Since starting virtual therapy three years ago, I’m no longer able to work with small children. I do however treat several teen/emerging young adults in their development and identity formation. Older people are greatly encouraged too!

I am an expert at working with children and teens and have been doing so for over 25 years. I use a collaborative approach with parents. I have a therapy dog named Zeke and he is amazing with kids, and helps them feel comfortable and enjoy coming in.

Kelli Tahaney
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have focused my private clinical practice on working with adolescents and young adults in particular. I have a lot of experience clinically and through volunteering working with adolescents. Whether in middle school, high school, college/early 20s, I really enjoy providing support and guidance to individuals in the incredibly important developmental phase of adolescence. It's important for adolescents to have their own safe, trusted outlet to explore the time period between childhood and full independence, which can include a lot of growth edges such as familial conflict, tumultuous peer relationships, overwhelming emotions, and new risk behaviors.
