Allison King
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, RPT
I work with children ages 5–17 who are struggling with problem behaviors or difficult emotions. That might look like meltdowns, withdrawal, acting out at school, or a teen who suddenly won't talk to you or is lashing out. Rather than just supporting your child in individual therapy, I bring you into the work, thus improving the bond between you and your child. This relationship is the most powerful tool for healing, so we use that relationship to create quicker, more lasting change than individual child therapy.

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.

Growing up today comes with immense pressure, often leaving children and adolescents feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or alone. I offer a calm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where young people can express what they’re experiencing beneath the surface. My work focuses on emotional regulation, resilience, and helping them develop a secure sense of self as they navigate school, relationships, and identity.
