Janie Venturina
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Something changed and you are not sure when. Your kid used to tell you things. Now the door closes, the answers get shorter, and the arguments start over nothing. I work with tweens and teens between 11 and 18, and I spend just as much time helping parents shift how conversations go at home. My background as a school-based therapist means I have seen how these patterns look in the middle of a school day, not only from the outside, and that shapes how I read what a family brings me.

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.
