Child or Adolescent Issues
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.

Ryan Muldoon
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
I've been fortunate enough to work with teenagers and young adults for over 2 years now. It's been my pleasure to help them overcome challenges like depression, anxiety, substance abuse, academic stress, and more. It's so important for this age group to establish their identity, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to have guided so many young individuals through this process. With the right support, I truly believe that their future is bright.
