Child or Adolescent Issues
Stella Zweben Samuel, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My majority of my clinical experience and practice is working with adolescents, young adults and college students. I love working with adolescents as they have a unique and creative perspective on life and what they are struggling about. Adolescents often do not feel heard or seen and my work includes understanding of what they are trying to express to those within their life. Much of my clinical work allows for adolescents to gain some understanding of their situation and how to communicate with their parents and those within their circle of support.

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.

I have worked extensively with adolescents. Years ago, in my training I did some intensive training with homeless teenagers. This has translated tremendously to my work in private practice with all sorts of issues that affect teenagers. I learned to quickly establish a trusted rapport.

Santa Clarita is a large suburban city north of Los Angeles in the Santa Clarita Valley — one of the primary bedroom communities for the entertainment industry, with a significant population of production workers, crew members, and support staff whose careers are tied to the cycles of film and television production. The city's family-oriented, relatively conservative character contrasts with the precarious employment reality of many of its entertainment-connected residents, and therapists frequently address creative career anxiety, the boom-bust psychology of production employment, and the identity challenges of supporting roles in an industry that prizes visibility. Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community. Santa Clarita's suburban sprawl and car-dependent layout contribute to social isolation themes that therapists encounter frequently.
