Child or Adolescent Issues
Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
I use a strength-based approach to support children and adolescents in therapy, by focusing on their inherent strengths, passions and potential rather than solely addressing problems or deficits. My therapeutic approach emphasizes identifying and harnessing each young person’s unique abilities, talents, and resilience in order to foster personal growth and improve problem-solving skills. Understanding the current landscape and challenges faced by youth today—such as academic pressures, social media influences and evolving family dynamics—is crucial for tailoring interventions that are relevant and impactful. I intentionally integrate the child’s or adolescent’s imagination and creativity into therapy as well, in order to create a therapeutic process that is interesting, engaging and ultimately empowering. Working with children and adolescents also requires a multidisciplinary approach which can involve parents, extended family, teachers, school counselors and pediatricans in the process. Parents understand the child’s home environment and family dynamics, teachers have insights into the child’s academic and social performance at school, and pediatricians offer medical, historical and developmental perspectives. Combining these viewpoints provides a more comprehensive understanding of the child’s situation and provides information that guides the therapeutic process and ensures greater treatment efficacy across the child or adolecent's environments.

PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, DBT-LBC™, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Teens need just the right fit when it comes to working with a therapist. They need someone who can make them feel comfortable enough to open up while also challenging them at a level that helps them to grow. We have therapists who work with adolescents struggling with a variety of issues such as social anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, addiction, self-harm, suicide, or just difficulty navigating everyday stressors.

Child or Adolescent Issues
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.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Alex Stachowski
Pre-Licensed Professional, NCC, MA
Children and adolescents often feel pressure to meet expectations long before they have the tools to manage it. I support teens who struggle with academic stress, identity development, peer relationships, or emotional overwhelm. Therapy provides a steady space to build resilience, self-awareness, and coping skills — helping young people develop confidence rooted in who they are, not just how they perform.

Darryl G. Carter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I specialize in working with children and adolescents, helping them navigate emotional, behavioral, and developmental challenges in a supportive and age-appropriate way. I address concerns such as attention difficulties, anxiety, anger, school-related issues, and social skills by using evidence-based approaches tailored to each child’s needs. I collaborate closely with parents, caregivers, and schools to ensure consistency and support across environments. My goal is to help young clients build confidence, improve emotional regulation, and develop the skills needed to succeed both academically and socially.
