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.

Navigating childhood and adolescence brings distinct developmental and emotional milestones. Utilizing evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and play-informed strategies, I help young people build essential coping skills for anxiety, depression, ADHD, social and academic stress.

W. Katherine Redd
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Is your teen having difficulty adjusting to the aches and pains of growing up? Are they exploring who they are or pushing the boundaries as they do? Or are they struggling with transitions? Each changing situation may have an impact, whether it is moving to a new location, the beginning of a new school year, or shifting from one classroom to the next. Whatever the change, it is especially hard for children and adolescents to navigate alone.
