Robin Renucci
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ed.D, Ed.S, M.Ed, LPC, NCC
With a strong foundation as a former school counselor and over 15 years of clinical experience, I specialize in working with children and adolescents navigating the emotional, academic, and social complexities of growing up. My approach is developmentally sensitive, collaborative, and grounded in empathy. I have a deep understanding of the unique challenges young people face—whether it's anxiety, mood concerns, peer relationships, academic pressures, identity exploration, or family dynamics.
My background gives me a nuanced perspective on the systems that impact adolescents and allows me to bridge the gap between home, school, and therapy. I am especially passionate about helping teens build self-awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience, while also empowering families with strategies to support their child’s growth.

Jennifer Cain
Psychologist, Ph.D.
We live in a complicated society and being a child or adolescent (and being a parent) can be hard. Many people have unresolved issues from their childhood or adolescence. Whatever the case for you, we will work together to address the issues. There is a lot parents can do at home with their children. You know your child best and I know what helps a lot of families; with this team approach you can expect positive results. I also give children a safe, comforting place to process their concerns and emotions. Skill-building is included when needed to help kids learn to manage stress and anger, and have better relationships with others.
