Child/Teen
Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Childhood and adolescence can be times of tremendous growth — but also stress, confusion, and emotional challenges. I specialize in helping children and teens navigate issues such as anxiety, depression, school difficulties, peer and family conflict, self-esteem concerns, and adjustment to change.
My approach is collaborative, supportive, and developmentally attuned. I work to create a safe, trusting space where young people can express themselves freely and begin to understand their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Sessions often include age-appropriate cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT), emotional regulation skills, and guided problem-solving — all tailored to the child’s developmental level and individual needs.
Equally important, I work closely with parents and caregivers to strengthen communication and consistency at home. By helping families learn practical tools for support and structure, therapy becomes not just a place for the child to grow, but a foundation for the whole family to thrive.
Whether a child is struggling with school stress, social anxiety, mood swings, or family changes, my goal is to help them build resilience, confidence, and emotional understanding that will serve them for life.

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.

Jennifer Canu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I have been working with children and adolescents for over 20 years. Children and teens experience mental health symptoms differently then adults, so it is critical your therapist is able to differentiate age/developmentally-appropriate behaviors from mental health symptoms. I offer structured play, sand-tray, and expressive arts to create space and containment for children and teens to explore and process emotions, challenges, and parts of themselves, as well as to help them learn skills to increase regulation, reduce symptoms, and improve functioning.
