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.
