Dr. Lois Nightingale
Psychologist, MA, Ph.D.
I have been working with children and adolescents since 1981. I have worked in research on ADD/ADHD and have years of experience with positive behavior modification interventions. I have written several children's self-help books and believe kids deserve to have coping skills for their emotions and personal interactions. www.amazon.com/author/loisnightingale

Alberto Gamarra
Psychologist, Ph. D. NCSP
For many children and adolescents , wanting to feel like they're being heard and listened to is critical to changing negative behaviors. Often-times, despite their parent's best intentions, a third party is needed. Being an objective voice for these kids is often all that is needed. I'm able to help them bridge the communication gap they are feeling with their parents and sometimes, that is enough for significant change to start.

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.

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.
