Nathan Ely, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MDiv, LMFT
Previously, I worked as a child and family therapist for several years at an outpatient community mental health clinic. The earlier you intervene in a child's life, the better off they will be as an adult. Working with kids and families is one of my passions and I also provide parenting skills as well.

Foothills Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMFT, AMFT, ACSW
Our therapists love working with teenagers. Do you have a moody teenager? Bring them to us! We recognize that working with teenagers requires honesty, openness, and a willingness to laugh at the newest meme. We are willing to meet your kid where they are at and provide a space where they can feel safe sharing the struggles of being a teenager in the world today. We are also committed to working with the parents and require once a month parenting sessions so you don't feel like the work with your teenager is being done in a vacuum.
