Rachel Thomasian
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Children and teens often show us they’re struggling through behavior, mood changes, or withdrawal. I offer a safe, supportive environment where young clients can process feelings, develop emotional tools, and build confidence. My approach helps them strengthen self-awareness, resilience, and skills for managing challenges at school, home, and in relationships.

Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Children and adolescents often express what they’re struggling with through behavior rather than words. I work with young clients and their families to understand the emotional and relational dynamics underlying these behaviors. Therapy focuses on improving communication, emotional understanding, and creating a more supportive environment at home.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, Certified Gottman Therapist
Play is the natural language of children so when they can play with a trained therapist who can do therapy at the same time, it's the best of both worlds. Your child wants to come and they are getting the treatment that they need at the same time.
With teens, it can take time to develop rapport and help them open up. We have an amazing training program for all of the therapists who specialize in working with teens so they can create a safe environment for teens who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, peer relationship struggles and all the life transitions they are going through.

Brad Gilmore
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
I work with kids and teens ages 8 and up. Depending on age and development level, we use play therapy and talk therapy to help develop an emotional awareness and vocabulary so things don't seem so out of control and scary. As well, I work extensively with parents throughout the process to ensure treatment is most effective. With teens, we tackle common struggles such as screen addictions, social isolation, sexual development, parental struggles, difficulties at school and self individuation.
