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.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
From the outset of my graduate training and research interests, I have worked in multiple settings with children, teens and families to encourage closeness, connection and regulation. Attachment frames the work that I do with kids to ensure that existing attachments relationships-parents, extended family, siblings, teachers, friends-are seen as the connective tissue of healthy growth and development for folks at all ages across the life span.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience working with children and adolescents. Most children need to be seen in-person, but many teens are comfortable doing therapy virtually and this can be an effective treatment mode for them. With children and younger teens, parent consultations are usually part of the treatment so that we all work together as a "team" to help your child with whatever issues they are struggling. Older teens often do better when the therapy is more confidential, so that they can feel comfortable being open with me. I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you and your child. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your child, your family, and reasons for seeking therapy. I then meet with your child once or twice to get a sense of the issues with which they are struggling and determine if it appears therapy can be useful. At that point I give parents some feedback and we plan together from there. My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that kids and parents would like to see.
