Child/Teen
Stella Zweben Samuel, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My majority of my clinical experience and practice is working with adolescents, young adults and college students. I love working with adolescents as they have a unique and creative perspective on life and what they are struggling about. Adolescents often do not feel heard or seen and my work includes understanding of what they are trying to express to those within their life. Much of my clinical work allows for adolescents to gain some understanding of their situation and how to communicate with their parents and those within their circle of support.

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.

50 Years Experience
Online in Fresno, CA California (Online Only)
Fresno sits at the center of California's San Joaquin Valley and serves a largely agricultural economy, with therapists frequently addressing the mental health effects of seasonal work instability, rural poverty, and the physical and psychological demands of farmworker life. The city has large Hispanic, Hmong, and Southeast Asian communities — many with refugee backgrounds — creating demand for multilingual and culturally informed therapists who work with intergenerational trauma, resettlement stress, and identity. Community Regional Medical Center and UCSF Fresno provide institutional mental health resources, while the California State University Fresno psychology program feeds practitioners into the local community. Fresno's relatively limited therapy density compared to coastal metros makes telehealth an important access route for residents across the Central Valley.
