Heidi Sawyer, LPC & Career Exploration Coach
Licensed Professional Counselor
The teenage years can be a scary stage of parenting, but with a unique understanding of adolescent development and the challenges that teens face today, I believe it can be an opportunity for parents and teens to find connection. I work with parents who are looking to build a healthier relationship with their adolescent and I work with adolescents ages 15 & up.

Josh Thames
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, NCC
You know your child is struggling, but they can't or won't talk to you about it. You want to help but don't know what's really going on and you're worried about them. You also know they don't want to talk to anyone about their issues. I was a teacher and a coach at the middle and high school levels for 15 years before becoming a therapist. I understand that most kids feel defensive and frustrated at adults. Before we discuss anything of importance, they'll need to trust me. We can work together to help them through this difficult moment. You don't have to do this on your own.

Kelli Tahaney
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have focused my private clinical practice on working with adolescents and young adults in particular. I have a lot of experience clinically and through volunteering working with adolescents. Whether in middle school, high school, college/early 20s, I really enjoy providing support and guidance to individuals in the incredibly important developmental phase of adolescence. It's important for adolescents to have their own safe, trusted outlet to explore the time period between childhood and full independence, which can include a lot of growth edges such as familial conflict, tumultuous peer relationships, overwhelming emotions, and new risk behaviors.
