Michelle Peacock
Psychologist, PhD
Anxiety, depression, school and family transitions, and bullying are just a few problems children and adolescents face today that cause considerable distress. In turn, these problems inevitably impact the family and can be dealt with effectively in therapy.

Kimberlee Zetocha Halverson
Psychologist, Ph.D, LP
I have great experience working with children and teens across many settings including inpatient, outpatient, and in home therapy sessions. I have worked exclusively with kids/teens in session, but also when appropriate and needed encourage parent involvement in some of the sessions. I have extensive experience in behavior modification which often includes the help of parents within sessions. I am known to be very relatable and comfortable to talk to when it comes to kids and teens.

Since starting virtual therapy three years ago, I’m no longer able to work with small children. I do however treat several teen/emerging young adults in their development and identity formation. Older people are greatly encouraged too!

Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience working with children and adolescents. Most children need to be seen in-person, but many teens are comfortable doing therapy virtually and this can be an effective treatment mode for them. With children and younger teens, parent consultations are usually part of the treatment so that we all work together as a "team" to help your child with whatever issues they are struggling. Older teens often do better when the therapy is more confidential, so that they can feel comfortable being open with me. I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you and your child. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your child, your family, and reasons for seeking therapy. I then meet with your child once or twice to get a sense of the issues with which they are struggling and determine if it appears therapy can be useful. At that point I give parents some feedback and we plan together from there. My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that kids and parents would like to see.
