KT Glusac
Counselor/Therapist, AMFT, APCC
Working with children outdoors allows their natural play, curiosity, and resilience to emerge. In eco-therapy sessions, children engage with the natural world as a safe space to express feelings, develop emotional awareness, and build confidence. I also collaborate with parents to strengthen connection and communication at home.

Dr. Fernando Castrillon
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Work with children or adolescents is significantly different than therapeutic work with adults. My extensive training and experience with children and teenagers allow me to work effectively and with care, staying attuned to the singularities of each child's world and subjectivity.

Nes Pinar Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Kids and teens aren’t built to sit still and talk about their feelings, so I bring in art, movement, and other expressive activities to help them open up. Using the whole body makes therapy more fun and also more effective. Creative work gives young people a powerful way to understand themselves and grow.

Lisa McNelley Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #156096
Being a teen is tough. Balancing the demands of school, having a social life, figuring out who you are or want to become, not to mention renegotiating your role and responsibilities at home, add up to a lot of stress. Maybe you don't know? Maybe you do, and it feels overwhelming. Maybe you are relying in substances or choices that help lessen the pain but are hurting you in the long run. Fold in existing mental health challenges like anxiety, depression and ADHD, and it all becomes too much.
It's hard not to compare yourself to your friends, classmates, or people online. Everyone seems to have their act together. They have the perfect body, all the cool stuff, or know what they want. Maybe they are fortunate in some areas in their life, but that doesn't mean they've got life figured out. What matters is how you feel about YOU.
If any of this lands, you don't have to go it alone. Therapy is a safe space to talk about what's not working and get help. I'm not there to judge you (I've been there) or there to tell you what to do. I am there to listen and support you in finding a way through. I value honesty and trust; what is discussed in therapy stays in therapy. I'm not there to report back to your parents, guardians, or anyone else.

Tandra Froehlich Childress
Marriage and Family Therapist, ATR, LMFT
I have worked with children and teens in multiple settings (mother, mentor, therapist). I am in awe of what strong young adults our youth are developing into. In these positions, I have noticed the many challenges they face. The teen and preteen years are confusing. Youth must figure out who they are, where they belong, and what they want to be. In addition to this feat, youth are challenged with a competitive academic environment and the constant watchful eye of social media. This can create intense stress and feelings that nobody is real. It is no wonder then, that anxiety and depression are increasing. As a therapist, I aide youth in discovering their passions, increasing self-esteem, calming anxieties, and finding their unique voice. Modern day society weighs heavy on our youth. With an understanding heart and open mind it is my passion to help carry that weight.

Nicole Bermensolo
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., AMFT
If being a parent in 2022 is difficult, being a kid in 2022 is near impossible. I am passionate about working with children and adolescents in close collaboration with parents/care-givers to assist in a myriad of issues, including anxiety, depression, school avoidance, bullying, self-esteem, divorce, co-parenting, and trauma. I utilize a unique combination of interactive play therapy, relational therapy, and EMDR (if appropriate) in order to give your child the most effective therapy experience.

Amber McKinney-Morgan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW
Children and teens often express distress in ways that can be confusing or concerning. I support young people in understanding their emotions, building resilience, and developing healthy coping skills. I also work collaboratively with caregivers to strengthen connection and communication, creating an environment where growth and healing can happen both in and outside of therapy.
