Audrey Stempel, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
It is important to provide a safe, judgment-free space for children to express their feelings and struggles. It is important for them to have a neutral person in their lives to help them navigate their struggles and learn the skills they need to be successful.

Andrew D. Sapp
Psychologist, PhD
At this point in my career I only want to work with children and adolescents who are motivated to change and want help. But over the last 30 years I have worked with over 1,000 pre-teens and teens. I started two therapeutic schools, have worked with teens in therapeutic outdoor adventure programs, community mental health, residential treatment facilities, psychiatric hospitals, a juvenile corrections facility, etc.

Authentically You Counseling
Treatment Center, LCMHC
Scheduling at AYC is easy - schedule an intake as soon as next week. Finding the courage to be true to yourself despite the challenges you have to overcome is the ultimate goal of therapy. I believe one of the greatest grievances is living an inauthentic life with who you are. Regardless of what you’ve been through, if something is stopping you from living your truth - if fear prevents you from engaging in life the way you want or you are attempting to live up to some societal or personal expectation so far out of reach it hurts - If something is preventing you from living your fullest life, you can make a difference!
I want to help you reach your fullest potential according to your personal truth, values and beliefs. If we embark on this journey together, you will be the driver. I will simply help you see the different paths to reaching your end goal. In the end, you must be true to yourself in choosing the path you wish to take - or none at all.
Finding your truth sometimes means making a decision about whether or not to live your full truth. We can work together to help you explore your options to make the right choice for You. Making the call (or email) to start your journey is the first step - Let us start your journey together!

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Adolescence is the first time a person is asked to assemble a self in real time, in public, with an audience that is merciless. The pressure is not imagined. The stakes are not small. What looks from the outside like defiance or withdrawal or apathy is almost always a person in the middle of figuring out which parts of themselves are allowed to exist. I work with adolescents not by trying to correct their behavior but by taking seriously the problem they are trying to solve.

Aryn Ziehnert
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Navigating childhood and the adolescent years can be tough on young minds and their families. I provide a warm, strengths-based environment where young people can safely express themselves, process stress, build emotional regulation, and grow into their authentic selves with confidence and self-compassion.
