Child or Adolescent Issues
Lora Proia/ Centered Village LLC Counseling & Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LCPC, LPC
Adolescent issues are unique and challenging at times. I help adolescents and their families navigate through those tough times. Having over 25 years of experience working with adolescents and families through middle school teaching, high school counseling, professional counseling and being a parent of two grown children, I am well versed in adolescent behaviors and issues. Teens do not show depression the same way as adults, and do not respond to therapy the same as adults and I am good at helping teens identify issues and provide coping strategies to apply to their daily lives as well as teaching alternate ways to build relationships and express needs. Helping parents navigate through those teen years is another way that I can help by providing strategies on how to communicate with their teen effectively, guide their child, and help with relationship building with each other.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I specialize in working with children and teens whose lives have been shaped by medical challenges, trauma, or neurodivergence. This may include serious or chronic illness, complex diagnoses, hospitalizations, accidents, frightening events, sexual abuse, or sensory and regulation differences that make school, friendships, or family life harder to navigate. Some young people I see are carrying several of these layers. Others are coping with one significant experience, such as PTSD after a specific event or the emotional impact of a new diagnosis.
Many of the children and teens I work with are carrying more than anyone realizes. On the outside, they may look like the good kid, the brave patient, or the one who holds everything together. Inside, they can feel scared, angry, overwhelmed, numb, or very alone.
My work is not general child therapy. I focus on how stress, trauma, medical experiences, and neurodivergence live in a young person’s body, emotions, and relationships. I also work closely with parents so you feel less isolated and more supported in responding to what your child is going through.

Good Human Work
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPC, CSAC
Parenting is hard and our kids don't always respond how we'd like. Our children grow and development at a rapid pace. As soon as we think we've figured parenting out, our kids change again. Struggling with specific aspects of parenting, and worrying about your child or teen's behavior is fairly normal. It's hard to know what is a true "problem" and what is within the range of "normal" behavior. We'll help you sort it out and know what steps to take to regain your footing and improve your relationship with your child.
