMT-P
I work with children and teens who are navigating anxiety, mood changes, identity and orientation questions, or stress from family, school, or faith communities. My approach is affirming, developmentally sensitive, and collaborative with caregivers. We focus on helping young people name what they’re feeling, build regulation skills, and feel seen for who they are — while giving parents clear guidance on how to support them.
