San Francisco, California therapist: Stephen B. Lewis Hypnotherapy, hypnotherapist
Child or Adolescent Issues

Stephen B. Lewis Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapist, CHt
Having two teenagers of my own I understand all too well the trials and tribulations of being a child in today's world. I've worked with children as young as 8 to help them resolve fears and habits that have caused them great distress. I've also worked with teenagers to help them overcome unwanted habits, issues around self-esteem, as well as social and academic problems that have been holding them back. Children and teens are often intrigued by the idea of using hypnosis to solve their problems, and any stigma they may feel about going for "therapy" is usually not present for hypnosis. I enjoy working with children and teenagers as they typically go into trance states very easily and have better access to their imaginations than most adults. My sessions with kids, as with adults, are usually relaxing, often fun, and sometimes even entertaining!

Orange, California therapist: Cristal Lopez, psychologist
Child or Adolescent Issues

Cristal Lopez

Psychologist, Ph.D.
Welcome! You might be feeling disconnected from your family, friends, children, job, or even the world. I'm Dr. Cristal Lopez, and I believe that we all have powerful strengths. Together, we will explore yours to help you unlock your full potential, connect authentically with others, and show up as your true self. My training at top U.S. children's hospitals, including Children's Hospital Los Angeles, California Pacific Medical Center, Texas Children’s Hospital, and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, has provided me with over 6 years of experience working with children, adolescents, young and mid-life adults, and families. For my younger clients, I use behavioral and play therapy techniques, while also supporting parents and families to foster healthy connections. With adolescents and adults, I draw on strength-based, humanistic, and relational principles to guide our work together. Beyond traditional mental health concerns, I specialize and publish work in: coping with chronic illnesses, career-related issues (burnout, work-life balance), trauma, adverse childhood experiences, and stress related to first-responder families. I’m committed to guiding you, your child, or family to a more connected and fulfilling life. Invest in yourself!

Santa Monica, California therapist: Nicole Bermensolo, marriage and family therapist
Child or Adolescent Issues

Nicole Bermensolo

Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., AMFT
If being a parent in 2022 is difficult, being a kid in 2022 is near impossible. I am passionate about working with children and adolescents in close collaboration with parents/care-givers to assist in a myriad of issues, including anxiety, depression, school avoidance, bullying, self-esteem, divorce, co-parenting, and trauma. I utilize a unique combination of interactive play therapy, relational therapy, and EMDR (if appropriate) in order to give your child the most effective therapy experience.

San Francisco, California therapist: Tandra Froehlich Childress, marriage and family therapist
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.

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.

San Rafael, California therapist: Robynne OByrne, psychologist
Child or Adolescent Issues

Robynne OByrne

Psychologist, Ph.D.
During my training in graduate school, I specialized in Child and Adolescent Development. I have worked with children of all ages and worked as the Director of Counseling for 3 years at a private high school in Marin County. I have always found working with children and teenagers especially gratifying. This is a particularly challenging time to be a young person. There are so many issues that young people face - fears about climate change, politics, the economy. Social media and digital addiction only make things worse. There is an epidemic of anxiety and depression among young people and now more than ever do I feel the desire to help the youth of today develop the resilience to face life's challenges. My extensive experiences working with children and adolescents, as well as my experiences as the parent of two young adults allows me to make deep and meaningful connections with my young clients.
