Will Bell
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, LPC
Parenting is far from easy. There's a million approaches and it can feel like none of them work. Sometimes we need another level of support. I've talked with a lot of students and heard how frustrating it can be to come to therapy. Or how scary it can be. There can be a lot of questions ("Am I ok?", "Will I always be depressed?", "Why am I angry?"). Or there can be a lot of denial ("I'm fine", "My parent is really the problem", "Counseling's a waste of time"). I'll work with your teen to help them feel comfortable, talking with them in an office or on a walk together, giving them a person they know they can trust with what's bothering them.

Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Childhood and adolescence can be times of tremendous growth — but also stress, confusion, and emotional challenges. I specialize in helping children and teens navigate issues such as anxiety, depression, school difficulties, peer and family conflict, self-esteem concerns, and adjustment to change.
My approach is collaborative, supportive, and developmentally attuned. I work to create a safe, trusting space where young people can express themselves freely and begin to understand their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Sessions often include age-appropriate cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT), emotional regulation skills, and guided problem-solving — all tailored to the child’s developmental level and individual needs.
Equally important, I work closely with parents and caregivers to strengthen communication and consistency at home. By helping families learn practical tools for support and structure, therapy becomes not just a place for the child to grow, but a foundation for the whole family to thrive.
Whether a child is struggling with school stress, social anxiety, mood swings, or family changes, my goal is to help them build resilience, confidence, and emotional understanding that will serve them for life.
