Nathan Ely, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MDiv, LMFT
Previously, I worked as a child and family therapist for several years at an outpatient community mental health clinic. The earlier you intervene in a child's life, the better off they will be as an adult. Working with kids and families is one of my passions and I also provide parenting skills as well.

Christian Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Having worked for a number for years as a school counselor and youth pastor I understand the unique challenges kids/teens face as well as what parents go through trying to help them. Every child is unique and needs an approach that is tailored uniquely to them and the family. In our work together, I help clients cultivate not only practical skills but identity level understandings that allow kids/teens to increase in confidence and self-esteem, conflict management, and their ability to process traumatic events (bullying, divorce, etc). Contact me for more information.

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
We want parents to know that behavioral problems are relational problems. Anytime we work with a child, we work with the parent because anything that goes from the parent to the child is way more meaningful and effective than anything that goes from us to your child, because you have the permanent relationship. While we work with the child we look at ways in which parents can strengthen their relational bonds with their child and crystalize their child's trust and respect for them.

Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
Adolescence is a real developmental upheaval, not just a phase to get through. Identity is under construction, friendships carry enormous weight, the relationship with parents is being renegotiated whether anyone agreed to it or not, and all of it is happening in a body and brain that are still changing. Most teens handle a lot of this on their own. Sometimes they need more support than the people around them can give.
I work with teens on the ordinary-but-hard parts of this stage: friendship conflict and social pressure, questions about who they are and where they belong, school stress and perfectionism, self-esteem, screens and comparison, conflict at home, first relationships, and the general sense of being off without knowing why.
A lot of what makes this work is having one adult who isn't grading them, parenting them, or trying to fix them. Therapy gives your teen a space that's theirs, where they can think out loud and be met with curiosity instead of correction. That often changes things at home too, not because we're working on you, but because a teen who feels less alone tends to have more room for everyone around them.
