Child or Adolescent Issues
Stephanie Olarte
Psychologist, PhD
Families usually come to me because they're ready for something different. Their kids have outgrown the blank-slate nice therapist who has a picture of rocks or lotuses on their website. Let's cut to the chase: I am passionately curious about angry children. Kids with anger issues have more untapped potential than any other population I've encountered in my 16+ years of working with children and teens. I have seen them in daycare. I have seen them in K-12 schools. I have helped them apply for college. I have been their substitute teacher, their private tutor, their babysitter, and now, their therapist. Today, I am their fiercest cheerleader. Their parents are often battered along the way with harsh judgement and fractured connections with their children. I am also the parents' fiercest cheerleader. If you're ready to dive deep into your angry kid's inner world and join me as I help them learn to love themselves and use their fiery spirit for good, hit me up. I can't wait to meet you!

Alyssa Kushner
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with teens ages 12+ and young adults virtually! If your teen is struggling with school anxiety, stress, or avoidance, self harm or emotional dysregulation, or depression or effects of trauma I am here to support! Through a blend of trauma-informed & somatic approaches I will help your teen learn how to cope with and manage feelings and develop confidence in themselves. I will always prioritize creating a safe and trusting relationship first, because I do believe the therapeutic relationship matters most. As a parent, it can be difficult when you know your teen is struggling all while you are also trying to keep up with life stressors and work, so I am happy to provide parent coaching every 4-6 weeks or sooner depending on need, to make sure you are being updated and know how to best support your teen. If the teen client is open to it, I will also happily provide family sessions to talk together as a team.

Dr. Kahina Beasley
Psychologist, Psy.D.
When a child or adolescent faces challenges in their academic journey, the experience can be deeply distressing for both the student and their parents. Determining the most effective support strategies often requires a comprehensive assessment of the young person's cognitive and processing skills, conducted by a licensed expert. I offer psychoeducational evaluations tailored to pinpoint your child's unique needs, providing you with a detailed report that can be presented to their school. This documentation is pivotal in advocating for the necessary interventions, ensuring your child receives the targeted assistance they require to thrive academically.
