Child/Teen
The Well Counseling and Consulting Group
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, LMFT, LCSW, PHD
Kids and teens don’t always have the words for what they’re carrying, so it often shows up as behavior, grades, withdrawal, or conflict at home. Our clinicians bring deep experience with schools and youth-serving organizations, and we work with young people in ways that feel natural to them. We also partner with parents and caregivers, because lasting change happens when the whole support system is in the room.

Akilah Yates
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, NCC, CCTP, CTMH
Childhood and adolescence can bring emotional, social, and behavioral challenges that are difficult to navigate. From academic stress and peer relationships to self-esteem, anxiety, and family conflict, young people often need a safe space to express themselves. I provide an encouraging, age-appropriate therapeutic environment where children and adolescents can explore their emotions, develop healthy coping skills, improve communication, and strengthen their confidence. I also recognize the importance of family dynamics and supportive relationships in fostering emotional growth and overall well-being.

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.
