Child/Teen
Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Childhood and adolescence can be times of tremendous growth — but also stress, confusion, and emotional challenges. I specialize in helping children and teens navigate issues such as anxiety, depression, school difficulties, peer and family conflict, self-esteem concerns, and adjustment to change.
My approach is collaborative, supportive, and developmentally attuned. I work to create a safe, trusting space where young people can express themselves freely and begin to understand their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Sessions often include age-appropriate cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT), emotional regulation skills, and guided problem-solving — all tailored to the child’s developmental level and individual needs.
Equally important, I work closely with parents and caregivers to strengthen communication and consistency at home. By helping families learn practical tools for support and structure, therapy becomes not just a place for the child to grow, but a foundation for the whole family to thrive.
Whether a child is struggling with school stress, social anxiety, mood swings, or family changes, my goal is to help them build resilience, confidence, and emotional understanding that will serve them for life.

Gregor Nathanael Schwarz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I specialize in supporting children and adolescents through the diverse challenges of growing up, providing a safe, collaborative space to navigate developmental, social, and behavioral milestones. Whether addressing life transitions, identity development, school-related stress, or general emotional challenges, my approach is centered on building a strong therapeutic alliance with both the child and their family. By partnering with parents and schools, I help young clients build the resilience, emotional vocabulary, and practical coping skills necessary to thrive at home, in the classroom, and beyond.
