Child or Adolescent Issues
Dr. Danielle Goodwin
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I have had the privilege to work with children and adolescents for many years in the school, outpatient, residential and inpatient setting. I enjoy helping children to identify and build on their strengths and learn skills at a young age so they can feel more confident about who they are and grow to be the best version of themself. Integral to working with children or adolescents is involving parents so they can learn how to work together to create a harmonious home environment and guide their children or adolescent through difficult situations. I also may collaborate with schools so that interventions can be implemented that focus on their strengths.

Child or Adolescent Issues
W. Katherine Redd
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Is your teen having difficulty adjusting to the aches and pains of growing up? Are they exploring who they are or pushing the boundaries as they do? Or are they struggling with transitions? Each changing situation may have an impact, whether it is moving to a new location, the beginning of a new school year, or shifting from one classroom to the next. Whatever the change, it is especially hard for children and adolescents to navigate alone.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I specialize in working with children and teens whose lives have been shaped by medical challenges, trauma, or neurodivergence. This may include serious or chronic illness, complex diagnoses, hospitalizations, accidents, frightening events, sexual abuse, or sensory and regulation differences that make school, friendships, or family life harder to navigate. Some young people I see are carrying several of these layers. Others are coping with one significant experience, such as PTSD after a specific event or the emotional impact of a new diagnosis.
Many of the children and teens I work with are carrying more than anyone realizes. On the outside, they may look like the good kid, the brave patient, or the one who holds everything together. Inside, they can feel scared, angry, overwhelmed, numb, or very alone.
My work is not general child therapy. I focus on how stress, trauma, medical experiences, and neurodivergence live in a young person’s body, emotions, and relationships. I also work closely with parents so you feel less isolated and more supported in responding to what your child is going through.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
I use a strength-based approach to support children and adolescents in therapy, by focusing on their inherent strengths, passions and potential rather than solely addressing problems or deficits. My therapeutic approach emphasizes identifying and harnessing each young person’s unique abilities, talents, and resilience in order to foster personal growth and improve problem-solving skills. Understanding the current landscape and challenges faced by youth today—such as academic pressures, social media influences and evolving family dynamics—is crucial for tailoring interventions that are relevant and impactful. I intentionally integrate the child’s or adolescent’s imagination and creativity into therapy as well, in order to create a therapeutic process that is interesting, engaging and ultimately empowering. Working with children and adolescents also requires a multidisciplinary approach which can involve parents, extended family, teachers, school counselors and pediatricans in the process. Parents understand the child’s home environment and family dynamics, teachers have insights into the child’s academic and social performance at school, and pediatricians offer medical, historical and developmental perspectives. Combining these viewpoints provides a more comprehensive understanding of the child’s situation and provides information that guides the therapeutic process and ensures greater treatment efficacy across the child or adolecent's environments.
