Child or Adolescent Issues
Amita Khare
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Sometimes children and families face challenging problems. Maybe it's a separation or divorce of parents, death in the family, or moving. I have worked with children, teens, and families from diverse backgrounds for the last 17 years. Depending on the client, I use play therapy, art, and cognitive-behavioral approaches to help children and teens be successful in managing anxiety, emotional outbursts, anger management, and defiance, as well as trauma experiences.

Danielle Greenspan, LMFT, LPCC
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 104395, LPCC 4889
I have worked with children and adolescents of all ages in different capacities for the past 17 years. I work with children as young as in infancy using my training and certification in FirstPlay Somatic Storytelling. I am trained and certified in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy to build and grow the relationships between parents and their toddlers or young children. I love working with elementary aged children in play therapy using their special interests to build a rapport and get creative with my interventions. I love working with adolescents through the challenges and angst of being so close to adulthood but not yet having the independence they crave.

Relationship Therapy Center - serving individuals and couples in CA online and in the Sacramento area
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.

Ryan Muldoon
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
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.

Sacramento is the state capital with a large government and public sector workforce, and therapists here frequently address the particular stresses of public service careers, bureaucratic work environments, and the emotional toll of policy work. The city's location in the Central Valley means it serves diverse communities including large Latino, Southeast Asian, and Hmong populations, with demand for culturally competent and multilingual therapists well established. UC Davis Health provides major institutional mental health resources, with a growing private practice community serving Midtown, East Sacramento, Land Park, and the surrounding suburbs. Sacramento's lower cost of living relative to the Bay Area has attracted many therapists from the region, expanding the range of available care.
