Allie Michie, MS
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT159347
Teens are navigating a lot, school, friendships, relationships, family, identity, and a felt pressure to have it all figured out before they even know who they are. I work with teens in a space that's honest, warm, and completely judgment-free. No agenda, just genuine curiosity about who they are and where they want to go.

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.

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.
