Child/Teen
Sophie Pierce
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I specialize in working with children and teens through a developmental and relational lens, recognizing that each child's behavior is a form of communication. Using approaches grounded in play therapy, attachment theory, and evidence-based interventions, I create a safe and supportive space where young people can express themselves, build emotional awareness, and develop coping skills. I also partner closely with parents to better understand their child's needs, strengthen connection, and support growth both inside and outside of therapy.

Allie Michie, MS
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT159347
Teens are navigating a lot, school, friendships, relationships, family, identity, and a felt pressure to have it all figured out before they even know who they are. I work with teens in a space that's honest, warm, and completely judgment-free. No agenda, just genuine curiosity about who they are and where they want to go.

Foothills Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMFT, AMFT, ACSW
Our therapists love working with teenagers. Do you have a moody teenager? Bring them to us! We recognize that working with teenagers requires honesty, openness, and a willingness to laugh at the newest meme. We are willing to meet your kid where they are at and provide a space where they can feel safe sharing the struggles of being a teenager in the world today. We are also committed to working with the parents and require once a month parenting sessions so you don't feel like the work with your teenager is being done in a vacuum.

Danielle Greenspan, LMFT, LPCC
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 104395, LPCC 4889
I have worked with children and adolescents of all ages in different capacities for the past 17 years. I work with children as young as in infancy using my training and certification in FirstPlay Somatic Storytelling. I am trained and certified in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy to build and grow the relationships between parents and their toddlers or young children. I love working with elementary aged children in play therapy using their special interests to build a rapport and get creative with my interventions. I love working with adolescents through the challenges and angst of being so close to adulthood but not yet having the independence they crave.
