Jamie Roach
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, MDiv, NCC
Growing up today comes with immense pressure, often leaving children and adolescents feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or alone. I offer a calm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where young people can express what they’re experiencing beneath the surface. My work focuses on emotional regulation, resilience, and helping them develop a secure sense of self as they navigate school, relationships, and identity.

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”?

With over 30 years' experience in helping families understand and address emotional and behavioral problems with their children and teens, I have had many successes in helping resolve negative behaviors, difficult relationships, and even substance abuse issues. I also provide assessment of emotional and learning issues, liaison with schools to provide accommodations, communicate with physicians to begin, adjust or modify medication regimens, and provide suggestions regarding other services that might make a big difference in the child's emotional and/or academic well-being.

Dr. Indra Gonzalez
Psychologist, PsyD
I am passionate about working with children and adolescents experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression, and behavioral concerns. I understand that patients and their families have unique experiences, values and identities. I seek to incorporate these individualities and considerations in treatment. I am certified in EMDR and provide developmentally appropriate modifications based on age, needs and neurodiversity when working with children and adolescents. I will often also integrate child centered play therapy, expressive arts, CBT, and DBT-informed modalities depending on the goals in treatment.

Amy Guido
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Perhaps your child seems to be struggling in ways that have you concerned. As a parent, we often want the change more than the child does, which can be a block to progress. If your child or other family members won't attend, beginning with change in even one family member can change the dynamic for the better. I often work predominantly or only with the parents so that the most motivated person is skilled in ways that help stuck patterns change for the better, leading to a calmer, more connected homelife.
