Child or Adolescent Issues
Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Children and adolescents may face a multitude of challenges stemming from factors such as family dynamics, peer pressure, school-related stress, or traumatic events. When individuals encounter these obstacles, I aim to provide a supportive environment where they can freely express their emotions and experiences. I assist them in comprehending their feelings and acquiring effective coping strategies. Furthermore, I engage both the young individual and their family members, to enhance communication and foster stronger familial bonds, which are pivotal in addressing these challenges.

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.

Ashley Miller Nolan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I LOVE playing and no one is better at playing than kids! I have been honored to witness children courageously bear their souls, face their hard life situations, fears, and shadow self (shame/embarrassment/guilt) and therefore bring freedom and creative, helpful ways of living into their lives. Obviously, play therapy looks different online, but with a few toys on each end and a child who feels safe and seen...watch out, they will create, play and process through what they need to without conscious knowledge or effort of doing so. I am just thankful to be along for the ride!
Most of my talk therapy will come with their parents who I like to work with more consistently than with the child. Helping parents figure out how they are reacting to their children and their children's thoughts, feelings, sensations, urges, and behaviors allow parents to create more comfortable and helpful ways of parenting and interacting with the little human being in their care.
Adolescent human beings are also a joy to connect with.
