Child or Adolescent Issues
Eve Palmatier
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have spent the last 7 years working with children and families. It's a really rewarding age group to support. This is a time when children are building their sense of self, figuring out how they want to engage with their world, and building an understanding of how society works. When I'm able to connect with someone so early on in their life, and provide them with the skills to understand and address whatever mental health struggle they're dealing with--it can change the trajectory of their lives. Therapy for this age group is so incredibly powerful, especially when parents and families are pulled in to reinforce the work being done in sessions. It is a rare chance to get ahead of difficulties before they become deep seated and difficult to uproot. I often feel that I'm trying to help my young clients figure out who they want to be, and support them in growing into the healthiest and strongest version of themselves.

Child or Adolescent Issues
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.
